of $ not dilated. Palpus of $ with 3rd joint very long. Differs from subrufescens in its considerably larger 
size, shorter pectinations and in having the normal venation of Chloropteryx; the blotches beneath faint 
(pinkish) or obsolete. Carabaya: La Oroya and Tinguri (Ockenden), the type from the former locality, in 
Mus. Tring. Colombia: Upper Rio Negro. 
Ch. pallescens Warr. (8 f) agrees with subrubens in the simple $ hindleg but is larger, paler and greener, pallescem. 
apex of forewing and tail of hindwing rather acute. Underside pale, without blotches or pink suffusions, the 
costal edge of the forewing black proximally. $ unknown. Oconeque, Carabaya, at 7000 feet. 
Ch. stigniatica Warr. (8f) differs chiefly from pallescens in its strong black cell-dots. A still larger stigmaiica. 
species, with dark abdominal spots. Base of costa beneath ochreous; at most with some black speckling. 
Hindleg of <$ as in the two preceding. The type was from Paraguay, but a good series has since been obtained 
from Peru and Colombia; also known from S. E. Brazil. 
Ch. anisoctena Prout (8f). Confusingly similar to fontana and subrubens, unless account be taken of anisodena. 
the antenna, which is shortly (in the $ very shortly) pectinate on the inner side but merely dentate (<£) or 
almost simple ($) on the outer. Hindtibia of $ with strong pencil and terminal process. Apical blotch (or 
streak) of hindwing narrow but strong. Palpus of $ with 3rd joint strongly elongate. Venezuela, Guianas, 
Amazons, S. E. Peru and Paraguay, the type from the first-named country. 
Ch. subrufescens Warr. (8 f). A very small species, named from its strongly reddish (or, rather, deep subrufes- 
flesh-coloured) forewing beneath. Antenna of $ with moderate pectinations, of $ simple. Hindleg of simple. 
Venation of forewing very characteristic, the 1st subcostal being stalked beyond the 1st radial, which is also 
stalked. Terminal blotches beneath developed. French and British Guiana and occasionally in Colombia. 
32. Genus : Eualloea Warr. 
A development of Ghlorissa, with the same hindtibial structure (2 spurs and a pencil in the <J, 4 spurs 
in the $) but with short and simple q antenna; anteriorly excavated termen of forewing; shortish palpus in 
the $, etc. In the relatively large size and in the shape it recalls the Episothalma of India, but the abdomen 
is not crested. One species. 
E. subbifasciata cannot be confused with any other species. I have little material before me, bnt there subbifascia- 
seem to be two races. — subbifasciata Warr. (8 f) has both the lines of the hindwing (postmedian and subterminal) ia - 
developed on the whiter underside. S. E. Peru. — suffusa Warr., from Fonte Boa, is more uniformly suffused suffusa. 
above and lacks the postmedian on the hindwing beneath. 
33. Genus: IS'eocrasis Warr. 
Shape still more extreme than in Eualloea, antenna of pectinate. Hindlegs lost in the unique type; 
$ unknown to me. May probably prove a mere shape-section of Chloropteryx, but eximia Dogn., which is 
provisionally regarded as congeneric, has 4 spurs on the $ hindtibia. 
N. eximia Dogn. Face broad and rounded. Antennal pectinations short, subclaviform. Hindtibia with e.vimia. 
very short process. “23 mm. Uniform dark green, each wing with a small brown cell-dot and 2 yellowish 
lines; the first, antemedian, rounded; the second, elbowed beyond the cell on the forewing and opposite the 
central angle on the hindwing. Costa brown, terminal line brown, fringes brown cut with yellowish.” Loja, 
1 <$. Facies of a Hemithea or dark Chloropteryx. 
N. obscurata Warr. (8 f). Of this species, also, only the type is known and this is not in perfect condition, obscumta. 
but our figure should make it recognizable. Pectinations shortish-moderate, not at all claviform. Underside 
pale, especially the hindwing; both wings with cell-spot stronger than above, and with a broad dark subterminal 
band, on the hindwing complete, on the forewing weakening from 3rd radial forward, not reaching the costa.

34. Genus; Proliydata Schaus. 
This genus and the three which follow form a very natural group. Small, delicately-built moths with 
more or less strongly hyaline wings. Antenna pectinate in the £ and often in the $. Venation of forewing 
characteristic, in that the 2nd subcostal is stalked beyond the 5th. Prohydata, which is hardly more than a 
section of Hydata, agrees therewith in having all the spurs present on the hindtibia (the 3 generally also with 
a long spur-like process) and only differs in that the costal of the hindwing only anastomoses very slightly, 
if at all, with the subcostal. Hindwing rather irregular in shape, dentate at the 1st and generallv at the 3rd
