Snh-Faw'l)/ Firrinoc. 51 



Body more slender tlian in Pnic/cojiterjp', less hairy ; 

 palpi densely hairy ; antennae rather shorter, with coni- 

 ]iressed club : abdomen without anal hooks. 



Tlie above genus is very difficult to characterize on 

 account of slight variations in neuration between closely 

 allied species, especially between A. Notha and A. Conjtia 

 (formerly referred to the genus Euterpe) whieli doubtless 

 belong to this group. 



GENUS 36. METAPORIA. Butler. 



Type M. Agathoii. G. E. Gray. 



Frontwings subpyriform ; second sultcostal not so near 

 end of cell as in Aporin : upper disco-cellular oblique, 

 nearly as long as lower which is perpendicular and feebly 

 arched ; second and third median l^ranches rather near 

 together. 



Hindwings subpyriform ; the cell broader, less pointed ; 

 disco-cellulars of equal length, the upper oblique, the lower 

 less so. 



Body moderately hairy ; palpi slender, hairy beneath ; 

 antennae with distinct flattened club. 



GENUS 37. SYNCHLOi:. Htthncr. 



Type *S'. Callidiee. Esper. 



Frontwings subtriangular ; upper disco-cellular al:>out 

 half the length of lower, oblique ; lower disco-cellular 

 angulated, nearly perpendicular. 



Hindwings. Upper disco-cellular half the length of lower, 

 oblique ; lower disco-cellular much less ol)lique, and more 

 or less arched. 



Body hairy ; palpi slender, hairy l)eneatli ; antennaj with 

 more or less distinct flattened club. 



The Monvsfe group of Tropical America with S. Brassiex 

 and allies will come into this genus. 



GENUS 38. TATOCHILA. Butler. 



Type T. Autodyee. Hiibner. 



Frontwings. Upper disco- cellular one third the length 

 of lower, ol)lique, lower slightly arched, nearly perpen- 

 dicular. 



Hindwings. First subcostal very much arched, second and 

 third just beyond and near together ; upper disco-cellular 

 about one fifth the length of lower, very oblique ; lower 

 disco-cellular less ol)lique and feel:)lv angulated.
