ARCTIIDAE AND CTENUCHIDAE FORMERLY IN AUTOMOLIS 73 



Strand (1919 : 23), presumably inadvertently, listed lobifer Herrich-Schaffer 

 and 'incerta Druce' as junior synonyms of rhodographa Dognin, not of reducta 

 Walker [Sutonocrea]. Travassos (1944a : 302) re-established lobifer and incerta 

 Walker as the valid names of two distinct species of the genus Sutonocrea Butler.

Eupseudosoma aberrans Schaus (see Watson, 1971) was found by Blest (1964) 

 to have a low threshold for sound production in response to tactile stimuli and to 

 produce either the type of display in which the wings are alternately depressed
