H. grotei Schs. (58 c). This peculiar insular form is unmistakable. Through the remarkably broad, grolei. 
pale bone-coloured forewing runs an indistinctly defined, somewhat fuzzy postmedian band, and 2 similar demi- 
bands extend from the costa, where they bifurcate, to the lower cell-wall. Hindwings with small, dark, ante- 
marginal diffuse spots. Cuba. 
H. subterranea Rothsch. (58 c) is allied to bactris, and like leucanina (57 k) being allied to bactris, miblerranra. 
it has an antemarginal row of small ellipses. The median area is brightly shaded with brown and intermixed 
with numerous small, whitish and dark brown spots; the whole hindwing, except the cell and the part behind 
it, is brown like the dorsum of the abdomen. Peru. 
H. notodontina Rothsch. (58 d) is larger, the forewing more intensely shaded with brown, particularly noiodonti- 
the whole costal-marginal area dull greyish-brown; the hindwing is in the costal-marginal area white, the 
proximal half yellow, the marginal part brown, enclosing some yellow marginal spots. Peru. 
H. racenia Schs. (58 c). Yellow, forehead and mesothorax brown. Forewing bright yellow with a racema. 
brown longitudinal stripe and many small striae at the costal margin, another brown longitudinal stripe extends 
from the cell-end towards the apex as a continuation of the median, another longitudinal diffuse spot in the 
submedian space. In the marginal third many brown, hook-shaped spots forming 3 transverse rows. Guiana. 
H. subfasciata Rothsch. (58 d). Forewings quite pale yellow, traversed by 5 irregular, yellowish-grey suhfascmta. 
transverse bands which are more distinct and broader in the costal part, but narrower and duller in the proximal 
part; their course is rather irregular. Hindwings white. Paraguay. 
H. huaco Schs. (58 c). Body and wings dull greyish-brown, forewing with a broad, curved postmedian Imam. 
nebulous stripe and dark subterminal dots, hindwing with a lighter costal part and white antemarginal bosses. 
South Brazil (Rio, Castro). 
H. moeschieri Rothsch. (58 c). Forewing traversed by irregular, dentate dark transverse bands, moeschleri. 
between which there are undulate or dentate lines, similar as in subfasciata, but the ground-colour is a bright 
red-brown. Jamaica. 
H. squalida H.-Schdff. (58c). Also here the yellowish red-brown forewing is crossed by transverse squaUda. 
catenary stripes of crescents bordered dark: near the base, in and behind the middle as well as before the margin. 
South Brazil and Bolivia. 
H. lua Dxyar (58 c). Size and shape similar to the preceding, but only the postmedian and antemarginal hi a. 
catenary stripes are complete; the one in the middle is only indicated by some rings. Hindwing with a dark 
discal luna and a subterminal dark distal band. Beneath all the wings show a light ring-spot in the cell-end, 
and the light yellowish-grey macular chains beautifully contrast with the dark ground-colour. Femora and 
tibiae are covered with dense and long hair. Discovered by Roberto Mueller in Zacualpan. 
H. fuscosa Jones (58 d). A small species recognizable by the variegated thorax, the brown forewing fuscosn> 
mixed with red, and the black hindwing which is narrowly yellow only at the costal margin. Head orange, 
collar yellow, patagia with a black shoulder-dot, forewing with red spots on the blackish-brown ground, along 
the costal margin, proximal margin, and border. South Brazil. 
H. sthenia Hmps. (58 d). Dark yellowish-brown, forewing with light spots bordered dark, along sthcnia. 
the costal margin and before the border, and 2 larger ones in the middle and at the end of the cell of the forewing; 
at the proximal margin small dark spots. Hindwing diaphanous light grey, towards the apex brownish. Rio 
Sohgo. 
i 
H. umbrosa Hnvps. (58 d). Larger, dark nut-brown, forewing only with few punctiform spots round umbrosa. 
the cell-end and before the border, of which only the apical ones are distinct and dark. Hindwing towards the 
margin still darker brown with a blackish discal spot. South Brazil. 
H. interstriata Hmps. (58 d). Small, body dark brown, forehead yellowish-white. Forewing light intersiriata. 
greyish-brown, the margins suffused with yellow. In the middle of the cell, in the cell-end and below the cell 
whitish diffuse spots. Hindwings dull diaphanous white. South Brazil. 
H. acuta Hmps. (58 d) is much larger than the preceding, forewings greyish brown, the margins acuta. 
intensely yellow; unmarked except an antemarginal, rather irregular row of dots. Hindwings similar, greyer, 
the subterminal dots somewhat larger, forming a large hook at the end of the submedian fold. South Brazil. 
H. setosa Rothsch. (58 e). One of the smallest species of the genus, quite bone-white with cloudy set am. 
brown darkenings along the costa, in the median area and at the border of the forewings, and a black dot encircled 
light at the cell-end. In the hindwing the apex, a small antemarginal spot and the inner-marginal area, are 
brownish. Abdominal dorsum yolk-coloured except the whitish apex. Peru.
