DIAEUS; ONENSES; TIMOCHARES; EBRIETAS. By Dr. M. Deaxjdt. 907 



39. Genus: I>iaeiis G. u. S. 



Very closely allied to Systasea (p. 903) and distinguished by the longer and' more porrect 3rd palpal 

 joint. Costal fold absent. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs and a hair-pencil. On the hindwing the upper 

 median vein rises much nearer at the cell-end. 



D. lacaena Hew. (176 i) is a small, pretty species easily recognizable and in no way raistakahle lacaena. 

 by the white discal area, the red-brown basal area and the blackish-brown apical area with black dentate lines. 

 Mexico to Costa Rica and Panama, and reported as doubtful from Brazil. — f. lacaenina Mab. (Strjr. i. 1.) (176 h) lacaenina. 

 from Colombia (Rio Negro) is somewhat larger and darker. 



D. variegata P^dfe, (176 i) is similarly marked, but much darker, monotonously greyish -brown -with variegata. 

 an olive tiiat in the ground-colour, without the red-broAvn apical spot. Beneath the colour is more whitish. From 



Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 



40. Genus : Oneuises G. u. S. 



Well distinguished by the forewing being long-dentate on the median veins; the anal angle extended 

 lilce a lobe! Cell of forewing long and broad, costal fold absent. Hindwing likewise with 2 teeth on the upper 

 median and upper radial. Antennal club long turned round. Palpi long porrect, the horizontal terminal joint 

 hidden. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs and a hair-pencil. Only one species: 



0. hyalophora Fldr. (176 i) is unmistakable for its large vitreous areas. From- Mexico tcr Panama, hyaloplwra. 

 reported also from Texas. 



41. Genus : Timochares G. u. S. 



Separa.ted from the preceding genus by the entirely margined wings with a somewhat stunted apex 

 of the forewing, with a very long costal fold. The horizontal palpal terminal joint is longer porrect. 



T. trifasciatus Hew. (= liemula H.-Schdff.) (177 a) is pale brownish, the hindwing lighter yellovidsh IrvfasciMtus. 

 with 3 oblique, undulately dentate transverse lines. The - ground-colour is variable, and dark '(= obscurior obseurior. 

 form, nov.) (176 i) and light forms fly together at the same places. From Mexico throngh the whole of South 

 America to Argentina. 



T. ruptifasciatus Plotz (177 a) is simila^r, but the transverse lin^s are broken up into macular' bands, ruptifascia- 

 Mexico. '"^• 



42. Genus: Ebrietas G. u. 8. 



In the veins correspondmg with the preceding gen^is, but the shape of the wings is much broader, the 

 proximal margin is somewhat concave; the costal-marginal vein terminates before the cell-end, in Timocliares 

 a little behind it. The 3rd palpal joint is, somewhat longer. 



E. osyrls Stgr. (177 a) is a well-known species, easily recognizable by the orange-yellow anal part of osyris. 

 the hindwing beneath which is traversed by brown undulate lines ; the apex of the forewing is likewise somewhat 

 orange beneath. Above deep blackish-brown with black macular bands and cell-spots. Mexico to the Amazon. 



E. infanda Btlr. (= perfidus Mschlr., patens Prittiv., bodia Plotz) (177 a) is above very similar, inianda. 

 but the hindwing beneath is quite brown, only somewhat lighter than above. The forewing is beloM" the apex 

 somewhat more deeply excised. Colombia, Peru. 



E. undulatus H.-Schdff. {== anacreon^Sig'r., tortricinus PZdte) (177 b) is smaller than the preceding, with undulatus. 

 an intense vriolet tint, the macular bands deep velvety black, also beneath much darker, more blackish violettish- 

 brown. Mexico to South Brazil. — In Guiana and Bolivia flies a very characteristic form: evanidus Mab. (177 b). cvanidus. 

 The blackish base is distally bordered by a straight ashy-grey band; the black median band is complete and 

 forms in its centre a more or less angular spot, whereas the two distal bauds are almost or entirely absent, 

 the distal one being mostly indicated only by spots at the proximal margin , the proximal one at the costal 

 margin. 



E. livius Mab. (Stgr. i. 1.) agrees with undulatus {177 h) in the size and colour; the marginal band Uviiis. 

 is narrow, spotted, the inner-marginal spot small; the postmedian band is double at the apex, thin, united 

 with the 3rd in the cell. In the submedian area there is a straight band near the base, separated from the black 

 base only by a scarcely lighter band. Hindwing with 3 rather broad black bairds, the marginal one more spotted
