of Ascaptesyle ; the two lower radial veins are either petioled or entirely coalescent; the 3rd subcostal vein rises 
farther towards the margin than the lowest, it may also be absent, and the uppermost anastomoses with the 
costal. On the hindwing the upper median vein is on a common pedicle with the lower radial. Numerous 
species, several of which strongly recall the smaller Correbia- or Correbitlia- species from the family of the Amatids 
(, Syntomidae). 
L. bipartita Wkr. (34 e) differs from the similar forms by a big hair-tuft on the anterior tibiae. bipartita. 
The body is blackish-brown, on the vertex, collar and shordder-covers striped orange; just so is the hairing 
of the abdominal base and of the anal tuft. Forewing bluish-black, in the basal half with an orange-yellow 
longitudinal streak and a distally dentate, light yellow, postmedian transverse band. The hindwing is yellowish 
in the basal half. Expanse of wings: 22 to 24 mm. Amazon. 
L. hemici ocea Dogn. (34 d) is blackish-brown on the body and basal half of the forewing, with a hemicrocea. 
metallic blue lustre, the distal half of the forewing orange-red with a brown longitudinal stripe from the cell-end 
to the margin. Hindwings brownish with a faint blue reflection, towards the costal margin ochreous-yellowish. 
Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Colombia. 
L. tortncina Rothsch. (34 d) has a yellow body, on the collar and shoulder-covers striped brown, iortricina. 
Forewings slightly reddish-yellow, with a reddish-brown, oblique longitudinal stripe near the base, and a discal 
shade being twice interrupted; margin likewise brown. Hindwing yellow, towards the margin brownish. Expanse 
of wings: 22 mm. Trinidad; Venezuela. 
L. suspecta Fldr. (34 d) extremely resembles bipartita, on the body more bluish-black; shoulder- suspecta. 
covers not striped yellow. Hindwings almost quite black. Anterior tibiae without a hair-tuft. Expanse of 
wings: 20 to 22 mm. Brazil (Espiritu Santo, Sao Paulo). 
L. correbioides Schs. (32 m). Body brown mixed with yellow. Forewings yellow with a faded brown correbioi- 
median band and a broad brown margin. Hindwings unicolorously brown. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Costa Rica. 
L. aracia Jones (33 p). Head orange-yellow, on the forehead brown; thorax and abdomen chocolate- aracia. 
brown, on the shoulders striped yellow, anal tuft yellow. Forewings brown with an orange-yellow stripe at 
the base of the costal margin and a narrow, faded, postmedian transverse band which is interrupted on the 
discal fold and forms below it a dentiform projection outwards. Hindwings brown with a grey lustre. Costal 
margin yellowish. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
L. calopteridion Joan. (34 d). Body brownish-black, on the vertex, collar and shoulder-covers striped calopteri- 
yellow. Forewings blackish-brown with an orange-yellow basal half of the costal margin; from the middle 
of the cell to the margin a dark stripe extends. Hindwings blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Brazil 
(Novo Friburgo). 
L. epatra Schs. (34 cl). Body bluish-black, on the vertex and prothorax spotted orange. Forewings cpaira. 
black with a leaden lustre and a short orange stripe at the subcostal base. Hindwings blackish-brown. Expanse 
of wings: 20 mm. French Guiana. 
L. strigosa Btlr. (= fumata Mschlr.) (34 d). Body blackish-brown, on the vertex, collar and thorax sirigosa. 
striped orange. On the orange-yellow forewing the base of the costal margin is striped black, the cell-spaces 
dusted brownish; the marginal third is profusely dusted black, on the two upper radial veins striped orange. 
Hindwings blackish-brown. Antennae particularly thickly scaled. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Porto Rico; Brazil. 
L. sortlida Btlr. (— coccinea Drc .) (34 h) is orange on the head and thorax, on the forehead, collar sordida. 
and shouldqr-covers striped black. Abdomen blackish with a yellow anal tuft. Forewings orange, in the 
marginal third scantily scaled blackish, often in the shape of small dentate spots. Hindwings orange with a 
blackish-brown distal- and proximal-marginal dusting, or also nearly quite darkened by blackish-brown. In 
the $ the yellow colour is more orange-red, on the middle of the costal margin with a bluish-black spot. Expanse 
of wings: $ 20 to 22 mm, $ 26 mm. Distributed from Mexico through Central America as far as Colombia. 
L. dichroa Dogn. (34 e) is reddish-yellow on the head and thorax, forehead and abdomen are blackish, dichroa. 
On the reddish-yellow forewing the marginal area is black with a silvery lustre, the proximal bordering in the 
middle dentate. Hindwings brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Colombia. 
L. bicolor Rothsch. (34 e). Anterior body and forewings are yellow, with a dull orange lustre; forehead, bicolor. 
exterior margin of the collar, tips of the shoulder-covers, and abdomen are brownish-black. The forewing 
exhibits a blackish streak from the cell-end to the margin, which is darker in the $ and runs more obliquely. 
Hindwings blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: £ 16 mm > ? 22 mm. Colombia; Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
L. splendida spec. nov. (34 e) is a magnificent larger species. Forewings and body with a blackish- splendida. 
blue lustre. Median and inner-marginal vein orange-red, the former towards the margin expanded like a wedge;
