dusted with reddish-yellow, with reddish-ochreous transverse lines bordered with white, the maculae feebly 
surrounded with white, the undulate line being whitish, too. Hindwing yellowish-white. From New Found-

others centred with rusty brown, with small black sagittate spots before the white undulate line. Hindwing 
light brown. Known from Texas. 
L. concinnimacula Gum. (52 c) is very closely allied with parvimacula, it is somewhat deeper bluish 
green, the two maculae being centred red-brown in the preceding species are brightly centred here, the 
transverse lines are not double but white, only one side of them scaled somewhat red, some red and black 
scales are below the cell-end, the small sagittate spots before the undulate line are red. Hindwing darker 
brown. Canada to Pennsylvania.

L. mella Schs. (52 cl) is a pretty and common little insect, easily recognizable: white, greyish-green mella. 
in the median area and before it, with broad white transverse lines and orange-red or scarlet spots in the 
basal area, in the maculae and before the undulate line, as well as a similarly coloured sub median stripe con¬ 
necting the transverse lines. Hindwing white. Brazil. 
L. jora Schs. (52 d). Fore wing light olive green, darker in the median area below the cell, spotted blackish- jora. 
brown at the costal margin, the maculae surrounded with white, the reniform macula is only a brown streak in a 
very large white area, with brownish transverse lines, the posterior line broadly bordered with white; a large 
olive green spot in the centre of the blackish-brown marginal area. Hindwing brownish-grey. Costa Rica. 
L. folium Schs. (52 d) is likewise light green on the forewing, blackish-brown in the median area, behind folium. 
the cell and in a large spot in the centre of the marginal area, with olive green and brown transverse lines, 
with a line of dots behind the exterior line; ring-macula olive green, reniform macula only a curved brown line; 
undulate line whitish green. Hind wing blackish-brown. Costa Rica. 
L. atrinotata Hmps. (52 d). Forewing olive green, dusted with reddish-brown especially in the median atrinotata. 
area and behind it, with somewhat faded transverse lines, the posterior line partly white; the ring-macula is 
a small black spot, the reniform macula a small whitish spot scaled black inside; the lower two thirds of the 
undulate line are thick white, a black ray extends from it to the margin. Hindwing reddish brown. Brazil. 
L. chlorophila Hmps. (52 d). Forewing olive green, mixed with white and strewn with red-brown, with chlorophila. 
double darker green transverse lines filled with whitish, a black spot between the maculae which are surroun¬ 
ded by whitish, the latter spot continued by the faded median line, the reniform macula strangulated and in¬ 
wardly prolonged on the median vein; blackish before the undulate line. Hindwing brownish. Brazil. 
L. glauca Hmps. (52 d) has reddish olive green forewings striped purple grey on the median and inner- glauca. 
marginal vein, with black transverse lines bordered with white on the averted sides, the white maculae sur¬

L. musta G. <£• Rob. (52 d). Forewing olive green, strewn with black, dusted with red-brown in the distal musta. 
half of the median area, with black transverse lines bordered with red-brown and whitish, the posterior line 
more distinctly double; all the 3 maculae centred with red-brown and surrounded with whitish, also the coni¬
