L. carolinensis B. <£■ McD. (48 d) is allied, to bimatris, but it is smaller, and the forewing is not 
white, but intensely lustrous light ochreous-yellow, on the collar dark olive. Hindwing smoky-brown, towards 
the base ochreous-yellow with a large discal spot. From North-Carolina. 
L. concinna 8m. (48 d) has comparatively long and narrow wings; the forewing is olive-ochreous, 
basally, subterminally, and in the reniform macula chocolate-brown, with white transverse lines, the distal 
line behind the cell punctiform. Hindwing blackish, basally yellowish-red. Texas. 
L. mortua Grt. (48 d). Forewing light greyish-brown, powdered with reddish, basally and subterminally 
darker red-brown with lighter transverse lines between; the undulate line is composed of dark dots. Hindwing 
orange with a blackish discal spot and marginal band which is spotted orange in the centre. The $ is darker, 
in the basal area of the hindwing blackish. — f. packardii Grt. is an intensely blackish form with almost entirely 
black hindwings, the yellow colour being reduced. — f. nobilis Grt., on the contrary, is more variegated, with 
redder forewings and bright orange hindwings. Texas, Colorado, Arizona. 
L. labe Streck. (48 d) was considered to be a form of mortua, but it is a distinct species and separated 
by quite obsolete markings. Texas. 
L. aniblys Dyar (48 d) is a small species, olive-ochreous, basally and subterminally pinkish-brownish, 
with whitish transverse lines, with a large dark median spot. Hindwing ochreous-yellow, basally as well as 
at the costal margin and hind-margin blackened, with a broad black marginal band and discal luna. The $ 
is darker and more contrastingly coloured. Mexico (Guerrero, Morelos). 
L. errans 8m. (48 d) is similar to amblys, larger, with narrower wings, the whole body ochreous- 
yellow, fore wing ochreous-yellow and olive-brown with a broad brown median shadow before the reniform 
macula which is surrounded with brown, in the brown marginal area with a lighter undulate line. Hindwing 
yellow with a black marginal band and discal spot. Arizona. 
L. meskeana Grt. (= fastidiosa Streck.) (48 e) is olive-brown on the forewing, in the median area 
ochreous-yellowish hued with pink, in the marginal area light olive, with white transverse lines and a dark 
discal spot. Hindwing black with 2 round yellowish median spots and obsolete spots before the centre of the 
margin. Texas to Mexico (Jalapa). 
L. rufimedia Grt. (48 e) is very similar to meskeana, but whereas in the latter the abdomen is uni¬ 
coloured yellow, it shows here blackisli-brown bands; the postmedian band of the forewing is darker; on the 
hindwing the median spots are much smaller, and the marginal spots are entirely absent. Beneath the light 
parts are yellowish, in meskeana white. From Florida. 
L. siren Streck. (48 e). Forewing greyish-yellow, basally and postmedianly red-brown, bordered by 
black transverse lines, and with a black discal spot and a red-brown median shadow before it. Hindwing all 
black with white fringes. Texas. 
L. tuberculum Hubn. ( = dorsilutea Wkr.) (48 e). Forewing light reddish-brown with lighter transverse 
lines and blackish irroration behind the distal line. Hindwing orange with a black discal spot, the two ends 
of which are united with the broad black margin. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida. 
L. obscurata Streck. (48 e) is a small species, on the forewing light yellow, basally and postmedianly 
olive-brown with a quadrangular large brown reniform macula which is broadly united with the brown basal 
area along the costal margin. Hindwing black with a yellow basal area. Pennsylvania. 
L. bicuspida Sm. (48 e) has ochreous-yellowish forewings, basally and subterminally strewn with 
blackish, the reniform macula brownish-grey as well as a median shadow before it, being widened towards 
the hind-margin; the light undulate line is on both the folds strongly inwardly angled; fringes speckled with 
blackish. Hindwing black with a broad yellow median band which is parted by the discal spot. Texas. 
L. brevis Grt. (48 e). Forewing on the yellowish-white ground red-brown and strewn with black, 
basally and postmedianly red-brown with light transverse lines and a dark reniform macula; fringes speckled 
brown. Hindwing blackish-brown with 2 yellowish discal spots. New York to New Mexico. — f. atrites Grt. 
is a ^ form with quite black hindwings. 
L. approximafa Streck. is dull ochreous-yellow, basally and postmedianly blackish-brown, the strong 
white transverse lines are slightly dentate; before the quadrangular brown reniform macula a similar median 
shadow; behind the irregularly dentate undulate line the marginal area is light ochreous-yellow, or powdered 
with a brownish grey. Hindwing yellow-white, particularly basally powdered with black, with a black discal 
spot and the marginal band connected with it. Texas. 
L. septentrionalis Wkr. (48 e) is the darkest species, blackish-brown, only in some places powdered 
with a yellowish or reddish brown, with 2 yellowish spots in the centre of the cell and below it, as well as one 
at the apex; transverse lines indistinct, lighter. Hindwing blackish-brown. From Illinois.
