330 LIPTENA. By Dr. C. Aurivillitts. 
A. Forewing on both sides ($) or only beneath (£) with a white subapical band. L. subvariegata. 
B. Forewing without a white subapical band. 
a. Smaller species, 28 to 30 mm. Hindwing above from the base to far beyond the middle and as far 
as the costal margin reddish-yellow. Forewing above with a very large, orange-yellow spot of the 
posterior margin. Both wings beneath before the margin with three dark transverse lines or trans¬ 
verse bands: a thick marginal line close before the margin; a dentate submarginal line and a post- 
discal line represented on the forewing by the broad subapical spot. These transverse lines are narrowly 
separated by the yellow ground-colour and on the forewing posteriorly shortened. Sexes similar. 
*. The black submarginal line beneath on both wings deeply dentated, in area 6 of the forewing 
as distinct as in the other areas. L. similis. 
**. The black submarginal line beneath is rather undulate than dentate, and in the area 6 of the 
forewing indistinct or absent. This area is thereby between the marginal line and the subapical 
band almost one-coloured yellow. L. turbata. 
[}. Larger species, 36 to 40 mm. J hindwing above with a broad, reddish-yellow median band not reaching 
the costal margin; forewing above unicolorously black or only with indistinct, reddish discal spots 
in 2 to 4. $ unknown. 
1. Forewing oblong, above with with traces of yellowish discal spots in 2 to 4. Hindwing beneath 
with a blackish-grey marginal band of 3 mm width. L. tulliana. 
2. Forewing short and broad, above one-coloured black. Hindwing beneath red-brown, without 
a dark marginal band, but with two transverse rows of black spots in the marginal half. 
L. tullia. 
II. Hindwing beneath with a dark brown ground-colour merging into black. 
A. Hinclwing beneath with greyish-yellow merging into reddish spots and usually also with blackish spots. 
The spots are generally not distinctly prominent. Forewing above in the one-colourecl black. 
a. Hindwing beneath at the base of area 1 c with 1 or 2 red, usually black-pupilled spots. Forewing 
above in the $$ behind the discal cell with a red longitudinal stripe not reaching the anal margin. 
Larger species, 35 to 40 mm. 
1. Hind wing in both sexes above in the middle with a red transverse spot reaching neither the base 
nor the margins. L. catalina. 
2. Hindwing in both sexes above one-coloured black or blackish-brown without markings. 
L. o-rubrum. 
[L Hindwing beneath at the base of area 1 c without red, black-pupilled spots, usually with transverse 
rows of black and yellowish spots or indistinctly spotted yellowish. <$. Hindwing above black with 
a broad, orange-yellow costal-marginal stripe. $. Forewirig above with a large orange-yellow spot 
of the posterior margin, reaching vein 4 and then extending as a narrow transverse band almost 
to the costal margin. Hindwing above from the base to beyond the middle orange-yellow. 
L. icleoides. 
L. oblonga. 
L. infima. 
B. Hindwing beneath with numerous white or whitish-yellow, distinctly prominent spots on a black ground. 
a. $. Hindwing above in the middle with an orange-red transverse band. The spot of the posterior 
margin on the forewing above reaches at least area 4. 
1. <$. Forewing above black without markings. $. The spot of the posterior margin in the forewing 
above almost reaches the costal margin. L. helena. 
2. <$. Forewing above with a small, reddish-yellow spot of the posterior margin, only reaching vein 2. 
$. The spot of the posterior margin of the forewing ends in area 4. L. sauberi. 
(i. Hindwing above black without markings. $. The spot of the posterior margin on the forewing 
above is absent or only reaches vein 4. L. modesta. 
L. despecta. 
L. subvariegata 8 m. tfc Ky. (62 e). Forewing above black without markings, beneath black with 
a broad, white subapical band in 4 to 6, three white spots at the costal margin, one orange-yellow longitudinal 
streak at the posterior margin of the discal cell, a fine transverse streak at the cell-end and two united, orange- 
yellow discal spots in 2 and 3. Hindwing above black with a reddish-yellow median transverse band of 4 to 
5 mm width, extending from the proximal margin to vein 6 and being lighter, yellowish at the proximal margin;
