This is another species closely related to griseicollis and may 

 tentatively be placed in Oncocncmis. It was first figured as sectiloides 

 and contrasted to sectilis; but afterward described and figured as 

 suhtilis. 



CoPANARTA Grote. 



Type C aurea Grote. 



1895, Grote, Abh. Nat. Ver. Bremen, XTV, 111, type designated aurea. 



1910, Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M., IX, 492, type designated aurea. 



Apparently this genus is very closely allied to Oncocnemis. O. 

 corrusca may eventually be placed in it; or the two genera may be 

 united, as Smith placed them (1903, Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XI, 10). 



The eyes are lashed after the fashion of Oncocnemis; only a 

 slight difference in the claws on the fore tibiae separating it. Hamp- 

 son may have possessed poor material from which the lashes had been 

 rubbed, as he placed Copanarta in the "Acronyctinse" ^Apatelinae. 



Tentatively it seems best to hold the two genera distinct, placing 

 Copanarta directly after Oncocnemis in the Cuculliinae. 



Copanarta nigerrima Sm. 



1903, Sm., Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XI, 10, Oncocnemis. 



1910, Hamp., Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M., IX, 493, aurea ab. 1, Copanarta. 



1912, B. & McD., Contr. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. A., I, (4), 55, pi. XXVI, f. 6, 



"Copanasta {Pseudanarta)"{\) . 

 1917, B. & McD., Check List, p. 74, No. 286Sa, aurea race, Copanarta. 

 Appears to be a distinct species. 



Stylopoda Sm. 



Type S. cephalic a Sm. 



1891, Sm., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XVIII, 131, cephalica sole species and 

 therefore type. 



Stylopoda cephalica Sm. 



1891, Sm., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XVIII, 131, Stylopoda. 



This species possesses small, somewhat ovate, heavily lashed eyes ; 

 and should be placed in the Cuculliinae. 



The genus appears an offshoot of Oncocncmis or some similar 

 ancestry and may be placed after Copanarta following Oncocnemis.
