Head sordid tan with a narrow median pale stripe which is slightly 
broadened at apex; pronotum tan anteriorly, remainder suffused with red; 
scutellum tan; forewing red with four black claval spots, one near wing base 
(not shown in illustration), one on humeral margin and not extending to 
claval suture, one at midclavus and a small one at claval apex, the last two 
transcommissural and attaining claval suture; corium with four large black 
markings, one at base and extending posteriorly as a convex lobe along claval 
suture, a second extending from costal margin to claval suture and basad 
along latter to connect with midclaval black spot, a third extending com- 
pletely across wing beyond claval apex and connecting with base of the fourth 
marking which is arcuate, extending over the apical cells except for a hyaline 
interruption adjacent to concavity of apical wing margin, with a small hya- 
line triangular costal spot at posterior margin of third marking and one at an- 
terior margin of fourth, second and third black markings with lobate margins; 
hindwing with vein m-cu red margined with white; face, thoracic pleura, and 
legs, yellow to orange yellow. 
Holotype male and one female, Santos, Brazil, November 26, 1894 (H. 
Brauns), one male, Montevideo, Argentina (ZIMH). One female and one 
specimen without abdomen, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CM). One male, ““Organ 
Mt.”’, Brazil, April, 1935 (USNM). 
L. enochra, n. sp., is most closely related to L. scopigera, n. sp. (below) from 
which it can be distinguished by the aedeagal process which is bifid only at 
the tip, but occurring as two rami separate from their bases in scopigera. The 
red markings of the forewings are much less extensive in scopigera (fig. 284p) 
than in enochra.

FIGURE 284, PAGE 355 
Length of male 8.1 mm. Head with median length of crown slightly less 
than two-thirds interocular width and slightly less than one-half transocular 
width; clypeus convex medially, muscle impressions not very distinct. Male 
pygofer not strongly produced, apical margin without process, with a number 
of elongate macrosetae on posterior half and a number of microsetae near ven- 
tral margin, with a brushlike group of close-set large setae arising on mesal 
margin of pygofer near apex and directed mesally; plates not extending 
posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer apex; style extending posteriorly approx- 
imately as far as apex of connective which is Y-shaped with the arms widely 
divergent; aedeagus with shaft as in L. enochra, n. sp. (above), with a pair of 
slender basal processes extending parallel to long axis for part of their length, 
decurved, tapered and acute in their apical one-third; paraphyses as in 
enochra. 
Crown, pronotum, and scutellum (partly obscured by pin) tan; forewing 
brown with a basal and anteapical spot in clavus, the latter transcom- 
missural, a V-shaped transcommissural stripe extending diagonally through 
clavus before its midlength, posteriorly into corium for a short distance, 
thence anterolaterally to costal margin, a diagonal stripe extending from near
