H. rhoda Hmps. (59 g) and the following species already approach the next genera into which the 
genus Halisidota passes over without a distinct delimitation, rhoda is quite purple brown, the forewings with 
a dark cover and veins, the abdomen yellowish-red with dorsal black transverse veins. Bolivia. 
H. arenacea Schs. (59 h). Body yolk-coloured, forehead and metathorax light yellow, patagia with 
a black shoulder-dot. Wings somewhat diaphanous whitish-grey. Forewings with broad orange-yellow margins. 
Ecuador. 
H. semivitrea Dgn. (59 i) resembles arenacea , but the wings are yellowish, almost hyaline, only the 
costal and proximal margins faintly honey-coloured; the shoulder-dots on the patagia are absent. Peru. 
H. agramma Dgn. (59 i). Thorax and forewings yellowish dusty-grey strewn with small black scales. 
Head, costal and proximal margins honey-coloured; abdomen and hindwings dull white, the costal margin of the 
hindwing beneath tinged reddish-brown. Colombia and Peru. 
H. montana Schs. (59 i). Body and wings pale honey-coloured, thorax and abdomen above marked 
ochreous; forewing with a small dark spot at the cell-end, the costal and proximal margins tinted ochreous. 
Costa Rica. 
H. labaca Drc. (59 h). Body and wings pale honey-coloured, at the costal margin, at the apical part of 
ih eborder, and at the proximal margin brown spots which are much larger in the $ and sometimes form bands 
parallel to the border, sometimes also a dot at the cell-end. Mexico. 
H. flavescens Rothsch. (nee Wkr.) (59 i). Pale honey-coloured, body and forewings densely covered 
with a fiery reddish yelloAv, like the pale yellowish-pink hindwings without any real marking, only the veins 
somewhat more prominent. In the southern parts of New Mexico; apparently only 1 specimen known, which 
is in the Tring Museum. Presumably very closely allied to the folloAving. 
H. margona Schs. (59 i). This species connects the labaca- group with the Halisidota from the group 
of sobrina-distincta etc. Body and wings of a bright yelloAv, head, thorax and foreAvings marked red with rings, 
chains and undulations on the forewings; in the the marking is often so fine that it cannot be Avell reproduced 
in the figure; distinct are only a dark dot at the cell-end and an inner-marginal stripe. Hindwings lighter and 
faintly diaphanous. Mexico, in some places not rare. 
H. anaplieoides Rothsch. (59 h) is denominated oAving to its superficial resemblance to African Anaphe. 
Pale honey-coloured, body and margins of forewings reddish-yelloAV, bice the veins on the forewing, and very 
faint traces of a submarginal stripe. From the Chiriqui in Panama. 
H. rufocinnamomea Rothsch. (59 li) is like the preceding species, but the forewing somewhat duller 
and more diaphanous and Avithout the red-yellow veins. Peru. 
H. iridescens Schs. (59 h). Quite pale yellow, the wings diaphanous, Avith a black clot behind the cell 
of the forewing and one before the middle of the border on the hind wing. Thorax tinged yolk-coloured. The 
Avings exhibit a greasy silky lustre. Venezuela, Peru. 
H. pallida Schs. (59 i). Here the wings are also diaphanous, cpiite thinly scaled, but dull yelloAvish-grey. 
Body brown, tinged yellowish; on the patagia 2 shoulder-dots, on the abdomen black lateral dots. Ecuador, 
Peru and Bolivia. 
H. ordinaria Schs. (59 h). Much more densely scaled than the preceding, foreAvings dark red-brown, 
like the thorax, hindwings diaphanous whitish-yelloAv, abdomen posteriorly yolk-coloured, beside the lateral 
dots also transverse spots on the dorsum of the abdomen. From Petropolis in the Organ Mountains. 
H. melanoproctis Hmps. (49 a). Body dark broAvn, head and prothorax reddish-yellow, forehead 
white; abdomen posteriorly white-haired. Wings hyaline, only the marginal area of the forewing dark broAvn 
aa ith a subterminal chain of orange-red crescents. Costal and proximal margins of all the wings tinged yellowish- 
red. From Peru. 
H. picata Rothsch. (49 a). Size and shape of the preceding, but the body quite whitish, on the patagia 
and abdominal end marked dark. Forewdng diaphanous whitish, only beyond the middle, the apical half and 
the proximal margin broadly suffused Avith brown; a Avliite, antemarginal undulate line: the border behind it 
broadly rusty-red. Peru. 
H. ockendeni Rothsch. (49 a). Size and shape of the preceding, but the hyaline foreAving in the distal 
half speckled blackish-broAvn, border tinged yelloAv. Abdomen yolk-coloured. Peru. 
H. leria Drc. (49 a). Thorax brown, abdomen blackish. Forewings thinly scaled, grey, at the base 
and margins suffused Avith a brownish yellow, all over streA\n Avith black atoms. An antemarginal chain of 
light crescents, the border behind it yolk-colourecl. Hindwings dirty diaphanous white. Ecuador. 
H. semifulva Drc. (49 a). Body whitish, forewings hyaline dull white, distal half suffused Avith grey, 
a broad, light yelloAA’ marginal band is proximally defined in small arches against the dark colour of the Aving; 
at the border dark vein-dots. Peru.
