antemedian band rectilinearly bordering on the broad white median band. From Costa-Rica. 
S. ormenis Schs. (50 a). Forewing Isabel-coloured, at the costal margin brown, the darkest in the apical ormenis.

a brown inner-marginal shadow. Hindwing whitish, dusted with light greyish-brown. Cayenne. 
S. basipunctaria Wh\ (= melanisticta Hmps.) (50 b). Forewing light reddish-brown with black costal- basipunc- 
marginal dots near the base and before the middle, and a dot at the cell-end as well as antemedianly on the taria. 
submedian fold; the posterior transverse line is feeble, red-brown, the light undulating subterminal line is on 
both sides bordered with red-brown, behind it intense black marginal dots. Hindwing with the same colouring 
and marking. Known from Florida and St. Vincent. 
S. penumbrata Hulst. is very similar to basipunctaria , of a darker and more monotonous colouring and penumbrata. 
much feebler marking, the marginal dots being almost extinct. Florida. 
9. Genus : Jjycaugesia Hamps. 
Like the preceding genus, but with a stunted proboscis; on the forewing only the 3 middle subcostal 
branches are stalked, the upper median branch being not stalked and rising before the lower cell-angle; the 
middle radial branch of the hindwing is feeble. The exterior of these small Noctuids is the same as in the 
preceding genera. Also of this genus there are a few Indian species known beside the Americans (cf. Vol. XI). 
L. fuscifascia Dogn. (50 b) is easily recognisable, forewdng reddish-yellow with a grey longitudinal band fuscifascia. 
through the cell to the margin light below the apex, with red scales on the edges, also the costal and inner 
margin in the middle with red scales. Hindwing with a broad brownish-grey median band. French Guiana. 
L. flavimargo Hmps. (50 b). Forewing whitish, dusted and strewn with red-brown, in the interior flavimargo. 
and marginal areas more yellow, the transverse lines indicated by single black dots, the posterior line curved; 
at the cell-end there is a small whitish luna and before the margin there are single small dark spots. Hindwing 
at the base red-brown, in the central area reddish pink, especially towards the inner margin strewn with black, 
with a faded dark median band. Marginal area yellow with a small blackish subterminal spot. Brazil (Amazons). 
L. teneralis Wkr. (50 b). Forewing yellowish-white, at the costal margin and in the cell strewn with teneralis. 
purple grey, with broad faded reddish-yellow transverse lines, the anterior line being double and a similar spot 
at the cell-end; marginal area likewise reddish-yellow with a whitish undulating line. Hindwing similarly 
coloured and marked, behind the middle dusted with purple grey, enclosing the dark posterior transverse line.

L. gratificula Dyar (50 b) is similar to teneralis, smaller, light yellow, at the costal margin and distal gratificula.

pur]tie grey with a light yellow antemedian band, in the marginal area light red-brown. Panama. 
L. semiblanda Dyar (50 b) chiefly differs from gratificula in the presence of a broad grey costal-marginal semiblanda.

L. postnigrescens Dyar (50 b) has light violettish brown forewings with single dots and streaks instead postnigres- 
of the usual transverse lines and a very prominent black subapical stripe. The hindwing shows the same ground- cens. 
colour with thick irregular nebulous spots, so that only the base, an inner-marginal spot and one at the distal 
margin remain light. Panama. 
L. perpurpura Dyar (50 b). Wings pinkish-purple with ochreous fringes, on the forewing with a dark perpurpura. 
discal spot and a white notched subterminal line, on the hindwing with 2 curved, deep purple transverse lines, 
both the wings with dark marginal spots being more prominent on the hindwing. Panama. 
L. hemipennis Dyar (50 b). Forewing very long and narrow, dark grey, with a white interior transverse hemipennis. 
line which is only distinct in the lower half, a white discoidal streak with a white undulate line from there to 
the inner margin, and a subterminal white zigzag-line. The very small hindwing is light yellow with long 
whitish fringe. Panama. 
L. rubripicta Hmps. (50 b). The whitish ground is strewn with a lighter and darker red-brown, the rubripida. 
marginal area is yellowish with fine blackish transverse lines partly broken up into dots, and a white oblique 
discal streak on each side bordered with black, before it a red-brown cellular spot; the dentate light subterminal 
line is on both sides bordered by dark. The whitish hindwing is suffused with red in the discal and marginal 
areas and strewn with black, otherwise marked like the fore wing. Panama. 
L. hatita Schs. (50 b) is allied to rubripicta, with a red-brown, basad more yellow forewing, with a hatita.
