408 HALLSIDOTA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
H. ochracea Mschlr. (58 e). Only one $ is known from Surinam. Head and thorax orange, abdomen 
paler. Forewing orange, median area with 4 finely undulated lines; 3 thin postmedian lines are in the costal 
part of the wing clistally curved, then proximally; at the border traces of a series of small tooth-like spots; 
hindwings pale yellow. Expanse: 40 mm. 
H. striata Jones (58 e) is considerably larger than ochracea, head and thorax pale yellow, only the 
abdomen orange with rows of punctiform spots above and laterally. Wings pale bone-white, the forewing at 
the costa and base tinged sulphureous, in the median area numerous, mostly double transverse lines which, 
however, are interrupted at the median. In the apex light small spots surrounded by dark, before the middle 
of the border dark dots, and in the anal angle a dark ring. Hindwings diaphanous dull whitish. Castro (Parana) 
in Brazil. 
H. bipartita Dgn. (58 e) has still broader wings than striata, an ochreous-yellow body and pale bone- 
coloured wings. Forewing scantily strewn with small brown spots, the costal and proximal margins as well as 
a ray proceeding from behind the base to the apex, where it is broken up into spots, wood-coloured. Hindwing 
with a brown apical margin and some spots before the distal margin. Brought by A. H. Fassl from Mt. Tolima 
in Colombia. 
H. falacroides Rothsch. (58 f) somewhat resembles hactris jalacra in its shape. Colouring quite greyish- 
brown, forewing with a dark cell-end dot and large, pointed sagittiform or hook-shaped spots pointing towards 
the base. Hindwing towards the costa lighter. Peru and Ecuador. — affinis Rothsch. (58 f) is perhaps only a 
form of the preceding, in which the arrow-head-like spots are partly shortened, though increased, in addition 
to them white longitudinal spots in the cell and above the proximal margin. Peru. 
H. aurantiaca Rothsch. (58 e). Dirty ochreous-yellow, forewing tinged reddish with numerous, bone- 
coloured cuneiform spots, arranged in oblique rows, in the distal part of which there is mostly a dark dot; 
behind the lower cell-angle a darker streak. The markings are extinct, dull and not easy to recognize. Abdominal 
dorsum black, in the posterior part yolk-coloured. The hindwing in specimens from Colombia and Venezuela 
is blackish, in the costal area light ochreous-yellow, whereas a <$ which is said to originate from Espiritu Santo 
has quite black hindwings. 
H. cedon Drc. {— venezuelensis Rothsch.) (58 f) entirely resembles aurantiaca , but instead of the 
light cuneiform spots there are blackish dots scattered across the forewing. Panama, Venezuela, South Brazil 
and Peru. 
H. vangetta Dyar (58 f). This species peculiarly resembles in its exterior the Noetuid Leucania uni- 
puncta flying in the same district, not only by the shape and colouring, but also by the oblique streak from 
the apex of the forewing, the cell-end mark of all the wings and the dark macular band before the border of 
the hindwing. The under surface is quite unicolorously yellowish dusty grey, only the median dots and oblique 
streaks from the apex of the forewing are indicated by some small dark scales. Hitherto only discovered near 
Misantla in Mexico by Roberto Mueller, from where we figure it. 
H. hadenoides Rothsch. (58 e) also derives its denomination from an exterior resemblance to a Noetuid. 
Quite unicolorously dark brown, the forewing with a blackish dot at the lower cell-angle and dispersed hook- 
and ring-shaped spots. Larger than the preceding. Amazon. 
H. niancina Sch-s. is allied to hadenoides (58 e); body greyish-brown, abdominal dorsum brownish-grey. 
Forewing loam-brown, with some dark brown strewing and lighter shading, forming an irregular antemedian 
band bent outward. Behind the middle a macular row likewise bent outward below the cell, and before the 
border internerval diffuse spots bordered with black. At the cell-end a small yellow spot encircled by black; 
hindwings dark brown with a broad whitish-yellow costal margin. 39 mm. Guatemala (Cayuga). 
H. jonesi Rothsch. (58 e). Size between that of the two preceding, colouring pale ochreous-yellow 
strewn darker, in the cell a dull darker encircled cordiform spot, at the distal cell-angle a spot, in the marginal 
third a subterminal row of ellipses being shaded at the poles. Castro (Parana) in Brazil, discovered by D. Jones. 
H. lurida Ediv. (= otho Brn. <£• Me. D.) (58 f, g). Immediately recognizable by the long-extended 
forewings being particularly pointed in the <$. Thinly scaled, yellowish dusty grey, <$ almost unmarked except 
a fine cell-end dot and a nebulous stripe from the base to the apex, 9 with numerous pale ochreous ellipses 
and hooks. Abdomen in the <$ above blackish. Mexico and Colombia. In its exterior the butterfly somewhat 
resembles certain reed-butterflies; the larva, in any case, lives on reed-like Monocotyledons. 
H. nonagrioides Rothsch. (58 h). The butterfly derives its name from the same resemblance as the 
preceding species. The markings have vanished except quite faint traces consisting of scattered, very indistinct 
cuneiform and oviform spots and fine dark lines on the 3 main veins and the median veins. Hindwings diaphanous 
bone-coloured. Venezuela, South Brazil, and Peru. 
H. sablona Schs. (58 g) has rather the same shape as lurida, but the border of the forewing is somewhat 
straighter, the forewings themselves not quite so pointed. The ochreous brownish-grey forewings are so densely 
strewn with blackish atoms, that only where they are absent, the lighter ground-colour appears in the shape
