New World generally. In Coll. B. M. 



We have an immense series of this very variable species, so 

 that there is no doubt whatever as to the identity of the named 

 sports recorded in the above synonymy. The genus Thermesia 

 appears to be a small one, members of at least half a dozen 

 genera having hitherto been wrongly referred to it. 



Epistis, Hiihner. 

 Hypenaria, Guenee. 

 This genus is actually nearly allied to Thermesia, but differs 

 in having a little tuft or fringe on the upper surface at the distal 

 extremity of the third palpal joint, which gives it an obliquely 

 truncated or sometimes a notched appearance ; the antennae of 

 the males also are pectinated and ciliated. Owing to the slender 

 character of the abdomen in the females, several of them have 

 been described as males.
