shaft of the otherwise black antennae is white from the middle to shortly before the tip above. The before 
me having been used for the figure originates from Bolivia; the species was described from Colombia. 
H. duronia Druce. Head, palpi, thorax and abdomen are black, the antennae black with a white tip. duronia. 
The abdomen exhibits on the ventral side a bright, bronze-green reflection. The first abdominal ring and the 
last 4 segments are red-curled. Characteristic are the snow-white legs. The wings are hyaline, the forewings 
with a broadly black base and costal margin, a black median spot and apex; the hindwings are broadly black 
at the proximal margin. Colombia. 
H. sandion Druce. Head and antennae black, neck and collar orange-yellow; thorax and abdomen sandion. 
greenish-black, the latter at the base and laterally banded orange-yellow; legs orange, black-curled. Wings 
hyaline with black veins and margins. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Colombia (San Juan; Choco). 
H. garleppi Bothsch. has a black body, the front half of the abdomen with a steel-green lustre. The garleppi. 
legs are black, the basal two fifths of the anterior and middle tarsi white, three quarters of the hind tarsi white. 
Forewings yellowish hyaline, the margins, base, and a discocellular spot broadly black; the hindwings are 
less yellow, at the base and margins black, the proximal margin grey. — The much larger $ has longer and 
narrower wings all of which are uniformly yellow. — From Peru (Marcapata and Huancabamba). Distinguishable 
from the similar leuce (10 1) by yellowish wings, differently coloured legs and the antennae being white-coloured 
only beneath at the tips. 
H. watkinsi Z>/ ■uce, allied to the preceding, has a black head and thorax, and a metallic-green abdomen; watkinsi. 
neck, base of the thorax and ventral side white; the abdomen on each side shows 4 yellowish-white spots, 
beneath 2 red ones. Legs black and white. On the hyaline forewings the veins, the base, a spot at the cell-end 
and a large spot at the distal margin below the apex are black; on the hindwings the veins, a spot at the cell- 
end, and the distal margin are black, the proximal margin is broadly snow-white. Expanse of wings: 
40 mm. From Uruhuasi in South Peru. 
H. tolosa Druce (10 1). Black; vertex and collar spotted in a metallic blue; the first abdominal ring tolosa. 
exhibits large white spots, the others show metallic blue subdorsal spots, at their hindmargin there are single, 
interspersed, red-yellow scales; on the ventral side of the 2nd to 4th segments there are indistinct, white trans¬ 
verse bands. The wings are hyaline, faintly yellowish with black veins and distal margins; an orange-yellow 
subcostal stripe and two similar ones separated by black at the proximal margin. Described from Ecuador 
(Intaj). 
H. sahacon Druce (10 1). The velvety-black body is spotted in a metallic blue on the forehead, vertex, sahacon. 
collar, thorax, legs and at the abdomen laterally and sublaterally; the 2nd to 4th abdominal rings exhibit lateral 
orange bands, and the last segment beneath an orange spot. The yellowish hyaline wings have black veins 
and margins, at the base of the forewing there is a blue spot, the bases of the costal- and proximal margins 
are orange-striped. Panama. 
H. staminea spec. nov. (11 a). Body black. On the collar and the shoulder-covers on each side a staminea. 
white, metallic-blue opalescent spot, a similar one in the middle of the metathorax. The first abdominal ring 
exhibits above 4 large white spots, the 2nd and 3rd rings are above unicolorously mealy light-yellow, in another 
S snow-white, beneath black. Ventral valve silvery white, from its lateral margins there emerge dense heaps 
of yellowish-grey woolly threads wrapping up the whole legs. Wings hyaline with narrow black margins and 
veins. The black margin of the hindwing projects proximally like a tooth between the proximal margin and 
vein 1, as well as between this and the lower median vein. Forehips white, hind tibiae white-spotted. One 
male specimen originates from East Colombia (Upper Rio Negro), a second $ from Bolivia (Rio Songo, Fassl). 
H. trizona Dogn. approximates the preceding: body black, palpal base laterally white-spotted, on trizona. 
the shoulder-covers a metallic blue dot, forehips white; the 3 first abdominal segments exhibit fine, light yellow 
rings. The hyaline wings, somewhat milky and blue iridescent, are finely bordered by black, with black veins, 
at the transverse vein broader black, as well as at the proximal angle of the hindwing. Expanse of wings: 
40 mm. Venezuela (Merida). 
H. rodriguezi Druce (10 1) has a velvety-black body with a broadly yellow-curled abdomen: forehips rodriguezi. 
and ventral valve of the white-spotted. The hyaline wings are at the base broadly black, the veins, margins 
and discal band likewise black; on the hindwing the black at the proximal angle expands in two long teeth. 
3 antennae shortly ctenodont. Mexico and Guatemala. 
H. crassa Fldr. (11a) differs from the similar rodriguezi by much narrower yellow abdominal rings, crassa. 
white subdorsal dots on the first two segments, furthermore white dots on the vertex, collar, shoulders and 
in the black base of the forewing; the transverse vein and distal margin are much finer black and the male 
antennae are serrate in the middle, not doubly ctenodont. Costa Rica, Colombia. 
H. stictosoma Druce (11a) has a great likeness to acuminata , but the somewhat more stretched wings stictosoma. 
have a yellowish tinge and orange-yellow costal- and inner-marginal stripes. The black spot at the anal angle 
of the hindwing is much smaller and the apex of the forewing extensively black. Colombia (Muzo). 
H. acuminata Wkr. (= leucostalacta Burm., dalsa Schaus) (11a). The velvety-black body exhibits acuminata. 
on the forehead, collar, shoulders and the 2 first abdominal segments white spots margined by a metallic blue; 
blue spots are also on the head, on the legs and medio-dorsally, also on the abdomen, antennae black with white
