H. oslari Barnes. <$. Forewing light yellow brown suffused with darker brown, lines black; basal 
line distinct; antemedial line distinct, outcurved; postmedial line crenulate, oblique to beyond cell, then 
incurved to inner margin inwardly preceded by a blackish shade on costal half; termen with three black dashes 
opposite cell; a white spot near angle; reniform surrounded by a ring of blackish scales. Hindwing blackish brown 
like darker shades of forewing. Colorado. 
H. pseudotsugata B. <£• McD. (72 b). <$. Forewing verona brown, thickly irrorated with whitish 
scales giving an iron grey tone to the wing; lines black, the antemedial straight or somewhat outbent on 
inner margin, the postmedial outcurved around cell, incurved above inner margin; dark terminal streaks 
between veins beyond cell; a white curved spot above inner angle. Hindwing snuff brown, the termen broadly 
dark shaded. California. 
H. definita Pack. (72 b). $. Forewing mouse grey, suffused with fuscous, the lines black; a distinct 
dark subbasal line; antemedial line sinuous accompanied by a broad dark shade on costal half; postmedial

shading at apex. Tuis, Juan Villas, Costa Rica.

H. povera Schs. (72 b). Closely allied to H. coresia Drc. <$■ Larger, the body and hindwing buffy
