Hah. Paraguay. 



Holotype, ^, San Bernardino (Fiebrig). 



Type in the collection of the Vienna Museum. 



Eriocera caminaria (Wiedemann). 



1828. Limnohia caminaria Wiedemann; Aussereur. zweifl. 

 Ins., Th. I, p. 31. 



The true status of Eriocera caminaria has been in doubt 

 since Schiner re-described the species in the " Keise 

 Novara," p. 42. The holotype of caminaria and the 

 material discussed by Schiner are before rne, and it is 

 readily apparent that Schiner's species has little in common 

 with true caminaria. It is described elsewhere in this 

 paper as a new species, E. jyerlaeta. The following re- 

 description of AViedemann's type is here given to supplement 

 the rather brief original description. 



The antennae of the type are lacking; a single leg 

 persists (a fore leg, broken at the metatarsus). 



Female. — Length about 10 mm. ; wing 10-2 mm. 



Fore leg, femur, 5-4 mm. ; tibia, 6-3 mm. 



Head entirely orange, the ventral surface only a little darker than
