and abdomen equally coloured; the forewing with rows of dark brown spots. Hindwing light, slightly speckled. 
Only 2 known. Costa Rica. 
G. rufiflava Dgn. is not so bright yellow as tigrata , the whole apical part of the forewing broadly suffused 
with dark brown, without a darker median band. Only 1 badly preserved $ specimen. French Guiana. 
G. invenusta Schs. (183 e) is a larger species; of a reddish brown flesh colour, shaded with velvety blackish; 
subbasal line shaded darker along the submedian line outward; a blackish shadow from the cell-end to the 
anal angle, a triple stripe at the apex. Hindwing of triangular, of $ rounded, black, deeper black in the 
Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing only on a very short stalk, and perhaps the species would be better ranged among 
Langsdorfia. Brazil. 
G. triplex Schs. (183 f). Grey with many angular brown spots intermixed with a bright yellowish brown 
colour; 3—5 black internerval stripes, the veins themselves reddish; apex and anal angle as far as vein 2 broadly 
light. French Guiana and Amazons. Brazilian specimens differ in the black stripe being only present between 
3 and 4, and the dark spots at the cell-end being rounded and more concentrated. Taperinha. 
G. sabulosa Schs. (182 d). Brown, somewhat yellowish, densely reticulated forming spots, the only real 
markings being submarginal interrupted reticulations; the lighter parts are incompletely rounded spots with 
darker ones between them. Hindwing dark. Brazil. 
G. sterila Dgn. (183 f). Grey with faint fine darker reticular markings and a black irregular oblique 
line from the costal margin near the base outward to vein 1. coarse reticular marking across the apex. Hindwing 
likewise well reticulated. French Guiana. A doubtless Langsdorfia. 
G. fidelis Schs. (183 f). Dark red-brown, quite indistinctly reticulated black, mixed with reddish flesh- 
colour at the costal margin; a strong black streak along the inner margin for U; margin somewhat lighter, 
with a reticulated submarginal parallel line. Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Peru. 
G. clathrata Dgn. (183 f). Of a warm dark brown with fine extinct reticular markings and coarser black 
striae, the latter forming irregular transverse lines submarginally and in the basal third, connected by a line 
along vein 1. Only 2 $$ at hand, veins 6 and 7 of hindwing on a very short stalk or quite separated. French 
Guiana. Probably a Langsdorfia. 
G. morosa Schs. (183 f). A dark brown species with uniformly fine reticular markings, without coarse 
lines. Of a warm dark brown colour, not scantily scaled, the reticular markings dense; only an extinct darker 
antemedian line extends obliquely from the inner margin outward to the costal margin. Costa Rica and Bolivia 
(Rio Songo). 
G. mucida H.Edw. (182 e). Forewing greyish brown, rather feebly striated and partly confluent to 
reticular markings, finely dusted darker grey, but an area in and below the cell remains lighter, whitish; a dark 
diffuse spot at. the cell-end; fringe speckled brown and white. Hindwing dingy whitish, speckled with brown. 
Arizona. 
G. guata Schs. (183 f). Forewing light reddish brown with a lilac tinge, a dark shadow from the centre 
of the costal margin to the anal angle comprises the apex; the striae are chiefly transverse, dark brown, blurred; 
more reticular on the lighter hindwing. Guatemala. 
G. tecmessa Schs. (183 g). Dark red-brown, the forewing with broad bands of transverse spot-like 
striae, especially prominent an undulated transverse dark shadowy line. Hindwing lighter except the submarginal 
area. Only the single type is known, from Brazil. 
G. difflua Dgn. (183 g) resembles the following arbeloides, but it is somewhat more yellowish, and the 
macular markings of the forewing form a broad subterminal band in the distal third of the wing. Argentina. 
G. arbeloides Dyar (= flavescens Dgn., felicoma Dyar) (182 e) is yellowish brown, with darker purple 
brown spot-like speckles, so that rows of spots are formed between the veins, especially along the inner margin, 
in a broad submarginal area and at. the cell-end. The lighter hindwing is feebly speckled darker, with a large 
dark discal spot. Southern United States (Texas). Mexico and Central America. — - rufescens B. <£• McD. shows 
brighter red-brown spots, so that the insect looks much redder. Described from Missouri (Greenville). 
G. talboti Dgn. (183 g). Thinly scaled, especially the hindwing diaphanous, the shape of the wings 
more roundish, pointed at the apex. Ground-colour dusty grey, the reticular markings strigiform, dark car¬ 
mine, especially at the costal margin, rather uniformly coarse. Hindwing with dark veins and a dark shaded 
inner margin, with faint red apical reticular markings. Only the type known, from Bolivia. 
G. rubida Dgn. (183 g) has somewhat more quadrangularlv pointed forewings, the hindwing not dia- 
rubida.
