I. subrubra Schs. (32 n) is unicolorously olive-brown on the anterior body and forewings; palpi, subrubra.

apical spot. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. French Guiana.

in the middle; along the base of the proximal margin there is a broad whitish spot. Hindwings yellowish-pink 
with a blackish apical spot. Abdomen carmine. Expanse of wings: 12 mm. French Guiana. 
I. rosacea Schs. (34 i) initiates the species in which the anal angle of the hindwing is not extended, rosacea. 
Distinguished by long hair-tufts on the last abdominal rings and very easily recognizable by the carmine-rosy 
forewings being dusted brownish-grey only towards the proximal margin. Anterior body grey, collar and abdomen 
carmine. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
I. subjecta Wkr. (33 b). Head and thorax blackish-brown; vertex, collar and shoulder-covers partly subjecta. 
carmine like the upperside of the abdomen; the latter beneath brown. Forewing blackish-brown with a carmine 
submedian fold and proximal margin as far as the large, red, inner-marginal spot beyond the middle; costal 
margin likewise pink as far as a small postmedian spot. -—- In forma: packardii Grt. this latter spot is much packardii. 
larger and round. Hindwing carmine with a blackish-brown apical spot. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Widely 
distributed in the United States from New York to Texas. •— The larva is grey, watered black, with a white 
spotted band across the dorsum, and a black, undulate lateral line; blackish hairs on orange tubercles. It 
lives on lichens of oaks from October to April. 
I. xanthospila Hmps. Thorax and forewings brown, head, collar, shoulder-covers, and abdomen xanthos- 
carmine. At the proximal margin of the forewing an orange longitudinal band being confluent with the post- P^ a ’ 
median spot; at the costal margin behind the middle a second spot. Hindwings likewise brown, with a red 
base. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Brazil. 
1. injecta Dyar (33b) differs from the other species by a yellow costal-marginal streak; the slate- injeeta. 
coloured forewing exhibits besides a triangular inner-angular spot which is connected with an inner-marginal 
spot extending as far as the base. Anterior body yellow, or pink, on the thorax mixed with grey. Abdomen 
and hindwings pink, the latter with a grey apical spot. —f. gamma Dyar is without the yellow costal-marginal gamma. 
streak, and has a broader marginal band of the hindwing. Expanse of wings: 18 to 22 mm. North America. 
1. striata Ottolengui (33 b) is a larger species, with grey forewings being lighter striped in the cell-spaces; striata. 
costal and proximal margins narrowly pink, on the latter beyond the middle a small spot. Anterior body brownish- 
grey; neck, ends of shoulder-covers, and abdomen pink like the hindwings; the latter show a large, brownish- 
grey apical spot which, however, may also be very much smaller, f. costimacula nom. nov. {= ab. 2 Hmps.) costima- 
exhibits besides a wedge-shaped costal-marginal spot. Expanse of wings: 20 to 26 mm. Florida, Colorado.
