Genus CLEMENSIA Packard 



To this genus Sir George F. Hampson refers a dozen species. 

 All of these are inhabitants of the hot lands of America, except 

 the species we figure. Cistheiie laciea Stretch is by Hampson 

 referred to the genus Illice. Dr. Dyar places it in the genus 

 Clemensia. The species is unknown to the writer, and does 

 not exist in any collection which he has examined, so that we 

 shall not attempt to discuss the vexed question of its proper 

 location.

Genus ILLICE Walker 

 This is a moderately large genus comprising nearly thirty 

 species, the most of which are found in tropical America. 

 It has been subdivided into three sections, or subgenera, by 

 Hampson. In the second section, equivalent to O^ouadia, a 

 genus erected by Dyar, are placed those species, in which
