phanous. Forewing uniformly dark red-brown, feebly speckled darker, hindwing dingy white, fringe red-brown, 
and with a red-brown wedge-like spot before the anal angle. French Guiana. 
G. tristis Wlcr. F brewing dull red-brown, with slightly darker spots, hindwing tinged yellow, light or tristis. 
rather dark covered all over with small indistinct spot-like reticular markings. Venezuela. 
G. modisnia Schs. (183 g). Similarly marked as tristis and perhaps the same species; but while in tristis modisma. 
the reticular lines in the distal area form separated oblique spots, there are here two lines parallel with the distal 
margin. The two specimens before me do not differ from each other, but one of them has much darker hind- 
wings. Guatemala. 
G. harcur sp. n. (183 g) resembles tristis and modisma , but the wings are narrower and more pointed, harcur. 
the dark red ground with hardly any reticulations, and before the margin there are no linear markings; spotted 
costal-marginal markings are prominent owing to their being edged with yellowish. Hindwing yellowish, slightly 
strewn at the distal margin, the margin itself spotted dark brown, and a reddish shadow extends before the 
inner margin towards the base. 1 from the Amazons (Teffe), type in the U. S. National Museum. 
G. modia sp. n. (183 h) has the shape of wings of arbeloides which it resembles, but the ground-colour modia. 
is a uniformly soft red-brown; the reticular markings striated or spotted, darker brown, blurred; a darker cloud 
at the cell-end, and an accumulation of dark scales before the middle of the inner margin, at the same place 
where there is a feeble discal spot on the hindwing. Hindwing only somewhat lighter than the forewing, other¬ 
wise similar. 1 from the Amazons (Praniha); type in the U. S. National Museum. 
Section II. Hindwing without a connecting bar between 7 and 8 (Lentagena Dyar). 
G. eureca Schs. (183 h) has long wings, with parallel margins and an obtuse apex; forewing light lilac eureca. 
grey, between the base of veins 2 and 1 with a large triangular brown spot edged with whitish, the interspaces 
of the cell-branches blackish and a bent blackish shadow from above 4 to the apex; a brown area below vein 
1 at the inner margin. Only the type, 1 <$, is known, from Guatemala. 
G. guiguasia Dgn. (183 h). Forewing grey with linear transverse striae, with a large dark brown spot guiguasia. 
near the base enclosing an oval silvery spot on vein 1, a small brown spot at the cell-end. Hindwing blackish. 
Only the <$ type is known, from Venezuela. 
G. orraata Dgn. (= ? saladota Dgn.) (183 h) is a very small species with differently arranged markings; ornaia. 
white subterminally and above the anal angle on the rusty brown ground, with irregular small brown spots in 
the subterminal area and with an oblique row of spots through the middle of the cell to before the anal angle. 
From Argentina. The saladota- type is no more recognizable, oily, worn and broken, the size and habitat the 
same; it may nevertheless be another species. 
G. perfida Schs. (183 h). Dark brownish, densely speckled and spotted, the spots basally more or less perfida. 
confluent; an angled white-dusted antemedian band and a small spot at the cell-end; the small spots lighter 
than the ground. Hindwing dark with lighter punctiform spots; fringe white. Guatemala. 
G. carisca Schs. (183 h) is smaller than perf ida , the punctiform spots darker than the ground, the yellow- carisca. 
ish white oblique band extends to before the anal angle, the discal spot is rusty brown. Mexico. 
G. minuta B. <£.• McD. (182 e) is still much smaller than carisca which it resembles, though it lacks the minuta. 
light oblique patch to the anal angle. Forewing light ochreous brown, yellowish white at the costal margin, 
shaded brownish black behind the cell; a smoky brown spot at the base of the costal margin, a larger triangular 
one behind it, further spots in the centre of the cell and at the end, and a large one above the centre of the 
inner margin, behind which spots there is white dusting, another white spot in the middle of the distal margin. 
Hindwing dark smoky brown. Arizona. 
G. vassilia Schs. (183 i) is a brown species, the body more whitish; the brown spots on the forewing vassilia. 
are large, one near the base, one behind it and 2 subapical ones; veins striped white; vein 2 terminates into 
the anal angle, a double white stripe below it. Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing stalked, then almost parallel, only 
slightly separated, as in Langsdorfia. Hindwing black with light-edged marginal spots. Guatemala. 
G. plagiata Schs. (= daphne Drc.) (182 f). Forewing dark lilac grey, with distinct rounded dark brown plagiata. 
small spots, scantily scattered over the wing, 1 near the base, 2 in the middle, and 3 subapical ones. Hindwing 
blackish. Mexico; San Salvador; Guatemala; Costa Rica; Panama; Colombia; Venezuela. 
G. pulverosa Hmps. is very similar to plagiata. but all the spots are much smaller, but while in plagiata pulverosa. 
the subapical spots are situate in a straight or slightly concave line, they are in a convex row parallel to the 
distal margin in pulverosa. Lesser Antilles. 
G. pardaraa Schs. (183 i) differs from pulverosa in larger spots arranged in 3 dense rows. Ground colour pardana.
