beyond the middle there is at the costal margin a very broad, orange spot being continued to the proximal 
margin as an indistinct transverse band; basal part in the submedian area likewise orange. Hinclwing carmine- 
rosy, with a black apical spot extending narrowly to the anal angle. Collar and shoulder-covers orange. Described 
according to 1 fresh from the Rio Negro (Colombia) Coll. Fassl. 
L. flavipars Hmps. (34 e) is easily recognizable by the carmine hindwings; abdomen carmine. Head 
and thorax orange, striped brown; ventral side and abdominal end yellow. Eorewings blackish-brown, proximal 
margin and a broad postmedian band orange. —- In the form: reducta form. nov. (— ab. 1 Hmps.) (34 e) the 
forewings are preponderantly yellow suffused with scarlet, only a small stripe at the base of the costal margin 
and one on the median at the cell-end being blackish-brown, the apex of the abdomen being black in this form. 
Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Panama; West Colombia. 
L. coccipyga Dogn. (34 h) is distinguished by the uppermost subcostal vein on the forewing terminating 
freely into the costal margin, and on the hindwing by the costal vein coalescing with the subcostal almost to 
the middle of it. Anterior body and wings are blackish-brown, intermixed with scanty silvery-white scales, 
and with a greenish lustre. Abdomen carmine, the apex and underside blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 
16 mm. Curacao. 
L. circitiata Dogn. (34 e) is a very small species with narrow wings. Anterior body and forewings blackish- 
brown, strewn with metallic green scales. Hindwings blackish-brown, towards the base lighter; abdomen 
likewise blackish-brown, the penultimate ring above carmine. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Colombia (Rio Aguaca). 
31. Genus: Asc*septesyle Dyar. 
Proboscis developed; the straightly porrect palpi slightly project beyond the forehead. On the forewing 
the two lower radial veins are longpetioled, the upper one rising from below the upper cell-angle. On the hind- 
wing the middle radial is absent altogether, and the upper radial anastomoses with the subcostal. Differing 
from Lycomorphodes by the uppermost subcostal vein of the forewing running separately; besides, the lowest 
rises more towards the margin than the third from the second, and on the hindwing, the upper median and 
lower radial vein come unpetiolecl out of the lower cell-angle. Only 2 species known with dark forewings and 
purple, dark-margined hindwings. 
A. submarginata Schs. is reddish purple-brown on body and forewings, while the hindwings are carmine 
with a black marginal band. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Trinidad. 
A. purpurascens Hothsch. (34 e) is very similar, of a darker red-brown colour with a purple lustre. 
On the carmine hindwings the marginal band is red-brown and somewhat broader, ascending also at the proximal 
margin. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Peru. 
32. Genus: S®rolol>osIa Hmps. 
Proboscis developed ;p alpi long and slender, erected over the vertex; tibiae with long spurs. Forewing with 
a lobular projection of the costal margin before its middle, behind it with a slight indentation. Veins like in 
Seripha ; but the upper radial vein rises from the upper angle, the 3rd subcostal vein is on a common pedicle 
with the two lower ones, and the uppermost ends separately. Hindwings almost the same as in the preceding, 
but the footstalk of the upper radial with the subcostal vein is much longer. The $ exhibits above on the sub¬ 
median fold a harry cover. Only 1 species: 
P. schistacea Hothsch. (34 e) is unicolorously brownish with a silvery bluish-grey lustre. Expanse 
of wings: 20 mm. Peru. 
33. Genus: UrozaiBia Hmps. 
Very similar to Seripha ; distinguished by much shorter palpi covered by a frontal hair-tuft. Antennae 
not thickened; on the forewing the middle radial vein rises above the lower cell-angle, otherwise the venation 
is exactly the same. The hindwing is extended into a long anal lobe, behind it the wing is somewhat concavely 
indented. Only 1 species: 
U. cordatula Drc. (34 h). Head and thorax black, with a coppery lustre; abdomen orange, on the 
1st and 5t|i rings spotted black, ventral side black. Forewing purple brown, towards the margin striped dark 
green. Hindwing orange-red with a black apical spot. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Guatemala. 
34. Genus: &eri|»!isi Wkr. 
Well characterized by the antennae being somewhat thickened in the middle, and by reverted subdorsal 
hair-tufts on the abdomen. Proboscis well developed, palpi short, porrect; posterior tarsi without any middle 
spurs. On the forewing the two lower radial veins rise from the lower cell-angle, the upper radial from below
