Ch. zoiiata Hmps. (32 m) somewhat resembles ajncalis, but it is tinted more brownish, and the Hans- zonala. 
verse bands are flown together to a very broad, brownish-grey median band bordered by somewhat darker 
lines. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Surinam. 
42. Genus: X^amprostola Hmps. 
Very much like Prepiella. The palpi are longer, erect, the terminal joint pointed. Abdomen with long, 
lateral hair-tufts towards the end. Veins of the forewings like there, but on the hindwing the upper median 
vein and lower radial vein anastomose, the middle radial rising with them from the lower cell-angle. 
L. aglaope Fldr. (= hercyna Drc .) (33 f). Head and thorax black, anal tuft and ventral side likewise aglaope. 
black, the rest of the abdomen is above scarlet. Forewings black, with grey veins. Hindwings scarlet with 
a black costal margin and apical spot being continued as a narrow marginal line to the long-haired proximal 
angle. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Mexico; Guatemala; Costa Rica; Amazon. 
L. thermeola Dogn. (33 f) has much longer and narrower wings than the preceding. Body blackish- thermeola. 
brown with a green reflection; abdomen laterally striped red. Forewings purple-brown, in the basal halves 
with a leaden lustre, in the marginal halves with a golden lustre. Hindwing carmine, with a blackish-brown 
border and proximal margin. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Colombia. 
L. unifascia Rothsch. (33 f). Head blackish-brown with a silvery grey lustre; collar yellowish-red, unifascia. 
thorax dark brown, abdomen above carmine, beneath with yellow and black bands. Forewings dark brown, 
scaled grey, with a yellow antemedian band not reaching the costal margin. Hindwings carmine with a narrow, 
blackish-brown border. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Colombia. 
L. endochrysis Dogn. (33 f) is a pretty, greatly deviating species. Head and thorax black, with a endochry- 
leaden-grey lustre; abdomen blackish-brown, laterally spotted orange. Forewings leaden grey with a velvety- sis - 
black, wedge-shaped spot from the cell-end to the margin; the median and its branches likewise striped black. 
Hindwing blackish-brown, in the proximal half orange-yellow. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Colombia. 
L. pascuala Schs. (33 f) is lighter greyish-brown than the preceding, with a yellow palpal base, throat pascuala. 
and collar, the abdomen being carmine with an orange anal tuft and the ventral side whitish towards the base. 
Forewings with a faint purple reflection. Hindwings carmine, towards the costal margin yellow, in the cell 
with a fine, small hyaline stripe, below it a thick, blackish-brown stripe. Margin black. Expanse of wings: 
20 mm. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
L. olivacea Schs. (34 i). Head, thorax, and forewings silvery greyish-brown, collar and neck orange, olivacea. 
abdomen carmine like the hindwings which are bordered with a brownish grey at the costal margin, with a 
blackish brown at the distal margin. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Sao Paulo. 
L. molybdiptera Schs. (33 f). Anterior body and forewings of a deep black, the latter on the veins molybdi- 
striped blue with a leaden lustre, also the apical third being suffused in the same way. Abdomen and hindwings ptera. 
blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Mexico (Jalapa). 
L. nitens Hmps. (33 f) is distinguished from the other species by the golden green forewings and niiens. 
anterior body; the latter with a coppery reflection. Abdomen and hindwings blackish-brown with a bluish 
tint. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Bolivia. 
43. Genus: Callistheuia Hmps. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus; the palpi are somewhat shorter, the antennae with very 
long bristles and ciliae. On the forewing the upper median vein rises with the lower radial from the lower angle, 
on the hindwing the middle radial somewhat above the lower angle; all the rest as in Lamprostola. The species 
are similarly marked as Prepiella. 
C. plicata Btlr. (34k). The body is golden yellow, on the abdomen above carmine; the collar and plicata. 
ventral segments finely bordered with black. Forewings golden yellow, in the basal and marginal areas on the 
veins striped purple black, in the discal area 2 transverse lines and a red discal .spot. Hindwings carmine with 
a small, black apical spot. The forewing exhibits above in the cell a very thickly scaled fold. Expanse of 
wings: 18 mm. From the Amazon (Espiritu Santo) and Peru. 
C. costilobata Rothsch. (34 k) is well distinguished by the costal margin of the forewing being before costilobata. 
the middle concavely excised and behind it sinuate in the shape of a lobe. The anterior body is light yellow, 
mixed with brown, the abdomen is above red-brown, beneath light yellow. Forewings light yellow, in the 
basal part and marginal area on the veins striped dark brown, leaving a yellow, red spotted transverse band 
free in the disc, which is bordered by dark brown lines, the distal one of which forms a pointed tooth outwards 
on the discal fold. Hindwings carmine, border and proximal margin dark brown. Beneath the fore- and hind¬ 
wings exhibit scent-scale spots. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Peru. 
C. lacteata Btlr. (34-k) is distinguished by thickly strewn, yellowish scales on the hindwing of the ladeata.
