transverse line crosses the cell-end; a dentate white subterminal line is only visible at the anal angle. Hindwing 
ochreous, brown strewing forms a broad subterminal shadow, behind it the marginal area is purer white; at 
the cell-end a white spot on both sides bordered with dark. Costa-Rica. 
A 
L. monostella Dyar (50 c). Forewing purple grey with 3 yellow spots strewn with red, one in the basal 
third of the inner margin, one at the cell-end, and a subterminal one, at the costal margin and corresponding 
to the situation of the anterior transverse line black dots. Hindwing with a small yellow and red discal spot, 
adjoining to it a blackish median line, the exterior transverse line only marked by single small black scales. 
Panama. 
L. fuscicosta Hmps. (50 c) is reddish yellowish-brown on the forewing, at the costal margin down to 
the discal fold blackish-brown, strewn with purple grey, with traces of curved brown transverse lines and of 
a light dentate subterminal line. Hindwing somewhat more intensely strewn with red-brown, similarly marked 
as the fore wing. Panama. 
L. melasoma Hmps. (50 c) is distinguished by the abdomen being black towards the end. Forewing 
light red-brown with single black dots instead of the transverse lines, a black streak on the discal fold behind 
the cell, and a black subapical streak; black marginal dots are very distinct. The similarly coloured hindwing 
shows traces of red-brown median and postmedian lines. Panama. 
L. pseudura Dyar (50 c) resembles hypozonata in its shape and colour. Forewing light brown with 
purple, not very prominent markings, a dark basal spot, rather indistinct transverse lines, behind the exterior 
line the colour is somewhat lighter, the line itself in the middle very much distally curved. Hindwing feebly 
marked reddish-yellow, with 2 puipie spots at the anal margin, the upper one more like a shortened band, the 
lower one pointedly projecting into the fringe. Panama. 
L. hypozonata Hmps. (50 c). Forewing light red-brown, especially towards the costal margin strewn 
with purple grey, instead of the transverse lines with single black dots, and with a light discal streak behind 
which there is a blackish small wedge, light traces of the posterior transverse line; behind the feeble light 
subterminal line there are intense black marginal dots. Hindwing purple grey, dusted with brown like the 
light undulate line which is scaled dark on both sides. Panama to the Amazons. 
L. homogranima Schs. (50 c) shows brownish straw-coloured forewings strewn with purple, with a large 
round purple grey reniform macula from where a purple oblique stripe extends into the apex which is shaded 
with purple like the distal margin; the anterior transverse line is marked by 3 black dots. Hindwing crossed 
by straight transverse bands, a double median one, a reddish shaded one behind it, and a brown one right before 
the distal margin; black marginal dots on both wings distinct. Costa-Rica. 
L. semiclara Dyar (50 c) is similar, forewing straw-coloured, in the costal half strewn with brownish, 
with a round discal purple spot which is connected with the apex by a stripe; distal margin shaded with 
brownish. Hindwing only in the basal third straw-coloured, outside lilac grey; strewn darker in the shape of 
transverse lines, in the yellow portion crossed by a red line. Panama. 
L. microzale Dyar (50 c). Forewing reddish-brown, in the costal third dark grey and a black prominent 
discal dot. Hindwing darker brown with fine red undulate lines and one black dot each at the apex and anal 
margin, and with a black streak in the interior marginal half. Panama. 
L. calochroa Dyar (50 c) has yellow forewings strewn with orange, with a pinkish purple discal spot 
enclosing a deep purple central dot; at the base of the costal margin there is likewise a small purple spot. Hind¬ 
wing with a broad curved median band of purple pink colour, edged by black-scaled lines. Panama. 
L. epistigma Dyar (50 c). Forewing flesh-coloured, dusted with grey, with red dots instead of the 
interior transverse line and at the base, as well as a large black discal spot. Hindwing with feeble red undulating 
transverse bands and black marginal dots as on the forewing. Panama. 
L. stigmaleuca Dyar (50 d) is light grey, in the disc of the forewing yellowish with feeble fine transverse 
lines, at the apex shaded with dark in the shape of longitudinal stripes; the white discal spot is very distinct. 
Hindwing with a double red-brown median line filled with grey, behind it a white line. Marginal line black. 
Panama. 
10. Genus: Araeopterella Dyar. 
Same neuration as in Araeoptera, but the uppermost subcostal branch rises from the cell; the erect- 
palpi reach to the vertex, the middle and last joints are uniformly scaled, the proboscis is fully developed, 
thorax and abdomen tuftless. Only 1 species: 
A. miscidisce Dyar (50 d). Forewing light grey, towards the costal margin whitish, in the marginal 
area olive grey with a white subterminal band and black marginal dots inwardly pupilled white; no transverse
