L. venosa Warr. (170 h) is all white, all the veins dark brown. Costal margin of forewing black at the 
base. 20—24 mm. Venezuela. 
L. albida Dgn. Body white, the wings also white, the veins somewhat more coloured. Similar to venosa 
Warr. (170 h), but smaller, whiter, the veins less prominent. 23 mm. Described according to a $ from the Rio 
Tapajoz (Amazons). 
L. subfumida Warr. (170 h). Brownish white. Costal margin of forewing and all the veins brown. Hind¬ 
wing with but slightly darker veins and a lighter costal margin. $ 20 mm. Venezuela. 
L. persordida Warr. (170 h). Wings greyish brown, the veins on both wings dark. Forewing with traces 
of a dark interior and exterior shadow. Hindwing with a more intensely black cross-vein. Forewing beneath with 
a black subapical dot. $ 22 mm. Bolivia. 
20. Genus: Siculodopsis Warr. 
The 6 very similar species which owe their generic name to a purely habitual resemblance to some 
Thyrididae are all American. — Proboscis present, palpi short, antennae of + pectinate, anal tuft long. Fore¬ 
wing of the typical species oblong, costal margin slightly bent, apex somewhat pointed. Vein 3 a little before 
4; 5 and 0 + 7 from the same base, 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing rounded, anal angle insignificantly lobate. Type: 
flaviceps Warr. All the species look insignificant. 
S. flaviceps Warr. (170 h). Greyish ochreous, finely striated blackish. Forewing with a black subapical 
dot which is absent on the hindwing. <$ 28 mm. Sao Paulo. 
S. pallidifrons Warr. (170 h). Similar to a small flaviceps. Forewing dingy pale grey, browner at the 
costal margin. A dark indistinct spot at the cross-vein, a short black streak near the apex, with no other marking. 
Hindwing somewhat darker grey, dusted brown. A black dot at the cross-vein. $ 20 mm. Ecuador. 
S. dubia Warr. Dingy pale grey, spotted darker. Costal and distal margins fadedly darker. Cellular 
spot brown, a dark indistinct band at % of the length of the wing. Hindwing also with a cellular spot and 
traces of a curved grey submarginal line. 24 mm. Ecuador. 
S. gracilinea Warr. Pale reddish grey with fine brown striae. The lines indistinct, brown. The first 
from below x / 3 costal margin obliquely inward, interrupted. The exterior line from the middle of the costal 
margin obliquely outward to vein 7, then straight, inward. On the hindwing only the exterior line is recognizable, 
costal margin paler. <$ 24 mm. Peru. 
S. grisea Warr. (170 h) has broad wings. Dingy grey with black streaks especially at the costal 
margin. The streaks form an indistinct interior and exterior band. A rather large black subapical spot 
above vein 6. Also the hindwing with an indistinct interior and exterior shadowy band. 28 mm. Ecuador. 
S. semifasciata Dogn. Grey, the spots and marking blackish brown. The interior line of the forewing 
is marked by a spot at the costal margin and a small one at the median vein at x / 3 of the length of the wing. 
The exterior line marked by a blackish shadow at 2 / 3 of the length of the wing and by spots at veins 7, 6, 
4, 3 and 2. A small black oblique streak at the apex and two marginal spots between veins 7 and 5. Brown 
streaks on the whole wing, more densely arranged at the costal margin and at % inner margin. A white spot 
at the cell-end, a brown streak before it and the brown cross-vein behind it. Hindwing Avith a few streaks at 
the inner margin and the beginning of a submarginal line. 
21. Genus: Hemioplisis H.-ScMff. 
Antennae of $ with one row of pectinations. Forewing with a pointed apex, distal margin excurved 
above the anal angle. Vein 5 far in front, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 + 9 + 10 stalked. Distal margin of hind¬ 
wing uniformly rounded, apex and anal angle rather sharp. Type: drepanularia H.-Schdff.; it differs somewhat 
from the other species in the scheme of markings. 
H. drepanularia H.-Schaff. (171 a). Violettish brown. Interior line fine black, extra-angular from 2 / 5 
costal margin to the cross-vein, then very oblique to x / 3 inner margin. Exterior line dark brown, from 2 3 costal 
margin obliquely outward to vein 6, where it is bent round, straightly towards 3 / 5 inner margin, slightly extra- 
angular at vein 1. A distinct black line from the apex to the angle at vein 6. The median area somewhat lighter. 
The lighter median area on the hindwing extends almost to the base. Exterior line from % costal margin to 
2 3 inner margin, semicircularly excurved behind the cell. $ 30 mm. Brazil. 
H. maculata Warr. (171 a). $ forewing reddish brown, with fine black transverse streaks, paler at the 
costal margin. Interior line indistinct, from l / 3 costal margin, angled in the cell, to y 3 inner margin. The space 
before it dark red-brown. Exterior line from the apex uniformly bent to 3 / 5 inner margin, edged with white 
inside. The margin behind it as far as vein 3 upward red-brown. Hindwing red-brown in the basal and marginal 
areas. Interior line on + t of its length, exterior line at 3 / 5 . $ dark violettish brown. Interior line more distinct, 
steeper at the inner margin. Exterior line from 2 / 3 costal margin sharply angled at vein 7, otherwise as in the +
