878 CABARES; EPHYRIADES; TYPHEDANUS; CAECINA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



pmulUia. C putictilia Ploiz (170 e) is closely allied to calchas, but smaller; above the small costal-marginal 



spots of the forewing are altogether absent, beneath there are 2 light strigiform spots before and close behind 

 the middle. Hindwing violettish-brown with 2 dark brown sinuate transverse bands, the distal one very 

 broad. Marginal area not darker. Santarem. 

 phlius. C. phlius Plotz resembles eluina (170 e, f), but it is still larger, more blackish-grey; instead of the 



discal spots a black cell-end spot and one below it; on the forewing an antemarginal, irregular macular 

 band partly spotted white outside. Hindwing as in eluina. Brazil. 



33. Genus: Cabares G. d- S. 



Chiefly distinguished by the forewing being slightly angled below the apex, so that the apex looks 

 somewhat cut off, and by the forewing being angled in the middle. Only 3 species. 



potrillo. C. potrillo Liic. (170 f) looks above like the hyaline-spotted species of the preceding genus, but the 



discal hyaline spots form more a narrow oblique band. Beneath the forewing is in the middle light greyish- 

 brownish, the hindwing lilac-grey with 2 brown transverse bands, the distal one of which is cloudily widened 

 towards the margin. Fringes dark brown. Mexico, Central-America, Cuba. 



enops. C. enops G. d' S. (172 a) looks somewhat lilce a small potrillo without the discal hyaline spots in the 



cell and above it, but instead there is a dark spot at the cell-end. Under sm-face likewise somewhat similar, 

 but the more yellowish hindwing is without the distal median band, instead of which there is an ante- 

 marginal row of moon-spots. Known from Mexico and Honduras. 



nicola. C. tlicola Plotz (170 f) somewhat resembles potrillo, the discal band of hyaline spots is shortened, it 



does not reach the costal margin nor has it any small spot below the lower median vein. The under surface 

 is more imi-coloured, the transverse bands are much narrower. Para. 



34. Genus: Epli^-riacles Hbn. 



Costal fold absent. On the hindwing the upper median vein rises close at the lower cell-angle, the lower 

 one very close to it. Otherwise very much like the preceding genus, but the wings without the feeble angles. 



otrcus. E. otreus Or. (= clericus F., zephodes Hbn.) (172 a) is a large, brown species with 3 broad, faded 



darker transverse bands on both wings; the forewing exhibits in the disc behind the cell two large white 

 hyaline spots forming an oblique band, and behind them 6 subapical spots arranged in a bow. Beneath very 

 similar. South America. 



pekahia. E. pekahia Hew. is above dark greyish-brown, at the distal margin and a postmedian transverse band 



on both wings darker brown. On the forewing there are 8 small, white hyaline spots: 2 in the middle, 



3 in a line rectangular to the costal margin behind them, and 3 small subapical spots. Beneath coloured and 

 marked the same. Expanse of wings: ly^ inches. From Venezuela. 



35. Genus: Typheilaiiiis Btlr. 



Here the ^J shows a hair-tuft on the hindwing above, the costal fold being absent. Tlie apex of the 

 forewing is rather sharp; the anal angle of the hindwing is extended, in umber very long. The upper 

 median vein rises on the hinwing before the cell-end, the lower one close at the base. Only 2 species. 



vmber. T. uitlber H.-Schdff. (= zephus Btlr.) (170 f). Above olive-brown with darker transverse bands, 



4 apical hyaline spots, 3 hyaline spots below each other in the middle of the costal margin and 2 somewhat 

 larger ones outside and below them obliquely below each other. Beneath marked the same, but the transvei-se 

 bands are here more distinctly prominent, since the ground is lighter, strewn somewhat darker. Venezuela. 



alladius. J, alladius G. db S. (170f, g) looks exactly like a small Teleg. anaphus (167a): brown, with darker, 



faded transverse bands and above with a narrowly, beneath broadly yellow anal angle of the hindwing. 

 Mexico to Colombia. 



36. Genus: Caeciua Hew. 



This genus, in contrast with the preceding genus, has beside the hair-tuft on the hinwing above 

 also a costal fold. The forewing has below the apex a slight, somewhat rounded angle, below it the margin is 

 concave. The antennal club is ensiform.
