L. ancha Schs. is a larger species with broad wings, of a different exterior. Forewing brownish-black ancha. 
with fine indistinct transverse lines, the posterior one composed of small triangular black spots distally 
edged with whitish-grey; another fine transverse line in the middle, followed by a distinct black line ex¬ 
tending to below the cell, bordered with white outside below the cell and connected with a crescentiform 
streak before the cell-end by a dark streak; 2 black dots at the cell-end itself, 4 small whitish spots behind 
them; a black undulate submarginal line. Hindwing of the same colouring. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. 
Paraguay. 
L. plorabilis Schs. Fore wing steel-black strewn with grey, brownish in the cell and at the base of plorabilis. 
the inner margin, the transverse lines broken up into small dark velvety brown spots, brown shading be¬ 
hind the distal line with 2 rows of small dull brown spots; centre of costal margin strewn with white; a dark 
brown spot at the cell-end, dark brown lunar streaks at the dusted brownish distal margin, distally edged with red¬ 
dish-yellow. Hindwing smoky brown. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. French Guiana. 
L. falsimonia Dogn. Forewing coal-black, lighter brownish ochreous at the inner margin, below the falsimonia. 
cell and at the margin, still lighter in the cell-end and from there widened to the costal margin; transverse 
lines broken up into thick black internerval dots as in plorabilis, and also a submarginal row of black dots. 
Hindwing blackish, fringe light. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. French Guiana. 
106. Genus: UTesefora Schs. 
Antennae of both sexes shortly pectinated as far as beyond the middle; palpi slightly drooping with a very 
short terminal joint. Forewing rather long and narrow, veins 2—4 at equal distances from each other, vein 5 
arises from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the upper cell-angle, hindwing as in Scevesia, but vein 6 on 
a short stalk with 7, 8 from the centre of the cell. 
Type of genus: N. norema Schs. 
N. norema Schs. Eorewing brown, with a velvety brown oblique streak below the base of the cell with norema. 
a white spot behind it, lighter brown in the disc, bordered by a curved brown double line with a black line 
behind it; behind the uniformly bent postmedian line follows at fii'st a whitish shadow, then a brown one; 
marginal area grey mixed with lilac, with a subterminal row of small brown spots. Hind wing brown. Thesis 
larger, greyer, with indistinct transverse markings and a postcellular row of small blackish spots. Expanse of 
wings: $ 35, $ 46 mm. French Guiana. 
107. Genus: Gluphisia Bsdv. 
This genus being also represented in the palaearctic region (cf. Vol. 11, p. 295) occurs in North America 
in a series of forms which are combined in but two species now. The $ antennae are pectinated to the tips, 
those of the $ plain; palpi short, hairy. They are small, insignificantly coloured species with rather narrow 
forewings; vein 5 arises from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the upper cell-angle; hindwing with the 
usual neuration, vein 8 arises only near the cell-end. 
Type of genus: G. crenata Esp. from Europe. 
G. septentrionis Wkr. (~ septentrionalis auct., clandestina Wkr., trilineata Pack.) (154 a) is the smallest septen- 
and most insignificant species; forewing ash-grey, very variably lighter or darker, with more or less distinct 
transverse lines edged with whitish, and a dark shadowy band behind the anterior line, the median area 
generally yellowish strewn with black; the submarginal line is twice obtusely broken. Hindwing lighter or 
darker ash-grey. — f. ridenda Edw. (154 a) is lighter grey, the broad median band of a clear light reddish-yellow ridenda. 
colour. — f. rupta Edw. is still somewhat lighter whitish-grey with a narrower yellow' median band the black rupta. 
border-lines of which cut each other at the inner margin, a darker shadowy band following behind the distal 
transverse line, absent in ridenda. Both forms from Colorado and Montana. — f. albofascia Edw. Forewing albofascia. 
more yellowish-grey with a broad dark subbasal shadowy band; median area yellowish-grey with a broad 
black shadowy band behind it. Hindwing with a faded broad dark band in the marginal quarter. From Utah. 
- f. formosa Edw. is a lighter grey form, chiefly from Texas, with almost white hindwings; the median band formosa. 
of the forewing is quite light flesh-coloured or yellowish, parted by a darker median line which is thickened 
on the veins; interior transverse line very strong and deep black. — f. wrightii Edw. is very intensely strewn wrightii. 
with black, the light median band very dark, light reddish-yellow only above the inner margin in a qua¬ 
drangular spot, parted by a black median line; postmedian area densely shaded with black as far as the 
dentate submarginal line. Hindwing dingy white with a darker submarginal shadow. California. - - f. quinquelinea quinque- 
Dyar, from the Pacific Coast, is a more insignificant form with 5 distinct transverse lines on its grey ground. 
— Larva green with yellow subdorsal lines and red double dorsal spots except on the 4th and 5th segments. 
It lives on aspen-trees.
