3. Genus : Parabarrovia Gibs. 
It likewise agrees in the character with the first section of the genus Agrotiphila (Schoyenia) , but it 
has unspined anterior tibiae, and the upper median and lower radial of the hindwing are forked. Only 1 species: 
P. keelei Gibs. (21 i). Hairing of body black mixed with silvery grey, the wings diaphanous brownish, 
the forewing darker with a whitish strewn discal area and costal margin towards the apex; costal hairing yellow¬ 
ish; the veins are darker brownish, the transverse vein scaled black. The $ is larger and stouter with traces 
of a darker median band. Arctic Canada (North Western Territory, Twit.ya River) in July. 
4. Genus: Orosagrotis Hmps. 
Distinguished from Agrotiphila by a conical, stunted projection on the frons. The male antennae are 
serrate and tuftedly ciliated. Only 2 American species. 
0. incognita Sm. (5 g) is a small, greyish-brown species with an olive tint, black transverse lines, 
small greyish-brown maculae and between them a darkened cell; the longish ring-macula is obliquely situate 
and above open; the subterminal line consists of minute black sagittae. Hindwing yellowish-brown with a discal 
spot and transverse line behind it. British Columbia, Colorado. 
0. montana Morr. (= rigida Sm.) (5 g) differs from the preceding by its smaller size, the transverse 
stripes being bordered with whitish on the averted sides, and above all by a white patch from the coniform 
macula to the posterior transverse line; the ring -macula is round and small; the area behind the postmedian 
line is dusted with a lighter grey. Hindwing darker with white fringes. Colorado. 
5. Genus: Mesembreuxoa Hmps. 
Recognizable by the longer palpi with a porrect last joint, larger round eyes, and by the conical frontal 
projection which in the centre exhibits a vertical horny projection. The male antennae show long, double pinnae. 
The thorax is beside the rough hair clad also with scales. 
M. chilensis Hmps. (5 g) has reddish-brown forewings with darker strewing which forms a dark longi¬ 
tudinal band above the inner-marginal vein; transverse lines sharply dentate, the anterior one double, filled 
up with whitish or distally bordered with whitish, in the marginal area with black sagittae; maculae small, 
light in a somewhat darker ground. Hindwing brownish, towards the margin darker. From Chile (Coquimbo). 
M. melanopis Dyar (5 g) is larger, lighter grey, the transverse lines single, finely dentate black 
without a marginal line, but instead with black and white dotting on the veins. Ring-macula elliptic, pu pi lied 
black, reniform macula very large, distally concave with a black moon-line in the centre and black shading 
in the lower end. Hindwing dirty whitish with darker veins. Alexico. 
M. exsiccata Dyar is uniformly dark grey; proximal transverse line double, feeble, the distal one represen¬ 
ted by black, distally white dots; reniform macula large, black; no ring-macula; coniform macula traceable; 
black marginal dots. Hindwing in the basal area whitish, with grey veins, in the marginal area broad dark 
grey. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Alexico (City). 
M. fasicola Dyar is larger, light grey, subcostally as far as the reniform macula ochreous with pink 
dusting; the proximal lines are absent, the bent distal, dentate line is only traceable; at the costal margin a 
subapical, dark grey, round spot; the median veins in the marginal area whitish. The maculae are light, connec¬ 
ted by a broad, black band enclosing the ring-macula in the lower part. Hindwing semi-diaphanous white, at 
the costal margin grey. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Peru. 
6. Genus; Trlpseuxoa Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding by its stunted proboscis, plain conical frontal projection without 
a longitudinal ridge, the thorax only haired without scales. 1 species: 
T. strigata Hmps. (5g). Ochreous-grey, strewn blackish with black veins, a marginal row of dots, 
and mostly also one in the centre of the cell. Hindwing yellowish white. Argentina. 
7. Genus : Stenagrotis Hmps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi very long-haired, with a long last joint. Eyes with long cilia; $ antennae 
plain, ciliated. Otherwise like the preceding. 
St. edmondsi Btlr. (5h). Forewing brownish-grey, the transverse lines only traceable by single black 
scales. Hindwing brownish-white. Chile.
