H. stipulatoides Rothsch. (57 i). Forewing pale yellow, in the proximal part, particularly at the costal 
and proximal margins, of a bright golden yellow tinge. The small dark spots are small and faded in the basal 
and median areas, larger antemarginal nebulous spots are at the costa, behind the lower cell-angle and above 
the proximal margin; right through the marginal area extends a curved row of proximally pointed sagittiform 
spots. From Guiana through Venezuela and the Amazon District to Peru. 
H. liialodonta Dyar (57 i). Size and shape of Icictogrisea, but the dark markings of the forewing are 
quite scanty and faded except an antemarginal row of brown ellipses. Body and principal veins of the forewings 
of an orange-red tinge. From Huadquina in Peru. 
H. nebulosa Rotlisch. (57 i). Smaller, of a paler yellow, the dark undulate lines in the forewing entangled, 
on the median a brown streak, continued to the apex; an antemarginal row of small dark rings, Amazon, 
Ecuador and Peru. 
H. Iongipennis Dgn. (57 i). The dark markings on the pale yellow forewing are arranged in longi¬ 
tudinal rows extending through the cell and along the submedian. An antemarginal, interrupted chain of faded 
rings, at the border a row of dots. From Yungas de la Paz in Bolivia. 
H. pulverea Schs. (57 k). This apparently rare species approximates stipulatoides (57 i), of which it 
has the orange body, costal margin and border of the forewing; the latter otherwise exhibits only dull grey 
punctiform spots divided in irregular groups. South Brazil (Rio, Castro). 
H. perdita Schs. is allied to pulverea (57 k). Collar and thorax ochreous-brown, abdominal dorsum 
dull brown. Forewings dull yellowish, darkly strewn, indistinct lines; a line from the costa near the base, below 
the cell well bent out and rounded off; a less distinct line as far as vein 2 and connected with the first above 
the submedian by a denser strewing. A double, dentate postmedian chain of small crescents; an antemarginal, 
deeply angled line; the angle marked at the proximal side by black dots; black marginal vein-dots; a thick 
black dot at the cell-end, from which a faint dark line extends to the apex. On the hindwing the space below 
the cell and from vein 2 to the proximal margin smoky-grey. 42 mm. Guatemala (Cayuga). 
H. liparoides Rothsch. (57 k). Forewing similar as in the preceding except in the median area some 
larger, narrowing dark spots, but easily recognizable by a chain of 4 large brown spots before the anal part 
of the border of the hindwing. Also the abdominal end shows black dorsal dots on an orange ground. Guiana, 
Amazon, Peru. 
H. contempta Rothsch. (57 k). In this small, pale yellow species with a slim body the only markings 
consist of some small, obsolete dark dots before the border of the forewing and in the disc, and a nebulous, 
diffuse spot on the submedian. From Fonte Boa (Amazon). 
H. ninibiscripta Dyar (= pseudofalacra Rothsch.) (57 k). Unicolorously pale bone-coloured, the 
forewings intermixed only with single, small black scales grouped to a pale basal ray on the median, some few 
ellipses in the cell and a black middle clot at the lower cell-angle. Mexico and Nicaragua. 
H. cirphis Schs. (57 k) approaches the preceding, but beside the basal ray and cell-end dot the fore¬ 
wings are also strewn with other dark brown dots; besides the abdominal dorsum is blackish-brown, except 
the yellow end. Costa Rica. 
H. deniocrata Schs. $. Booty pale ochreous, the patagia anteriorly with a black dot. Forewings 
whitish-yellow, a slightly darker strewing forms rather indistinct markings; an antemedian undulate line in the 
cell bent out about in the middle of it, then bent into the submedian; above and below the cell-end some 
shading; at the cell-end a small dark spot; a postmedian interrupted line and a marginal undulate line. 
Guatemala (Cayuga). 40 mm. — The description neither mentions, where the species is to be inserted, nor 
does it compare it with a well-known species. 
H. leucanina Fldr. (— infucata Berg, phellia Drc.) (57 k). Forewings dull ochreous-yellow, sometimes 
tinted grey or brownish, little marked, intermixed with single, small blackish scales, only one intense, sometimes 
light-centred dot at the loiver cell-angle being blackish-brown. At the border a series of very fine ellipses, the 
proximal part of which is filled up by a brown dot. Abdominal dorsum blackish-brown, the apex pale yellow. 
Colombia through Brazil to Ecuador and Argentina. 
H. bactris Sepp (= lurideoides Rothsch.). This rather widely distributed species resembles a large 
Leucania in the shape of the forewings by the curved border and the somewhat projecting apex. It is easily 
recognizable by the long antennae provided with very long teeth, the dark grey abdominal dorsum and the 
hindwing being sometimes quite blackish-grey in the anal half. The marking of the wings is very inconstant.
