the costa a red-brown stripe to the centre of the cell, a reddish line from the centre of the hind-margin to 
the apex, at the distal margin expanded, a black transverse band to the tornus. Hindwing with a black 
distal-marginal band filled up with red-brown. All the veins black. Expanse of wings: 70 mm. Ecuador. (Was 
not at hand.) 
H. lauronoides sp. n. (65 b). Body black, head and collar with white dots, patagia red-brown, end 
of thorax and abdomen above with two bluish-white subdorsal lines, beneath white. Forewing whitish hyaline, 
the margins and a broad transverse band to the tornus black, the veins in both wings broadly black. Costa 
of forewing with an orange-red stripe, somewhat interrupted before the transverse band, a similar stripe from 
the centre of the hind-margin to the centre of the distal margin bent at the tornus, extending to the hyaline 
subapical spot. Hindwing hyaline white, with a broad reddish-yellow distal-marginal band which is bordered 
with black on both sides. Costa black. From the similar species comprised under Lauron it is distinguished 
by the less convex distal margin of the forewing, type from Massauary in the Berlin Museum. 
The following species with a relatively broader transverse band of the forewing were hitherto mostly designated as 
Lauron ( Laurona) Wkr. They strikingly resemble certain Dioptids, and some of the species which I was unable to examine 
may prove to be Dioptids. The colours of the body are often difficult to recognise in specimens belonging to collections. The 
abdomen is above almost invariably blackish with greyish-blue subdorsal lines, beneath whitish, with a black median line. — 
They copy Erycinids and Danaidids ( Leucothyris and others). 
H. syma Wkr. (65 e). Thorax black, patagia red-brown. Wings greyish hyaline, apical part of fore¬ 
wing black, with a white subapical band not reaching to the margins, its veins being white. Margins of hind¬ 
wing and all the veins black. •— Its extremest form is f. flammicollis Dgn. (= albiplaga Schs.) (65 e). Wings 
quite black, with a blue reflection, not hyaline, the white subapical band short and broad. It particularly 
occurs in the 3 and is connected with the type by all kinds of transitions. Brazil. 
H. leucophaea Wkr. (= osiba Drc.) (65 c). Thorax blackish-brown, patagia red-brown. Ground-colour 
of the wings in the 3 hyaline white, in the $ quite dark greyish hyaline, veins black. Forewing with a black 
costal margin and hind-margin and apical half, the latter with a white subapical band in which the hindmost 
vein is dark at most. At the costal margin and hind-margin an orange longitudinal streak to the subapical 
band; the hind-marginal stripe is often shortened. Analis white. Hindwing with a black margin being at most 
partly filled up with reddish-yellow. Venezuela, Brazil, Peru. 
H. partita Wkr. (= transita Mschlr.) (65 d) is quite similar to leucophaea, in the forewing the analis 
is black, the subapical band is veined black, at least two veins black. Hiiuhving frequently with a reddish- 
brown filling of the marginal band, the hyaline areas of the $ are much more transparent, less greyish. Range 
like in leucophaea, perhaps only a form of it. It copies the Erycinid Esthemopsis lithosina Bat. (Vol. V, pi. 128 b). 
H. peritta sp. n. is quite similar to partita, but the margin of the hindwing is here quite black, strongly 
expanded at the anal angle and continued to the base. Costa of forewing only before the transverse band 
with a yellow spot, costa basally to it whitish. Anal vein white. Venezuela, Brazil. $ type from Bahia in 
the Berlin Museum. 
H. sora Bsd. (= panamensis Btlr., domingonis Btlr.) (65 d) is similar to the two preceding species, 
the subapical band of the forewing almost reaches the margins of the wings, without black veins, margin of 
hindwing much narrower, quite black, analis of forewing black, costal stripe and hind-marginal stripe red- 
brown, a similar stripe proximally to the subapical band in the 3- Wings in the $ as greyish hyaline as in 
partita. Mexico to Panama. 
H. leucophlebia sp. n. (65 e) is separated from sora ; and soroides by the white analis and broader, quite 
black margins of the hindwing in the 3 '- the $ has only a linear costal stripe, subapical band at least with 
one black vein, shorter; partita have a reddish-yellow filling of the band in the hindwing, which is absent 
here, leucophaea has in the $ darker hyaline wings. In the 3 a red-brown postdiscal band and apical area 
which are absent in the $. Thorax black. Massauary, Itaituba. 3 $ type from Massauary in the Berlin Mu¬ 
seum, from Venezuela in the Tring Museum. 
H. soroides sp. n. (65 e) is separated from sora by the following marks: in the 3 the distal margin of 
the hindwing with reddish-yellow filling at the anal angle, the same being the case in the $ which also shows 
a reddish-yellow band before the white subapical band. Also at the apex of the forewing' in the 3 and $ 
mostly dusted with reddish-yellow. Mexico to Colombia, d? types from Chiriqui in the Berlin Museum. 
H. halizoa Drc. Forewing reddish-orange, near the base hyaline, veins black, a subapical band of fine 
spots white; hindwing hyaline brownish-black, both wings beneath brownish-black, costal margin of forewing 
reddish-orange. Jamaica. 
H. vinosa Drury (= ergolis Wkr., horologica Goeze) (65 e) is similar to soroides, but the thorax is quite 
red-brown, the hyaline areas of the wings in both sexes darker. West Indies. 
H. rica Hhn. (65 f). Thorax quite reddish-yellow, wings still darker, scarcely hyaline. Forewing with 
reddish-yellow stripes only at the costal margin and hind-margin. Venezuela, West Indies.
