band of the hindwing is narrower. The hair-pencil beneath seems to be broader and as yellow in its basal half 
as in orythea. Ecuador. 
C. orythea Gr. (= d’Urville Latr., hysudrus Hpff. pro parte). The species is already characterized by orythea. 
the differences stated in difficilis. The $ may exceptionally also have a notch inside at the transverse band, 
and the blue band on the hindwing may be somewhat broader. The transverse band beneath is white. - 
boreada Ww. differs somewhat in the brown basal band at the inner margin being prolonged to the place where boreada. 
it meets the main band. 46—56 mm. Mexico to Brazil, Paraguay. 
4. Genus: Homicliana Strd. 
Not different from Coronidia in the neuration. The G lacks the scent-pencil on the forewing. Antennae 
of $ like those of G- Third palpal joint sometimes longer in the $ than in the G■ Wings shaped as in Coronidia. 
L. Species with a red band on the hindwing. 
H. tangens Strd. (139 c). Both bands on the forewing edged outside with a somewhat lighter colour, tangens. 
The carmine spot on the hindwing extends broadly to the costal margin. Forewing dark also beneath, cross¬ 
band brownish-grey, edged with deep black inside, with reddish-white outside. Submarginal line likewise 
reddish-white. The red band on the hindwing beneath is darker, its interior edge straighter than in westwoodi. 
G 55 mm. Ecuador. 
H. westwoodi Oberth. (139 c). G- The two bands on the forewing are somewhat narrower than in tangens. tvestwoodi. 
The spot on the hindwing is only pinkish-red but similarly broad. The transverse band on the lighter brown 
forewing beneath is almost white, little bent, edged with a somewhat darker colour. The pink band on the 
hindwing is somewhat narrower and longer towards the inner margin than above. A pink line also behind it 
in the marginal area. G 52 mm. Colombia. 
H. traducta Strd. (139 c). $. The interior line on the forewing extends somewhat more obliquely than traducta. 
in westwoodi, the main band is broad, straight, slightly brownish. The red band on the hindwing is darker, 
similarly shaped as in westwoodi beneath, with a red line before the margin instead of the brown one of west¬ 
woodi. Forewing beneath with a broad white transverse band, the submarginal line also broader than in tvest¬ 
woodi. The hindwing almost entirely lacks the fine red lines in the marginal area. As Hampson describes the 
G as follows: “Main band of forewing less dentate inside than in the basal and interior lines not with bluish- 
white scales”, he has evidently had no traducta -$ before him. but perhaps the otherwise unknown westwoodi 
55 mm. Bolivia. 
H. leucosticta Hmps. G■ As there are no characteristic differences from other species mentioned, it is leucostida. 
difficult to say anything about the species. The red band on the hindwing is as short as in tangens, but with 
undulated edges. The white transverse band on the forewing beneath is excurved. 
H. rosina Fldr. is a very conspicuous species. The exterior and interior bands on the forewing above rosina. 
are broad brownish-white, almost straight, darker in the G- The similarly coloured submarginal line extends 
to vein 4, being more remote from the margin than usual in both wings. The red band on the hindwing of the 
$ almost extends to the inner margin. Fore wing beneath with a longer submarginal line; large pinkish-white 
submarginal spots on the hindwing are situated far off from the margin. 55—60 mm. Colombia, Venezuela. 
H. egina Blanch. (= nicaraguana Ww.). The basal line on the forewing is not very light. The treble egina. 
interior band forms an angle below vein 2 in G and The likewise treble exterior band is slightly excurved 
behind the cell, distally light-edged in the G, the edge of the $ somewhat broader, the undulated median lines 
more prominent. The red band on the hindwing of the G narrower than in the $, somewhat angular at its end. 
The forewing beneath shows the white main band also slightly excurved; the space from a little before it to 
the light submarginal line is dark brown, but lighter behind the latter line. The pink band of the hindwing 
extends to the inner margin, the distal margin is also pink outside, blackish-brown before it with pink lines. 
45—60 mm. Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. 
H. anilina Bryk (139 c). Both wings very similar to egina, but easily separable on the forewing by the anilina. 
exterior band being only composed of 3 equally strong lines which are very strongly notched. Thus it resembles 
subpicta which, however, belongs to another group for the yellow band on the hindwing. G 50 mm. Bueyes 
(Bolivia). 
H. restincta Strd. (139 c). The treble interior line on the hindwing is similarly situated as in egina, restincta. 
the likewise treble exterior line is somewhat more excurved behind the cell in the G, with hardly any notches 
on the inside. Margiiral area similar to that in egina. Forewing of G only with a narrow greyish-white line 
instead of the usual band, and distally to it a few lighter undulated lines at the inner margin. Exterior line of $ 
intensely white outside and shaped as in egina. The very narrow pink band of the hindwing ends at vein 5. 
only the marginal lines form the usual angle there and extend further to the inner margin. 55—60 mm. Ecuador. 
H. canace Hpff. (= egina Hpff., cana Hpff., paulina-J Wiv., aeolata-^ Ww.) (139 d). Very similar carw.ce. 
to egina. Basal line of forewing as light as the innermost of the treble interior line which is straight or slightly
