though the head, collar, and shoulder-covers are carmine and the postmedian spots both separated. The hind- 
wings are red, turning yellow towards the apex. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Paraguay. 
I. flagrans Hmps. (32 n) Head and thorax deep orange. Forehead and shoulder-covers black, abdomen 
pink. Forewing blackish-brown with an orange-yellow inner-marginal band being expanded to a conical spot 
near the proximal angle. Hindwing yellowish-scarlet with a broad marginal band. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. 
Argentina. 
1. calochroma Snell. (33 c) somewhat resembles biota in its colours and scheme of markings, but 
the light yellow stripe is not situate on the submedian fold, but along the proximal margin, and terminates 
rather abruptly before the anal angle. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Argentina. 
I. rhodocraspis Hmps. (32 n) has quite unicolorously greyish-brown forewings, only the extreme 
costal margin being narrowly red. Head and thorax greyish-brown; palpi, collar, chest and the greatest part 
of the legs carmine like the abdomen. Marginal band of the hindwing narrow. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. 
Argentina. 
1. minuta Btlr. (33 c) entirely resembles biota, but it has a much more extensive apical spot of the 
hindwing, and the submedian streak of the forewing does not grow narrower towards the margin. Expanse 
of wings: 16 mm. Colombia. 
I. griseola Rothsch. (33 c) is brownish-white on the head and thorax; the collar is carmine-rosy like 
the abdomen. The forewings are brownish-white, towards the proximal margin of a purer brown. Hindwings 
carmine with a greyish-brown marginal band. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Minas Geraes). 
I. bisigna Berg (33 c). Anterior body and ventral side are brownish-grey, mixed with white, collar 
yellow, abdomen carmine. Forewings brownish-grey, strewn white with 2 white postmedian spots at the 
costal and proximal margins. Hindwings pink with a grey marginal band. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Patagonia. 
I. plumbea Stretch. (33 c). Anterior body and forewings brownish-grey, dusted white; the latter with 
a triangular white spot near the proximal angle. Abdomen carmine, beneath grey. Hindwings brownish-grey 
with a red spot in the inner-marginal half. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Texas. 
I. rubricollis Schs. (33 c) has unicolorously dull olive-brown forewings, the hindwings as in plumbea. 
The anterior body is blackish-brown; collar and abdomen carmine. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. French Guiana. 
I. tyres Drc. (33 c). Anterior body and forewings grey, strewn with black, abdomen pink. Forewing 
with a black antemedian line between the cell and proximal margin, forming an angle on the inner-marginal 
vein; a postmedian, irregular, white band, being on both sides dentate below the costal margin, and towards 
the proximal margin proximally faded; before the margin darker nebulous spots. Hindwing pink with a black 
apical spot. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Guatemala, Nicaragua. 
I. ditrigona Schs. (33 cl). Body orange with bluish-black spots on the forehead, shoulders and thorax. 
Forewings orange, densely strewn with a purple brown, with 2 orange longitudinal stripes in the basal part, 
and 2 triangular, postmedian spots almost touching each other. Hindwing orange with a black apical spot. In 
the $ the ground-colour is darker, the stripes and spots lighter yellow, the latter more separated. Expanse 
of wings: 20 mm. Brazil (Novo Friburgo). 
1. blanda Jones (32 n) is somewhat similar, but the head and thorax are chocolate-brown, only the 
vertex, ends of shoulder-covers, and metathorax are yellow. On the forewing, in the basal part, there is a large, 
golden-yellow spot, the postmedian spots are united to a transverse band. Hindwings like in ditrigona. Expanse 
of wings: 22 mm. Brazil (Santos). 
I. lycomorphodes spec. nov. (33 d) has a black body and forewing, the latter particularly in the 
marginal area strewn with scales of a silvery blue; at the base of the costal margin a deep-yellow spot, and 
behind the middle, a similar transverse band projecting in the middle pointedly towards the margin. Hindwing 
yellow with a black marginal band. Legs black with a whitish first tarsal joint. Described according to a 
from the Rio Songo (Bolivia) from the Coll. Fassl. 
I. persimilis Hmps. (33 c). Head, collar, and spots on the shoulder-covers are yellowish-white, forehead 
and thorax purple brown. Underside and abdomen yellow like the hindwings, the latter with a small brown 
apical spot. Forewings purple brown with 3 yellowish-white spots: in the $ the posterior spot of the costal 
margin is absent, and the under surface is dusted red. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
I. eryptopyra Hmps. (33 cl) differs from persimilis by its orange-yellow head and collar, with red 
abdomen and hindwings, the latter with black fringes. The forewings are marked the same, though more orange. 
Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Brazil. 
I. triplagiata Rothsch. (33 d) likewise greatly resembles the preceding, but the head and thorax are 
yellowish-white, on the forehead and metathorax spotted black. Abdomen above red, beneath yellow. The 
forewings exhibit a slight grey lustre, and the yellowish-white spots are bordered with black. Hindwing with 
a black apical spot. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Mexico.
