brown or blackish-brown, finer and darker in the lower half, distally shaded with brownish-grey in the upper 
half, widened towards the costal margin and subcostally traversed by two black vein-streaks; a large dark 
brown longitudinal spot at the cell-end is scaled ochreous; large white subanal spots enclosing black marginal 
spots which extend into the white fringe. Hindwing iridescent white with yellowish inner margin and veins 
and a small dark anal spot. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. British Guiana. 
H. teffeina Schs. Body drab, intermixed with white and brown. Forewing white, strewn with drab teffeina. 
and blackish-brown, double transverse lines and the cliscal luna fine black, all filled with reddish yellow; 
marginal area dusted with brownish with a fine undulated black marginal line. Hindwing white with a narrow 
light brownish apical shadow and a brown anal spot with a blackish-brown lunular spot behind it; marginal 
veins fine brown. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. Amazons (Teffe). Closely allied with arthemis. 
H. gastriva Schs. looks like the preceding species, but it is darker and differs from the diagnose of the gastriva. 
genus in the antennae being pectinated only on the inside, serrate outside; forewing grey, strewn darker, 
brownish at the margin, the anterior transverse lines only feebly marked, but a distinct double median line is 
present, thickened below the cell and dentate distally above the inner margin. Hindwing grey, strewn with 
brown, witli brown veins and marginal line and a blackish anal spot parted by light. Expanse of wings: 
45 mm. Dutch Guiana. 
H. albifera Dogn. (= vatsoni Schs.). Forewing violettish-brown, mixed with whitish at the base, with albifera. 
4 blackish antemedian transverse lines; a yellowish-white streak at the cross-vein is bordered with dark brown 
inside, distally to it a fine brown line which extends from the costal margin to the inner margin; the marginal 
line is white, scantily strewn with brown, bordered by a double black line which is filled with steel-grey and 
extends inwards curved from the apex to the anal angle. Hindwing brownish-grey with white fringe. Expanse 
of wings: 39 mm. Guiana. 
H. semialba Drc. (149 1) has violettish-brown forewings strewn with white basally as in albifera , with a semialba. 
black dentate postmedian line behind which a large white area follows, which reaches neither, the apex nor the 
anal angle and is strewn somewhat grey in the middle; the white fringe behind the black marginal line is 
traversed by black at the ends of the veins. Hindwing white with a grey anal spot. Peru, Brazil. 
H. similis Dogn. (= dyari Schs.) resembles the two preceding species, but the marginal area is more similis. 
intensely strewn with brown, its interior black border-lines are parted towards the costal margin and followed 
by a straight brown subcostal line; instead of the blackish-brown marginal lunae of the preceding species there 
is a line here, which is straight in its upper half, undulate below it. Hindwing white with brown veins and 
marginal line, and a brownish anal spot. Expanse of wings: 43—44 mm. Venezuela. 
75. Genus: Trumaiida Dogn. 
Only half of antennae pectinated, the hairy palpi short. Fore wing long and rather narrow, with long 
hair below in the cellular half and on the submedian line; neuration as in the preceding genus, but vein 6 proceeds 
only behind the centre of the areole. Hindwing almost quadrangularly cut off at the apex, distal margin 
somewhat concave in the centre, the veins arising from the upper cell-angle are not stalked. Only two species. 
Type of the genus: T. fifiana Dogn. 
T. fifiana Dogn. (150 a) (= stigmatica Rothsch.). Forewing light yellowish-brown at the costal margin fifiana. 
and in the distal half, yellowish pink as far as the centre of the cell, light yellow in the distal half of the cell, 
with a darker double anterior transverse line extending through the centre of the cell; a double brown cross¬ 
vein streak at the cell-end, and a brownish ochreous spot of broad modified scales in the lower half of the 
median area, like a scent-scale spot, finely bordered with white distally; fringe white, traversed by brown on 
the veins. Hindwing diaphanous white, more densely scaled yellowish-white at the costal and inner margins. 
French Guiana. 
T. schiffi Schs. Head and thorax white, intermixed with single sand-coloured hairs; abdomen yellowish- schiffi. 
white. Forewing white, spotted grey at the costal margin instead of the beginnings of the lines, strewn with 
sand-colour basally and antemedianly; subbasal line grey, bordered with a pure white inside, a drab spot behind 
it at the inner margin, anterior transverse line double, black in the cell, grey below it, filled with white; a black 
streak at the cross-vein, the veins 3—8 as far as the subterminal line also black; the spaces between 4 and 8 
w r hite, transparent, traversed by a fine double black postmedian line; small orange brown spots behind vein 
2 and below 5; subterminal black spots, a white line behind it, bordered with brown on both sides. Hindwing 
transparent white, with reddish-yellow hairs at the inner margin, a short black line at the costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 48 mm. Colombia (Buena Vista).
