coniform macula large, grey, encircled with black. The proximal transverse line is extinct, the distal one 
dentate, light; in the marginal area black sagittae, proximally bordered with light. Hindwing diaphanous 
grey. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Peru. 
P. camalpa Dyar. Forewing purple grey, in the basal area lighter grey; the light proximal transverse 
line is straight, bordered with blackish and forms 3 flat bows; the ring-macula is large, pear-shaped, grey, the 
reniform macula likewise light, pupilled darker, the cell between them darkened; the distal transverse line 
is light, proximally darker; undulate line irregular, proximally dark. Hindwing grey with lighter fringes. 
Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Mexico (City). 
9. Genus: Euxoa Hbn. 
Chiefly distinguished from the preceding genus by the much longer and more slender spines of the 
anterior tibiae; the thorax exhibits in front and behind loose tufts. The male antennae show longer or shorter 
pinnae. This genus contains an immense number of species, in the arrangement of which we mainly follow 
the excellent studies by Barnes and Me Dunnotjgh who have greatly improved Hampson’s catalogue and 
cleared up the synonymy which had been extraordinarily complicated. As to the genus compare besides Vol. Ill, 
p. 23, and Vol. XI, p. 46. 
E. faticana Stgr. is said to be entirely like the European fatidica (Vol. Ill, t. 5 c); it is somewhat smaller, 
equally coloured and marked, and shows the following differences: of the transverse lines only the postmedian 
is rudimentarily present and is situate closer at the reniform macula; a black basal ray is connected with the 
coniform macula; the marginal dots are absent, instead there are short, black, small internerval stripes in the 
marginal area; veins fine dark, bordered with a light grey; fringes darker. Hindwing somewhat lighter. Accor¬ 
ding to 1 from Huallatani (Bolivia: La Paz). 
E. schausi sp. nov. (13 g, li) is a larger, beautiful insect which is likewise somewhat similar to fatidica 
(Vol. Ill, t. 5 c), with short-pinnate, in the apical third serrate antennae with ciliary tufts. Greyish-brown with a 
light purple reflection and dark brown markings, in the discal area below the cell, behind the reniform macula, and 
in the marginal area darkened; the transverse lines are double, the posterior one on the veins pointedly extended; 
ring-macula oblique oval, above open, coherent with the somewhat lighter costal part, the reniform macula 
very large, reniform, traversing the lower cell-end, beneath pupilled dark, at its distal edge yellowish-white, 
the cell before and behind it black; undulate line lighter dentate with dark sagittae before it, the longest opposite 
the cell. Hindwing brown, in the disc a little lighter. The $ is darker, more blackish, the maculae and costal 
part scaled bluish-grey. According to a pair from the Volcano Irazu (Costa Rica). 
E. edmondsi Btlr. (4h). Yellowish-grey, dusted with brown, the veins remaining light; the anterior 
transverse line is only visible in the submedian space, the posterior line finely dentate; maculae dark, with 
grey rings and encircled with black, also the coniform macula; the undulate line consists of small, light diffuse 
spots proximally bordered with dark, one of which extends between the upper radials to the postmedian. Hind¬ 
wing purely white with a black marginal line. The $ is much darker. From Chile. 
E. lutescens Blch. (= blanchardi Berg) (4h) is brownish-yellow with double transverse lines, little 
maculae in the black cell and an undulate line composed of small black sagittae. Hindwing semi-diaphanous 
white. The $ is much darker brown with an ochreous costal-marginal stripe. Chile. 
E. araucaria Hmps. (4 h) is more brownish than the preceding, in the basal area dusted black, other¬ 
wise very similarly marked, but besides with an undulate median line from the cell to the proximal margin. 
Marginal area brown with a light undulate line. Hindwing white, towards the margin brownish. Argentina 
and Chile. — f. argentina form. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) has light, brown wings without the black dusting in the 
basal and costal areas. Argentina. 
E. coquimbensis Hmps. (4h) differs from the preceding by more red-brown wings which are dusted 
darker especially in the discal area below the cell, and by more distinct, double transverse lines. Hindwings 
diaphanous white. Chile. 
E. americana Blch. (6 a) is red-brown, strewn darker, with very distinct, double, dentate transverse 
lines; the dark-pupilled maculae are ringed reddish and encircled with black; behind the light, dentate undulate 
line the margin is darker. Hindwings diaphanous white. Chile. 
E. dianthoeciae Mab. Yellowish-brown, mixed with grey and strewn with dark; transverse lines single, 
the posterior line sharply dentate, median line present; maculae small, whitish, above the ring-macula a dark 
dot at. the costal margin; before the undulate line dark dusting. Hindwing brown with white fringes. Patagonia. 
E. falklandica Hmps. (6 a). Forewing blackish-brown intermixed with yellow and grey scales and 
whitish transverse lines, the posterior line proximally bordered with black; the small, whitish maculae pupilled 
brown; undulate line light, before it black sagittae. Hindwing brown with whitish fringes. Falklands Islands.
