S. flammans Hmps. Body and wings fiery red, only the tips of the patagia and the centre of the ah- flammans. 
domen brown. Forewing with numerous brown reticular lines. An almost triangular brown spot behind the 
cell, from which an oblique line proceeds, which widens below vein 2 and is divided at the inner margin. A 
brown line from the costal margin behind the middle obliquely outward as far as vein 5, slightly bent inward 
at vein 4, terminating at the anal angle. Hindwing also with dark reticular lines. A brown spot below the 
middle of the costal margin, with an adjoining line to the inner margin. Under surface pale brown. $ 32 mm. Peru. 
S. jucunda Warr. (173 d) is of a quite different exterior. Body brown and somewhat red. Forewing jucunda. 
brown and more intensely red. Below the margin pairs of large yellow spots and a small one between them. 
From the first pair at 2 / 5 costal margin a finely curved red line extends to V 3 inner margin. From the second 
pair at 2 / 3 costal margin and a single dot behind it a yellow straight forked line extends to % inner margin, 
parallel with the distal margin which is reddened below the middle. Round yellow spots at the apex and 
distal margin, a larger one between veins 4 and 5. Hindwing reddened only at the base as far as an irregular 
yellow line from which sometimes two similar lines extend to the distal margin below the middle, the lower 
one being slightly interrupted. The marginal area with large and small yellow spots. Under surface liver- 
brown, without red patches, the yellow spots strongly developed, the exterior line yellow, the margin behind 
it brown, with but few spots. £ 24 mm. Some specimens known from Peru and the Upper Amazon R. 
S. xanthopera Hmps. Body and wings pinkish brown, with thick yellow spots. Forewing with a bright xanthopera. 
yellow spot at the costal margin before the apex. A yellow, distally dark-edged line from the apex of the 
forewing to the middle of the inner margin on the hindwing. 1 S', 28 mm, from Rio de Janeiro. 
S. medara ScJis. Body and wings claret-coloured, densely spotted blackish brown, forming rings and medara. 
streaks, and strewn with red. Distal margin undulated, projecting in the middle. Forewing finely white at 
the costal margin. A small dark ring in the cell-end. Hindwing with small hyaline spots, forming an interior 
row and a middle row. The under surface flesh-coloured with red-brown ring-spots between the veins. $ 36 mm. 
Rio de Janeiro. 
S. pyrostola Hmps. (173 d) show r s still more diffently shaped wings. The distal margin of the forewing pyrostola. 
is cut out below the apex, excurved in the middle. Hindwing slightly angular at vein 4. Body fiery red. Fore¬ 
wing dehsely striated and tinged with fiery red. Behind the cross-vein an oblong black spot from wiiich an 
indistinct oblique red line extends to the inner margin. A few dark streaks at the end of the submedian fold. 
Hindwing fiery red with some yellow spots. Base and inner margin pale yellow. An oblique blackish median 
line with a yellow spot behind it in the cell-fold. Fringes of both wings blackish brown. Yellow beneath with 
numerous fiery red and a few black strigae. Forewing with black spots behind the cross-vein and in the centre 
of the submedian fold. $ 42 mm. Guiana. — It may be that this species is identical with the previously de¬ 
scribed Bhodogonia miniata Wart . (173 d). A specimen from the Senckenberg Museum shows the conspicuous 
yellow spot of pyrostola on the hindwing. The red line on the forewing, however, as well as the median line 
on the hindwing are absent. The specimen differs only in the yellow spot from a distinct miniata. 
10. Genus: Hypolailipriis Hmps. (Betousa Wkr.) 
The genus contains small species with narrow wings, nearly all of which are Indo-Australian, while 
3 species occur in Africa and only 2 in South America. Cf. Vol. II, p. 373; Vol. X, p. 749, and Vol. XIV, p. 494 
(Betousa). Type: striatalis Swh. from India. 
H. parisignata Warr. Similar to Symphleps ochracea Pagst. from Aru (Vol. X, p. 771), of about the parisignata. 
same size, with somewhat narrower wings, paler ochreous. Both wings with two black spots at the cross-vein, 
surrounded by black scales, but both wings are without the black marginal dots. Costal margin of fore wing 
somewiiat darker. Wings traversed by densely arranged dark lines as in ochracea. 22 mm. Described accord¬ 
ing to a couple from Surinam. 
H. stellata Schs. Body and wings greyish brown, with greyish white streaks and spots. The streaks stellata. 
in the basal third of the forewing are divided into spots by the veins, edged darker brown. The middle, ex¬ 
terior and submarginal rows of spots are edged darker, with black dots. The spots are divided into 5 or 6 parts 
by the transverse lines, those at the costal margin being smaller and less distinct. The exterior row is inwardly 
bent and almost fused with the middle row. Besides smaller divided spots right at the margin itself. On the 
hindwing the spots are smaller, winter at the inner margin, only the exterior and submarginal rows are centred 
dark. Wings broad, with a bent distal margin. $ 40 mm. Costa Rica. 
11. Genus: JLeteheno<les Warr. 
Exactly like Rhodoneura, but veins 8 + 9 of the forewing are stalked as in Hypolamprus, so that the 
new r genus seems to be really superfluous. Only 1 species. 
L. ninniusalis Wkr. Body greyish brown, wings violettish brown. Forewing rather pointed at the apex, ninniusalis. 
with short black lines at the costal margin. A group of bluish white hyaline spots in the centre of the wing,
