maculation of the two sexes. It is possible that he described only 
the male. The male was labeled as type by Hampson. That 
specimen is selected as lectotype, and it has been so labeled in the 
British Museum (Natural History).

Hampson (1920) placed klagesi Jordan as a synonym of walkeri 
and treated tucumanus as a subspecies of it. I have already indi- 
cated that klagesi is a species distinct from walkert and tucumanus. 
For the present it seems best to leave tucwmanus as a subspecies of 
walkert. The forewing of the known males of tucumanus have much 
more white than is indicated for walkeri. The determination of the 
actual status of twewmanus undoubtedly will require additional 
material and further revisional and biological studies. Length of 
the forewing: male, 14 mm.; female, 18 to 23 mm. Male and female 
are illustrated in figures 1 and 2. 
The type series is in the British Museum (Natural History) via 
the Rothschild collection. The specimen labeled type is selected as 
lectotype and has been so labeled. There are 2 males and 18 females 
in the collection of the U.S. National Museum. Eight of the females 
in this collection belong to the dark form named fusca by Jordan. 
All known specimens are from Tucumin, Argentina. 
Euscirrhopterus discifera Hampson 
Euschirropterus [sic] discifera Hampson, 1901, Catalogue of the Lepidoptera 
Phalaenae in the British Museum, vol. 3, p. 621, pl. 51, fig. 9.—Strand, 
1912, Lepidopterorum catalogus, pt. 5, p. 28.—Draudt, 1919, in Seitz, Die 
Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde, vol. 7, p. 4, pl. 1, row a. 
The illustrations provided by Hampson and Draudt will permit 
the identification of this species. The forewing has the basal dark 
mark and the reniform spot nearly black, darker than the dark distal 
part of the wing; the orbicular spot may be present or absent; the 
collar dark brown, nearly black, contrasting with the white head and 
gray thoracic scaling. Males are unknown. Length of the forewing 
female, 20 to 23 mm. 
The type, a female from Santa Catarina, Brazil, is in the British 
Museum (Natural History). There are nine females, all from the 
type locality, in the U.S. National Museum.
