H. hoppi Bryk (139 d). Forewing similar to evenus-^ by the notched interior edge of the light exterior hoppi. 
band; the dark undulate lines behind it likewise recall evenus. The hindwing resembles more leachi by the narrow 
yellow band. This band is narrow and bright yellow beneath in ho-ppi, somewhat broader and strewn with 
red scales in leachi. $ 48 mm. Pasto (Colombia). 
H. briseis Ww. (= leucothysanota-(J Strd.). The $ forewing is reddish-brown at the base, the interior briseis. 
band somewhat lighter, pointed at the inner margin. Its exterior edge is uniformly convex, or undulated, 
rectilinear. Median area very dark reel-brown, excurved behind the cell, then slightly outward and straight to 
the inner margin, or forming an angle in the submedian fold, above which it is inserted. The light red-brown 
exterior band is only bordered outside at the costal margin, otherwise broadly flown out. Light oblique spots 
before the distal margin. Hindwing with the orange band widened at vein 5, but sometimes much less so. 
whilst it is normally broad beneath. Fringe white at the apex and the tip of the tail. $ 45—50 mm. Venezuela. 
Bolivia, Peru. I cannot tell whether Hampson is correct in regarding leucothysanota Strd. as the C of it; it may 
also be a uniformly darkened specimen of subevenus Strd. The only difference in the scheme of markings is on 
the forewing: a somewhat feebler angle of the median band outside, at vein 5. The few $$ before me likewise 
differ a little from each other, so that evenus and briseis may be the same species. 
H. leachi Latr. (= japet Blanch.) (139 a, d). The is above the same as subevenus, but separated on leachi. 
the hindwing by a white apical spot, not only white fringe, and a somewhat larger tail. Yet occur also 
with a more or less continuous exterior band as in the $, but the band is then brownish-white. It is always 
white beneath. The ground-colour of the $ is somewhat lighter than that of the <$. Interior band of hindwing 
uniform, not so notched as the corresponding lines of the narrower towards the inner margin. Exterior band 
also less notched, slightly bent at vein 5, filled with light brown inside, with yellowish-brown outside, sometimes 
also brownish-white as in the J. The light distal portion of the marginal area is more distinct than in the 
and entirely defined. Hindwing with a uniformly narrow orange band with somewhat notched edges. 50 mm. 
From Mexico to Brazil, Peru, Ecuador. 
H. aenophlebia Hmps. Forewing deep red-brown, dusted with grey, the veins pale red-brown, similar aenophiebia. 
to rubrivena. Interior line treble, undulated, bent. Cross-vein black. Three indistinct undulate lines behind 
the cell. Exterior band narrow, reddish-yellow, parted by a dark line, and edged with black; a grey and black 
line before it; the costal margin behind it reddish-yellow with small black spots. Then follow 2 black undulated 
marginal lines. Hindwing very dark, especially at the margin, where there is an undulated black line, edged 
with white inside, between veins 2 and 7. Fringe white at the apex and above the tail. $ 50—54 mm. Ecuador, 
Peru. 
5. Genus: Losiehotura Hmps. 
Antennae of <$ and $ fusiform. Neuration as in Coronidia, but the wings somewhat differently shaped. 
But as the shape of the wings is neither constant in the following genus and all the 3 pairs of tibiae are spined 
in both the genera in contrast with Coronidia, the name Lonchotura is really superfluous. 
L. ocylus Bsd. ( = genevana-^ Ww., dutreuxii Deyr.) (138 d). Forewing in one specimen distally ocylus. 
angled at vein 6, otherwise straight. Olive brown, median band darker, its interior edge widely excurved in the 
middle, its exterior edge feebly excurved at vein 5, then almost vertical. The wing is lightest behind this band. 
The white submarginal line is distally angled at vein 6, broadly dark before it. The greyish-brown hindwing 
shows a short orange band with an indistinct prolongation to the inner margin. — peruviana 31. Her. (138 d) peruviana. 
is as dark in the basal area as in the median area, so that their border is rather indistinct, though the border-line 
seems to be less excurved. The distal border of the median area and the submarginal line are light and distinct 
on the uniformly dark ground. The hindwing is without the brightening in the tail of ocylus, but an eye-dot 
is present. C 32 —46 mm. Central America to Ecuador, Peru. 
L. fassli Pfcijf. has been described as a Homidiana, but the shape of the wings makes me think that it is fassli. 
allied with ocylus, though the dark colour of the $ is more like that of leachi and evenus. Forewing of $ with 
many dark reddish-brown undulate lines. Interior line 1 y 2 mm broad, indistinctly dark brown, exterior line 
slightly S-shaped, just as broad, outside reddish-yellow, inside darker and dentate, parted in the middle, ending 
near the interior angle. Distal margin 2 mm broad reddish-brown, enclosing a black undulate line which is edged 
with light inside. Hindwing greyish-brown, with black and brown undulate lines in the inner-marginal third. 
The $ shows the same ground-colour on the forewing. The shape of the two bands is almost the same as in 
leachi. Interior band indistinct, parted by a dark line; exterior line outside somewhat undulated, brownish- 
yellow, inside sharply dentate, fine dark. Margin light brown, posteriorly broader, extending to the exterior 
band. Hindwing greyish-brown, the brownish-yellow band 2 mm broad, only present in the posterior portion. 
<3 42 mm, $ 37 mm. Rio Aguaca, Western Colombia. I doubt whether the two sexes really belong to one 
and the same species.
