M. faseolaria Guen. (= fasceolaria Pack., perviridaria Pack., fasciolaria Hulst) (8 1) may be likened to faseolaria. 
a small Chlorosea (often much smaller than the specimen which we figure). Face, palpus and foreleg bright 
rosy. Abdomen without dorsal ornamentation. Apex of forewing rather blunt. Distributed in California. 
M. graefiaria Hulst ( = eutraphes Prout). Considerably larger than faseolaria (8 1), distal margin of fore- graefiaria. 
wing slightly more oblique, making the apex appear more pointed; palpus green, beneath white, only the 
extreme tip reddish; crown of head and costa of forewing also without the red lines which are observable in 
faseolaria ; groundcolour of forewing somewhat lighter green than in that species. Hglst’s description was 
unintelligible and his type was faded almost white; we are indebted to Barnes and McDunnough for the 
synonymy. Nevada (type), Utah (type of eutraphes) and California. 
47. Genus: Anoinphax Warr. 
Palpus in both sexes very short. Tongue rudimentary. Antenna in both sexes pectinate almost to 
the apex, the branches long in the <$. Hindtibia with terminal spurs only. Abdomen rather slender, not crested. 
Forewing with venation normal, 1st median well separate. Hindwing with costa rather long, costal vein ap¬ 
proximated to cell for a considerable distance but without anastomosis, 1st median well separate. As with 
the greater part of the Chilian fauna, this genus shows little affinity with those of the rest of the continent. 
There is only one species. 
A. gnoma Bull. (8 1). Readily known by the structure, shape, absence of lines and white hindwing, gnoma. 
Larva slender, firm, twig-like, the head and probaly the prothorax with anterior bifid pointed projection. 
Chili, Patagonia and N. W. Argentina (Salta). 
48. Genus: Eucrostes Hb. 
Palpus moderate, in $ with 3rd joint more or less elongate. Antenna pectinate in both sexes. Hind- 
tibia with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Forewing with 1st subcostal anastomosing with or 
running into costal. Hindwing with cell rather short, costal vein anastomosing at a point, 1st median stalked. 
A widely distributed Old-World genus of small but relatively robust moths of pretty uniform structure and 
coloration; a single species — so far as it is at present understood - has unaccountably obtained a wide dis¬ 
tribution in the West Indies and South America, though nowhere common. See further Vol. 4, p. 33. 
E. dominicaria Guen. (8i). Very similar to the European indigenaria Vill. but smaller, perhaps of a domini- 
more yellowish green; costal margin of forewing broadly yellow; cell-dot of hindwing larger than in indigenaria; 
forewing beneath strongly suffused with red anteriorly. Haiti (type) and doubtless some others of the West 
Indies; also known from Florida, Venezuela, Bahia and even Bolivia. 
49. Genus: Umcuniia gen. nov. 
Palpus in $ short. Tongue developed. Antenna of $ (probably also of §) pectinate, the branches long, 
apex not pectinate. Hindtibia slender, with terminal spurs only. Abdomen with glossy crests. Frenulum 
wanting. Forewing with cell about y 2 , 1st subcostal from cell, anastomosing rather strongly with costal, 
2nd—5th long-stalked, the 2nd separating first, 1st radial shortly stalked, 1st median just separate. Hindwing 
with tennen bent at 3rd radial, slightly concave before the bend, straightish behind it; cell not quite x / 2 , costal 
closely approximated to subcostal for a short distance near base, moderately rapidly diverging, 2nd subcostal 
stalked for nearly half its length, 1st median very shortly stalked. Type of the genus: Urucumia acymanta 
sp. n. Probably derived from the Oospila group by the loss of the frenulum. 
U. acymanta sp. n. (8 h). Face dull pale reddish, the lower third whitish. Vertex and antennal shaft acymanta. 
white. Abdominal crests glossy purple-red. Bright green, costal edge of forewing narrowly buff; cell-dots 
small, red; the fine red terminal line slightly interrupted at the veins; fringes whitish buff with rather large 
but not very strong red spots opposite the veins. Underside whitish green, the forewing with extended proximal 
flush of dull reddish, the hindwing with traces of the cell-dot. Matto Grosso: Urucum, 15 miles S. of Corumba, 
650—900 feet, 18—21 April 1927 (C. L. Collenette), 4 collected for Mr. J. J. Joicey. There is also a 
Matto Grosso $ (P. Germain, 1886) in Mus. Brit-., ex coll. Oberthur. 
U. (?) semicaudata Prout (8 g). Less small, palpus shorter still, tongue slighter, forewing with tennen semicauda- 
more sinuous, 1st median just stalked, hinclwing more strongly angled. Distinguishable at a glance by the ta 
terminal blotches. In the absence of the $ the position is not quite certain. Brazil: Espiritu Santo, 1
