Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus longish to very long, second joint rather long, shortly to 
moderately rough-scaled, third joint smooth, exposed, in C not minute, in 9 long to very long. Tongue 
present. Antenna over one-half, in c bipectinate to about two-thirds, with moderate branches (in 
Section VI to beyond three-fourths with longer branches), in Q occasionally bipectinate usually nearly 
simple. Pectus hairy. Femora glabrous or nearly so. Hindtibia in cf typically dilated with strong 
hair-pencil and moderate terminal process, in both sexes with all spurs, the medians sometimes short, 
especially in the cf, but never aborted. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in gf slender, from before 
well-marked basal expansion, in Q wanting. Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex acute, termen 
oblique, slightly convex (exceptionally apex is falcate, termen slightly concave anteriorly, sibbous 
posteriorly), cell less than one-half, DC incurved, SC! free, SC? normal, R! connate or just separate; 
M! separate; hindwing somewhat variable in shape, termen rounded, elbowed, or even with a short tail 
at R?, inner margin rather long, cell more or less ahort, DC? somewhat incurved, oblique posteriorly, 
C approximated shortly to cell, or to nearly one-half, rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, M! usually separate, 
occasionally connate or short-stalked. 
LaRva. — Brown, protectively assimilated to withered leaf, the first &ve abdominal segments 
apparently with enormously extended dorso-lateral protuberances, forming, from the dorsal view, a 
continuous plate (Sepp, Swrin. Vlind. p. 39, t. 16, on figraria, a lost species apparently near albiceps and 
lucens, but with a reddish basal patch like Tachyphyle basiflaga ; hardly possibly in reality a broad-winged 
Tachyphyle). 
Type of the genus : P/rudocentra pupillata, Warren (1895, 1897). 
Geographical distribution of species. — Neotropical; Section VI localized in the W. Indies. 
SECTION I. — c palpus with third joint rather short; c hindleg strongly dilated, with median 
spurs very short, terminal process developed; Q9 antenna not bipectinate; hindwing 
with M! separate (PArudocentra, Warren).
