H. Valeria Drc. (53 b) is somewhat similar, fuscous, deep reddish grey dusting on inner marginal half valena. 
to postmedian. A flat semicircular whitish yellow mark on costa, below same the indistinct grey stigmata. 
The very irregular posterior transverse line is fairly distinct. Marginal area whitish yellow dusted with fuscous 
and minute dark marginal dots. The $ is very similar, but inner area is darker, dusted with brownish black. 
Mexico, Guatemala. 
H. margana Fabr. (= subapicana Wkr., radisana Wkr. , $ inorata Grt., $ sordida Grt., canofusa Hmps., margana. 
tarasca Schs .) (53 c). Forewings of bright fuscous, admixed with ochreous at costa and with brown ante- 
median band that is edged with pale yellow towards base. Stigmata small and black with white surrounds, 
between them a brown central line. A white triangular spot before the apex beyond the postmedian which is 
dusted with grey outwardly in the lower half. In $ forewings are dark brown speckled with grey with a white 
streak in centre of costa and triangular mark before apex. Stigmata and transverse lines extinct. Hind wings 
dark brown. From Texas and West Indies, then further south from Panama to Argentine and Paraguay. 
H. perstructana Wkr. (= phaenna Drc., mata Drc.) (53 c). The $ is ochreous, faintly dusted with fuscous, perstrudana. 
more or less leaden black in innermarginal half, peppered with yellow with the yellow" transverse lines. Stigmata 
and costal spots black, as are also a faint apical streak and the fringes. Hindwings brownish. The $ is black- 
brown densely speckled with olive-yellow, transverse lines and 3 costal spots yellow-white. Hindwings brown- 
grey. Mexico and Jamaica. 
H. speciosa sp. n. (53 c) is very similar to the preceding. Forewings orange, pale yellow in costal area speciosa. 
with 4 black costal spots. Orbicular and reniform stigmata are large black spots. The former is conjoined with 
the inner margin by a leaden black oblique streak. An oblique patch behind the reniform stigma which is joined 
to a triangular spot just before the anal angle. Fringes orange, with a large round black spot at apex. Hindwings 
black-brown. Mexico (Guerrero). Type in coll. Drattdt. 
H. cleta Drc. Forewings orange-red, yellow on costa in apical third. A leaden grey oblique spot at base cleta. 
with 4 black costal spots. Stigmata leaden grey with yellow surrounds, a blue-grey band from orbicular to 
inner margin and a similar subterminal. Hindwings pale dull crimson-brown. The $ is not described. Mexico 
(Guerrero). 
76. Genus: Spragueia Grt. 
Structure precisely as preceding, but with a narrow small appendicular cell on forewings. The crest 
on metathorax is flat, pointed backwards. The numerous species are superficially very like the preceding and 
are mainly from North America. 
Sp. guttata Grt. (53 c). The black forewings are spotted with yellow-white between the yellow-white guttata. 
transverse lines. A yellow costal spot is situate before the white reniform stigma with its black surround. A 
fuscous band extends from its anterior side to the inner margin. Apex is intersected by an oblique fuscous band 
that also extends to inner margin. Beyond it lies the yellow-white subterminal line. Hindwings fulvous. Texas, 
Mexico. 
Sp. funeralis Grt. (53 c). Forewdngs leaden grey, speckled with white towards margin, with 2 wide yellow funeralis. 
transverse bands that are dusted with orange on the sides facing one another. Between them the leaden grey 
stigmata with a large yellow costal spot in the middle. There is also a yellow spot subapically. Hindwings 
brown. Arizona. 
Sp. magnifica Grt. (53 c). Forewings leaden black with yellowish white transverse lines suffused with magnified. 
orange that merge above the inner margin. Stigmata black. From orbicular a black streak extends to costa 
with a yellow spot posteriorly. A yellow band before margin and another along base of inner margin. Hind¬ 
wings brownish. New Mexico, Arizona. 
Sp. onagrus Guen. (53 d) is similarly marked but larger. Markings bright orange and expanded. Partially onagrus. 
whitish on costa. Hindwings darker brown. Florida, Texas. 
Sp. leo Guen. (= onagrus H.-Schaff. nec Guen.) (53 d). Similar to the preceding, but the transverse lea. 
lines do not merge at inner margin, they are separated by a quadrate black spot there. Orbicular stigma has 
no black streak to costa. Subterminal black band with orange interruption above anal angle. Hindwings brown. 
In $ the stigmata are widely conjoined by black and orbicular again with the black base. Florida, Texas. 
Sp. dama Guen. (= trifariana Wkr., transmutata Wkr., pardalis Grt.) (53 d). Forewings of orange dama. 
with oblique black basal spot which is outwardly triangular and edged with yellow-white. Between the black 
stigmata a large pale yellow costal spot in which there is a small black streak in centre of costa. At postmedian 
is a further small pale yellow spot. From the orbicular stigma and behind the reniform, deep crimson bands 
extend to inner margin. Fringes checked with black over the centre. Hindwings black-brown. In § almost 
the entire wing is crimson-black. From Florida and Texas to Guatemala and also on Cuba, Haiti and Grenada.
