D. belae Grote (19 d). Head, collar, and abdomen scarlet; thorax and legs striped black and white, belae. 
The abdomen exhibits dorsally and on the 1st ring laterally small black spots, the 2 valval tufts are black. 
Venter whitish, with black bands. Wings hyaline with black veins and margins. The base of the forewing, 
a discal spot bordered with black, and an antemarginal series of spots in the broadly black distal margin are 
scarlet. In the $ the abdominal spots are larger and the anal apex is black. Expanse of wings: 28—34 mm. 
Florida. 
71. Genus: ISurtia Grote. 
The terminal joint of the erect palpi is porrect. The abdomen exhibits on the first segment lateral 
tubercles, on the last lateral hair-tufts, and in the G very long and hairy clasping-organs. On the forewings 
the lower radial veins rise separately, all the subcostal veins on a joint pedicle; on the hindwings the upper 
median vein rises before the lower cell-angle which sends forth the lower radial veins; the subcostal vein far 
before the upper cell-angle. 
B. cruenta H.-Schdff. (19 d). Vertex, collar, and abdomen carmine; palpi and forehead black and cruenta. 
white. Thorax brown, the shoulder-covers bordered with white; chest and legs striped red and white. Venter 
with a white median stripe, anal tuft partly black. Wings hyaline with black veins, margins, and apical spot; 
at the costal margin a red stripe. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Cuba. 
B. rubella Grote (= cruenta H.-Schdff. pr. p.) (19 d) differs from the preceding by its entirely black rubella. 
anal tuft, and above all by the apical spot of the forewing being filled up with carmine. Likewise found only 
in Cuba. 
72. Genus: Mypoclaclia Hmps. 
It differs from the allied genera, above all by the long and narrow shape of the wings, by which, together 
with the deviating marking, there appear certain resemblances to Chrostosoma. Veins of the forewings as in 
Didasys; on the hindwings the upper median vein and the lower radial vein come from the same place of the 
lower cell-angle, the subcostal and the 1st radial vein in the same way from the upper cell-angle. 
H. militaris Btlr. (19 d). Body brown; spots on the vertex, collar and metathorax, as well as lateral militaris. 
stripes on the abdomen, being broken up into spots, are carmine. Forehips and transverse bands on the ventral 
side white. Forewings brown with whitish stripes in and below the cell, as well as a bent transverse row behind 
the cell. Forewings blackish-brown with diaphanous stripes in, below and behind the cell. Expanse of wings: 
28 mm. Amazon. 
H. parcipuncta Hmps. differs from the preceding by its entirely blackish-brown body exhibiting parci- 
carmine spots on the shoulders and 1st abdominal ring. Venter and base of palpi spotted white. Wings as panda. 
in militaris. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. British Guiana. 
H. restricta Hmps. likewise resembles the preceding. Body blackish-brown, tips of antennae white; restricla. 
vertex and shoulders with carmine spots, as well as the sides of the 2 first abdominal rings, while the rest of 
the abdomen is above black, on the ventral side white, forehips and stripes on the legs white, too. Forewings 
blackish-brown with a purple lustre, with similar hyaline spots as the preceding; the postdiscal ones between 
the upper median and middle radial vein extend far towards the margin. Hindwings black with hyaline spots 
in, below and behind the cell. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Panama. 
H. albipuncta Druce. Body brown. Neck and broad lateral stripes on the abdomen red. Forewings albipuncla. 
i brown, behind the cell with 3 small white spots, at the base of the proximal margin a white blurred spot. 
Hindwings white, bordered with brown. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. South East Peru. 
H. elongata Druce. Anterior body brown, neck and abdominal base yellow. Abdomen above brown, elongata. 
with subdorsal darker spots, laterally and beneath red. Forewings dark-brown with lighter veins; behind the 
cell there is a broad, brownish-white oblicpie spot extending from the costal to the distal margin. At the base of the 
cell a greyish-white stripe, in the middle 2 dots. Hindwings diaphanous white, bordered with brown. Expanse 
of wings: 46 mm. Venezuela. 
H. calita Dogn. Head blackish; base of palpi and 1st joint of antennae rosy, vertex yellow. Collar calita. 
and shoulder-covers white with black spots. Abdomen above yellow, from the 3rd to 7th rings above spotted 
black, on the following rings banded black; at the sides a row of black dots; venter, hips, inner side of femora, 
ankles and tarsi rosy, legs otherwise grey. Forewings of a pure white, on the veins and margins grey with black 
spots between the veins in transverse rows near the base, before the middle, at the cell-end, creating the impres¬ 
sion of a large, oval, postdiscal transverse spot, behind it a short row from the costa to the middle radial vein, 
as well as a row before the margin. Hindwings white, bordered with brown, at the proximal margin yellowish. 
Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Colombia.
