118 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
at base, otherwise rather straight, apex acute, termen straight, oblique, tornus rather pronounced, cell 
almost one-half, DC? very deeply inbent, SC! anastomosing with C, SC? from stalk of SC?5, anast- 
omosing (sometimes strongly) or connected at a point with SC!, R! separate, R? from near R!, 
M! separate; hindwing with costa rather long, apex rounded, termen from R? straight, tornus acute, 
cell almost one-half, DC? usually incurved, always rather strongly oblique posteriorly, C approximated, 
yet not closely, to cell to beyond one-half, gradually diverging, SC? stalked, R? from near R!, M! separate, 
M? from rather near M! (PI. 2, Fig. 15). 
Early stages unknown.

Pyrochlora. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 2, p. 9o (1895) 2). 
Characters. — Face with slight roughened prominence. Palpus in &' moderate, second joint 
rather long, smooth-scaled, third joint quite small (Q unknown to us, would probably have elongate 
third joint). Tongue present. Antenna in c* bipectinate to little beyond one-half with moderate branches, 
apex minutely ciliated. Pectus and femora hairy. Foretibia short, densely tufted. Hindtibia in gf 
dilated, with hair-pencil and very short terminal process, all spurs present, approximated, tarsus long. 
Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in cf well developed, arising from before very slight basal expansion 
(will certainly be present in Q). Forewing with costa arched, apex moderate, termen nearly straight, 
oblique, cell less than one-half, DC extremely incurved, SC! free, SC* normal, R! well stalked, 
M! separate; hindwing with apex moderate, termen nearly straight, tornal area long, inner margin long, 
cell short, DC? very deeply incurved, becoming very oblique, C rather shortly approximated to cell, 
then rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, M! stalked or approximated, M? from near M!. 
Early stages unknown. 
Apparently differs little in structure from Racheospila, though the coloration and the shape of the 
hindwing — produced to tornus (termen at right angles with costa) — are distinctive; the extreme form 
of the discocellulars and the strongly tufted foretibia are also worthy of note. 
Type of the genus : Pvrochlora rhanis (Cramer) Phalaena Geometra vanis, Cramer (1895). 
Geographical distribution of species. — Neotropical.

1) Diflers from the type in having the palpus quite moderate, not « very short», but agrees well otherwise; SC* anastomoses with SC! before th 
latter parts from C. 
2) Not preoccupied by Z2yrocAloris, Klug (1839).
