Genus HORAMA Hubner 
Ten species compose this genus, of which only one is found 
within the limits of the United States. 
(i) Horama texana Grote, Plate XIII, Fig. 9, $ . (The 
Texan Wasp-moth.) 
No difficulty should be experienced in identifying this moth 
by the help of the figure which is given. 
Genus EUCEREON Hubner 
Sixty-two species, all inhabiting the hot lands of North and 
South America, are assigned by Hampson to this genus. The 
only one thus far known to occur within the limits of the 
United States is figured on our plate. 
(1) Eucereon confine Herrich-Schaeffer, Plate XIII, Fig. 10, 
$ . (The Floridan Eucereon.) 
Syn. Carolina Henry Edwards. 
This interesting little moth, which was described by Henry 
Edwards under the name Nelphe Carolina , had been figured by 
Herrich-Schaeffer under the specific name above cited thirty-two 
years before. It is rare in Florida, but is common in the 
Antilles, Mexico, and Central America. 
Genus LYMIRE Walker 
This is a small genus comprehending only five species. Its 
only representant within our borders was originally assigned by 
Grote to the genus Scepsis, which it superficially resembles. 
(1) Lymire edwardsi Grote, Plate XIII, Fig. II, $. 
(Edwards’ Wasp-moth.) 
The larval stages, thanks to the labors of Dr. H. G. Dyar, are 
known. The caterpillar feeds upon Ficus pedunculata. The 
insect, when pupating, spins a small cocoon of hair and silk.
