E. sancti-johannis Steph. (= sanctae-johannis Wkr.) (If) is an unmistakable lepidopteron. Forewing sanclijohan- 
white, in the basal half with olive-green and slate-coloured blue, in the marginal half more violettish-purple 
markings. Hindwing and abdomen uni-coloured yellow. The first specimen, the type, was taken in England 
(Horsleydown); otherwise the species is only known from Mexico. 
E. grata F. (= assimilis Brd.) (If) has much more extensively white forewings, and the hindwing grata. 
shows a purple marginal band. United States. — The larva is whitish, the head, neck and anal valve red as 
well as transverse stripes across all the rings, wherein are the black tubercles; between them there are several 
purple transverse lines. It lives on the wild vine. 
E. cypris Grt. is conspicuous by its uni-coloured vermilion hindwings, but according to the description cypris. 
it seems otherwise to be allied to grata and unio, though the ground of the forewing is not white, but cream- 
coloured. Described according to 1 $ from Assumption. 
E. brevipennis Stretch. (If) is very closely allied to the following, but easily discernible by the black brevipennis. 
cell-spot of the orange-yellow hindwing with a purple-red marginal band. California. — The larva is white, 
on each ring with an orange transverse band in which are the black tubercles; between there are numerous 
black transverse lines; head reddish-brown, spotted black, neck white, anal valve orange. 
E. unio Hbn. (If) as the preceding, but the pale yellow hindwing is without the black cliscal luna. unio. 
United States. — The* larva likewise resembles that of brevipennis, but its ground-colour is more yellowish ; 
it lives on Vitis and Epilobium. 
16. Genus: Caularis Wkr. 
The 2 species of this genus are separated from the preceding by the long-haired 2nd palpal joint, bi- 
combed antennae in the a coniform frontal projection and long-haired tibiae. No difference in the neuration. 
C. undulans Wkr. (= bartholomaei Bsd.) (1 g). Forewing white, mixed with olive-brown, most undulans. 
densely so at the costal margin and proximal margin; a triangular spot in the basal half of the proximal margin, 
the 2 maculae pupilled silvery blue and a curved, broad, posterior transverse band are olive-brown. Hindwing 
light orange-yellow with a red marginal band. Jamaica; Hayti; St. Bartholomy. 
C. lunata Hmps. (1 f) shows on its olive-brown ground a broad, white, discal longitudinal band termina- lunata. 
ting into the costal margin before the apex of the forewing; the cell-maculae are dark olive pupilled silvery; 
the posterior transverse line is of a deep red, inside bordered with white; at the anal angle a white spot. Hind¬ 
wing yellowish-white with a large dark discal luna and a purple marginal band. Bahamas. 
17. Genus: Eroclia Wkr. 
Palpi extended straight forward, scarcely projecting beyond the frons, haired downward; frontal pro¬ 
jection rounded with a coniform continuation and a horny plate beneath it. <$ antennae bicombed, in the apical 
third serrate or also only ciliated (in semiviridis). Thorax rather long-haired, intermixed with scales. Tibiae 
haired moderately long. Base of abdomen with a thick hair-tuft. All the rest without any peculiarities. 
E. dolens Drc. (1 g) is a pretty species almost resembling a Momina: forewing creamy-white, densely dolens. 
dusted with a chocolate colour; before the proximal and behind the distal, very much bent, dentate black 
transverse stripes the ground-colour remains white; the maculae and a dentate band before the speckled fringes 
are black. Hinclwing pale yellowish, with a dark postmedian line, the anal tuft is likewise yellowish, the rest 
of the abdomen black. Peru and Bolivia. 
E. trita Drc. (5 b) extremely approximates dolens , but it is more thinly scaled, more grey. The hind- trita. 
wing is cream-coloured with a fine black marginal line and white fringes; anal tuft more rust-coloured. Peru 
and Bolivia at altitudes of 9 to 10 000 ft. 
E. picta spec. nov. (5 b). Forewing creamy-white, at the costal margin, proximal margin and border picta. 
black, thickly strewn with bluish-white, chalky scales, like the space between the median vein and lower radial 
vein as well as the ring-shaped and reniform macula; a bent posterior transverse line surrounds the reniform 
macula in a large bow. Three longitudinal patches in the basal area at the costal margin, proximal margin 
and below the median, as well as 7 oval marginal spots are coppery-bronze; the black fringes are speckled white 
at the base. Hindwing black with a white discal spot in the in the $ quite black; a small spot in the middle 
of the costal margin is orange-yellow. Abdomen black with an ochreous-yellow anal tuft. Described accor¬ 
ding to a couple from Coroico (Bolivia) from the Coll. Fassl. 
E. leucodisca Hmps. (1 i) has in the $ combed, in the S serrate antennae. In contrast with the leucodisca. 
similar species the hindwing being white in the disc is not traversed by black veins. Described from Peru.
