often a fourth in the middle subcostally; somewhat darker subterminal clouding; hindwing as in modesta. 
Brazil. 
H. joinvillia Schs. is allied with dentata and postica ; anterior body reddish-brown mixed with white, 
abdomen above brown. Forewing lustrous yellowish reddish brown, the dark veins strewn with white like 
the whole wing; inner margin deeply lobate; transverse lines brown, bordered with reddish-yellow on the averted 
sides, the anterior one straight, the posterior one distant from the apex as far as close behind the inner-marginal 
dent; the space behind it darker as far as the margin, undulately defined outside; 3 small indistinct dark spots 
in the disc. Hindwing whitish, suffused with brownish cinnamon with a bronze gloss, stigma darker brown. 
Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Brazil, Joinville. 
H. postica Maass. Forewing light yellowish-brown with brown transverse lines bordered with white 
on the averted sides, a brown lunar spot at the cell-end is composed of 3 blackish connected dots; dark sub- 
terminal clouding forms three large spots. Hindwing whitish, yellowish greyish-brown at the distal margin. 
Described according to a $. From Ecuador. 
H. barina Guen. (= illucens Wkr.) is very much like trinubila with the same brown ground-colour; 
transverse lines somewhat straighter, the exterior one more remote from the distal margin. Hindwing darker 
greyish-brown, the stigma of the same colour and therefore not prominent. Inner margin not dentate. Brazil. 
H. longipennis Schs. (156 c) is easily recognizable by the remarkably long and narrow yellow r forewings; 
the distal margin is somewhat convex below the apex and of a very oblique course so that the anal angle is 
almost absent; transverse lines violettish-brown, the exterior one bordered with white inside, beginning with 
a black spot at the apex, the marginal area behind it brownish ochreous, somewhat lighter towards the apex; 
a thick brown and lilac streak at the cell-end, a small spot above it and a little before it. Hincbwing purely 
white. Colombia, Guiana. 
H. albulana Drc. (156 c) is one of the lightest species, forewing yellowish-white, the transverse lines 
reddish-yellow, bordered with a lighter colour, the exterior one with very fine red-brown vein-dots, the interior 
one strongly notched, often oidy indicated; 3 indistinct dots at the cell-end; forewing broad, a dent in the centre 
of the inner margin. Hindwing white, no stigma. Mexico, Costa Rica. 
H. avangareza Schs. is very similarly marked, but the forewing is dull brown, strewn blackish, the trans¬ 
verse lines light reddish-yellow, the interior one forms 3 bows. Hindwing white, light brown at the distal margin. 
Costa Rica. 
H. olivenca sp. n. (157 a). A very conspicuous species, median area and the basal two thirds of the 
inner margin lilac, velvety deep chocolate brown above it in the basal part and in the whole marginal area, 
the two colours defined by scarcely noticable dark fine lines which are somewhat more distinct only in the inner- 
marginal part where they exhibit on vein 1 one white, black-edged dot on each side facing the other; the 
posterior line forms an obtuse angle distally on vein 2, so that from here both the lines extend almost parallel 
to the inner margin; an oblique brown streak at the cell-end. Hindwing light brown, darkened at the margin. 
According to 1 $ from Sao Paulo de Olivenca in the Berlin Museum e coll. Stgr. A considerably lighter smaller 
S from Villavicencio presumably belongs to this $; its hindwing is white, the margin and stigma narrowly 
light brown. 
H. crassa Schs. (156 c). Forewing very dark red-brown, without a dent at the inner margin, narrowly 
strewn with grey; only a black postmedian transverse line edged with dark grey is distinctly present, extend¬ 
ing down from the fourth fifth of the costal margin; the indistinct interior line is angled in the middle; an 
extinct dark spot is at the cell-end. Hindwing whitish, veins, distal margin and stigma dark brown. Expanse 
of wings: 37 mm. French Guiana. 
H. angulinea Schs. (= angidata Dogn.). Forewing violettish-brown, the veins strewn dark and recldish- 
yellow; the dark brown transverse lines are bordered with reddish-yellow on the averted sides, the anterior 
one is undulate, the posterior one very angular on the middle radial vein; darker shadowy spots at the cell- 
end and subterminally between the veins. Hindwing whitish, shaded brown at the distal margin. Bolivia. 
4 H. taperinha Schs. is very near to angulinea from which it differs in the undulate-dentate margin. Fore¬ 
wing light brownish cinnamon, browner at the inner margin, costal margin and median area strewn white; 
traces of an undulate subbasal line, the anterior transverse line from the centre of the costal margin, light brown, 
somewhat white above inside, somewhat undulate, with a black dot on vein 1, a yellowish patch in the cell 
behind it, a dark ring at the cross-vein, and a small spot above it; the postmedian line before the apex white, 
angled on 7, then brownish, cut by the veins which are red-brown outside, strewn with white; darker subter¬ 
minal shading, expanded below' 4 and 3. Fringe dotted white. Hindwing brownish cinnamon, base of cell and 
costal margin whitish. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Amazons (Taperinha). 
H. commentica Schs. (156 c) is very similar to taperinha ; forewing grey, strewn light brown, brown at the 
distal margin, with a dark grey spot at the cell-end; the interior transverse line is very indistinct, the posterior 
line begins at the second third of the costal margin and is sharply angled on the upper radial vein from where it
