104 HALISIDOTA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
mens. — In specimens which 1 took at Montevideo, corresponding to such described by Rothschild from 
Peru, the inner-marginal stripe is absent, the forewings and above all the abdominal dorsum are quite pale 
yellow; this is pallida Rothsch. ■— In tucumana Rothsch. from North West Argentina, on the reverse,the brown 
inner-marginal streak is short, but strong and dark, and the distal oblique streak in the forewing is broad. 
Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Peiu. 
H. distincta Rothsch. (57 g). Considerably larger, the undulate transverse lines of the forewings numerous 
and mostly distinct, a median and mostly also a subbasal, nebulous transverse stripe of the forewing distinct, 
into the middle of the thick, deep brown inner-marginal stripe a small, bone-coloured longitudinal spot is embedded. 
From the preceding it differs by deep-brown marginal dots of the forewing. From Venezuela and Colombia, 
particularly common on Mount Tolima. — brunnescens Rothsch. from Peru differs by a more reddish tinge 
and more expanded brown markings. 
H. major Rothsch. (57 h). Considerably smaller than the preceding, owes its name only to the resem¬ 
blance to walkeri to which it was at first added as a larger form of it. Like in walkeri , there is here no distinct 
inner-marginal streak of the forewing; the red-brown undulate lines are distinct and very uniform, and of the 
transverse shades mostly only that directly behind the middle is distinct. Widely distributed, from Costa Rica 
through Colombia, Venezuela to Brazil and Peru. 
H. alsus Cr. (= pectina Schaus) (57 h) is immediately recognizable by the very long-pinnated 
antennae, otherwise in the marking very much like the preceding, but the transverse shades in the forewing 
are broader, the proximal one being angled on the median, touching at the proximal margin a dentate line 
which is not angled on the median. The distal transverse shade brown, on both margins worn out, intermixed 
with small yellow spots and a small, white vitreous spot at the lower cell-angle. Hindwings quite pale yellowish- 
white. Mexico and Central America through Colombia and Venezuela to Ecuador and Peru. 
H. sobrina Mschlr. (— modest a Ky., laropia Drc.. laoripa Dgn.) (57 h). Very much like the preceding, 
but the $ with narrower wings, the forewings without any real transverse bands, only before the middle of 
the cell there is a large, brown costal spot, and another interrupted or sand-glass shaped spot at the cell-end. 
The species is recognizable by a longish, reddish-yellow scent-pad on the forewing beneath covering the whole 
cell as far as the lower cell-angle. From Costa Rica through the northern parts of South America as far as 
Bolivia and Peru. 
H. eudolobota Hmps. Above quite similar to the preceding species, in its size and yellow colouring 
like sobrina, but the dark spots at the costa and cell-end less prominent and the single waves of the undulate 
lines not so coherent. Immediately recognizable by 2 liairlocks at the sides of the abdominal base in the <J, 
as well as by a dense scent-fur occupying the whole submedian space of the hindwing beneath. From the Upper 
Amazon. 
H. atrimaculata Hmps. (57 i). Similar to the preceding, but along the costa and proximal margin 
of the pale yellow forewing there are single, scattered, thick, blackish-brown spots, like in the cell, and at the 
margin there are thick marginal dots. From Venezuela to South Brazil and Peru. 
H. dognini Rothsch. (57 k) is unicolorously yellow, the hindwings lighter, forewings and patagia with 
small black dots. Besides there is in the cell of the forewing an angular, at the cell-end an interrupted spot 
and from the latter to the proximal margin behind the middle a row of dark striae. Peru. 
H. endrolepia Dgn. (= androlepia Hmps., sobrinoides Rothsch.) (57 h) approximates atrimaculata, 
but the is without the thick dark spots, pale yellow and very finely marked: forewings of the $ coarsely 
strewn dark. From Guiana, Trinidad, and Venezuela to Bolivia and Peru. 
H. maroniensis Sells. (= bucliwaldi Rothsch.) (57 h). Smaller than endrolepia, the forewings without 
the coarse dark strewing of the $ of endrolepia, the transverse lines, however, perticularly in the median area, 
are distinct and coherent; at the margin faint marginal dots. Guiana and Amazon. 
H. cyclozonata Hmps. (57 i) differs from the preceding by the antemedian dark band running thick 
and twice interrupted through the forewing, and by the distal part of the forewing showing a violettish-grey, 
cloudy darkening, in which the yellow ground-colour is only yet left in single yellow, partly red-pupil led, small 
guttiform spots. Guiana through the Amazon District to Ecuador and Peru. 
H. grand is Rothsch. (57 i) differs from cyclozonata chiefly only by the small red-pupilled spots in 
the distal part of the forewing being arranged to transverse rows. Costa Rica to Peru. — This form, according 
to Hampson, might be an aberrative form of the preceding, like sannionis (57 h) which was described as Baritius 
and, therefore, also dealt with at large by us on p. 332. 
H. lactogrisea Rothsch. (57 i). Considerably larger than the preceding, the forewing light yellow 7 , 
strewn with golden yellow 7 , the small golden yellow spots with dark borders and arranged to an antemedian 
band as well as a submarginal row of spots. In the disc 2 dark cloudy spots, at the cell-end and in the sub- 
median space. Venezuela.
