exposed, and the infra-clypeal plate is prominent, not exceeded by the 

 short labial palpi, and Fala, where the cup has a strong tubercle. Basil- 

 odes has the terminal palpal article conical and prominent, and apparently 

 differs from the rest in this respect. 



Chamaeclea Gr. (1883). 

 Type: C. Pernana Gr. 



Allied to the genera typical of the Stiriiiue by the bulging clypeus 

 and Plusia-shaped wings. Front with a slight depression, rising in the 

 middle. Vestiture scaly. Tibia unarmed ; in all the examples I have 

 seen the fore legs are broken off. Fore Avings wide, produced at internal 

 angle. The tegulae are not deflected ; the thorax short. ^ antennre 

 simple. 



I. Pernana Gr. Arizona. This genus is curious for the way in which 

 Chamaechi Pernana mimics Charicica Delphinii. 



ClRRHOPHANliS Gr. (1872). 



Type : C. Triangulifer Gr. 



The eyes are full, naked, unlashed. The clypeus has a central 

 rounded tubercle. The vestiture consists of hair like scales with broader 

 ones, arranged like shingles, rising from the thorax, which is short and in 

 shape allies the moth to this group. The fore tibige are also not truncate, 

 but as long as in the preceding genera and unarmed. The parts of the 

 thorax resemble the preceding genera, but there is a divided posterior 

 tuft. The patagia are not as deflected as in PIagioiui)iiiciis, but do not 

 lie close to the thorax. The female ovipositor is not exserted. The 

 abdomen is untufted. The labial palpi have the terminal joint concealed 

 and are not unlike though longer, tlie i>alpi of the genera separated here 

 from jBasi/odes, but unlike that genus. The antennre have the basal joint 

 scaled. The palpi are rather thickly haired. The tibi;^ are unarmed. 

 Wings ample, without tooth, rounded exteriorly, with blunt apices, and 

 running in a little and forming a prominent angle at internal margin. The 

 genus seems to be somewhat intermediate between the preceding and 

 Plusia. The species is golden-yellow with orange-brown lines disposed 

 somewhat like the European Charicica Dclpliinii.
