strewn with red brown, the lines composed of black, red-brown, and orange scales, the posterior line double, 
the interior part thicker, distally angled on vein 3, then vertical to the inner margin; a small blackish-brown 
spot at the cross-vein, a red-brown dot above it, a darker shadow behind it; traces of a whitish subtermi¬ 
nal line; a dark lunular line at the margin is thickened on the veins. Hindwing light reddish-yellow and 
dusted grey from the base to behind the dark median line, with brown veins, margin broadly brownish cin¬ 
namon; fringe white. Expanse of wings: 60 mm. Peru (Rio Huacamaya). 
L. abdjesa Schs. Anterior body drab, tegulae intermixed with white, thorax more brown; abdomen abdjesa. 
blackish-brown above, with lighter segmental lines, intermixed with white basally and dorsally, the two last 
segments white mixed with brown. Eorewing white, strewn with chestnut-brown, the lines composed of 
blackish-brown and orange scales, the anterior one meeting the indistinct median shadow at the inner margin; 
the posterior line is vertical, slightly incurved between 3 and 2; subterminal line white, irregular; marginal 
line red-brown, projecting on the veins. Hindwing brown, fringe white. Expanse of wings: 60 mm. Bolivia 
(Incachaca). 
L. gunthierna Schs. Forewing white and brownish cinnamon; abdomen nut-brown above, with light drab gunthierna. 
hair, the last segment white and cinnamon-brown. Forewing white, strewn with brown and black; a very fine, 
feeble parallel line before the antemedian line which is strewn with blackish-brown and orange; cross-vein 
streak with a fine black line; the posterior transverse line is coloured like the anterior one, followed by a 
chiefly orange parallel line; subterminal line purely white, irregular, the fine dark brown marginal line enters 
into the fringe above and below the ends of the veins. Hindwing dark brownish, fringe white. Expanse 
of wings: 65 mm. Bolivia (Songo). It is near favilla, but it has broader wings and different genital organs. 
L. favilla Dogn. (153 g) is greyer, more densely strewn with blackish, the broad brownish-grey transverse favilla. 
lines single, a whitish brightening behind the distal line, and the undulate line is also whitish. Hindwing 
greyish-brown. Ecuador, Colombia. 
L. friburga sp. n. (153 h) is somewhat similar to favilla. The whitish ground of the fore wing is very friburga. 
densely and coarsely strewn with black and dark brown, scantily with orange; antemedian line double, oblique, 
of almost the same course as in dentilinea, but deep black, distally scaled orange; a large white reniform 
macula at the cell-end; postmedian line very thick and deep black, almost rectangularly produced between 
3 and 4, the postmedian area behind it strewn darker, excepting a purely white line, and projecting with 
2 darker pointed notches between 2 and 4 towards the whitish subterminal line; marginal line black, cohe¬ 
rent, projecting on the veins, with thick black spots between them on the fringe. Hindwing black. Thorax 
black intermixed with long white hair. Abdomen black above, orange beneath. From a $ from Novo Fri- 
burgo in the Coll. Niepelt. 
L. dentilinea Schs. (153 h). Forewing grey with 2 darker red-brown, strongly notched transverse lines, dentilinea. 
the anterior one only dentate at the costal margin, the cell-end streak likewise red-brown. Hindwing blackisch- 
grey, lighter at the distal margin. Abdomen blackish-grey, with deep yellow bands beneath, and yellow lateral 
tufts. Brazil (Sao Paulo). Expanse of wings: 66 mm. 
L. smithi Drc. Forewing greyish-white densely strewn with red-brown, only the broad red-brown smithi. 
anterior transverse line is visible. Hindwing likewise grevish-white. Abdomen yellowish-white above, all white 
beneath. Expanse of wings: 62 mm. Colombia. 
L. schausi Dogn. (153 g). Forewing white, densely strewn with black and yellow, with 2 black trails- schausi. 
verse lines, the posterior one almost straight, distally accompanied by a black shadow, with a purer white 
filling between, black crescents at the margin, a black dot behind each of them. Hindwing brownish with 
traces of a lighter median line; abdomen also brownish. This species described from Venezuela is between 
aglone and favilla. 
L. obliquilinea Schs. Forewing white strewn with brown, most intensely in the basal area which is obliqai- 
bordered by the double brown antemedian line; a black dot below the base of the cell, and a dark inner- line a. 
marginal shadow; the interior part of the double postmedian line only extends to behind the centre of the 
cell; undulate line white, shaded darker inside. Fringe white with brown spots. Hindwing blackish-grey, broadly 
brown at the inner margin, with darker veins and white fringe. Abdomen yellowish-brown above, white be¬ 
neath. Expanse of wings: 50 mm. British Guiana. 
L. irrorata Schs. is allied to schausi ; forewing white, scantily strewn with brown and yellow; between irrorata. 
the double strongly dentate transverse lines, which are more densely strewn with brown and especially yellow, 
there is an almost straight median line, slightly dentate only on the veins, distally followed by broad white 
colour; an irregular brown marginal line in the purer white marginal area. Hindwing white with a dark median 
line. The $ is more densely strewn with brown. Abdomen blackish-brown, with lighter brown segments and 
a white dorsal line, white beneath. Expanse of wings: £ 69, $ 90 mm. Costa Rica.
