before the fringes a row of very fine black clots. Hindwing white, in the disc somewhat diaphanous and feebly 
iridescent. 1 $ from the Cuesta de Cillutincara (Bolivia), by Fassl. 
E. centripuncta sp. n. (13 e) is neither dissimilar and has the same shape of the wings. Forewing light ash- cenlripunc- 
grey, somewhat more intensely strewn with black, at the costal margin at the beginning of the 3 transverse lines 
marked with 2 thick blackish streaks each, otherwise the transverse lines are only now and then fragmentarily 
traceable, the posterior line distally with fine black dots on the veins; the ring-macula is a circular black spot, 
the reniform macula only distally bordered by a fine blackish line; undulate line indistinctly lighter, dentate, 
proximally bordered with red-brown, beginning at the costal margin with a larger and darker red-brown triangu¬ 
lar spot, behind it only slightly darkened, on the margin with fine black triangular dots. Hindwing of a pure 
white, diaphanous. The palpi are jet-black except the light terminal joint, the vertex very light greyish-white. 
1 c? from the Quindiu Pass (Colombia). 
19. Genus: Trichopliotfa limps. 
The most conspicuous mark are the hairy eyes which occur but rarely among the Agrotinae (Ala Stgr., 
Trichorthosia Grt.). The other marks agree with the neighbouring genera. The second palpal joint is rather 
long, in front broadly scaled, the terminal joint short, straiglitly porrect. Frons smooth, with tufts of scales 
between the antennae; thorax clad with hair and scales, in the centre with tufts; abdomen at the base roughly 
haired. AH the tibiae are spinecl. Forewing long and narrow with a rounded apex. Only 2 species are known: 
T. homogenea Hmps. Forewing greyish-brown, strewn with blackish-brown and in some places homogenea. 
tinted brown with a black basal ray and double undulate transverse lines, the posterior line distally with dots 
on the veins; the maculae are small, encircled with black, the reniform macula pupilled blackish-brown, the 
ground between them brown with 2 black streaks and a black streak before the ring-macula; behind the post¬ 
median line blackish-brown dusting at the costal margin; at the margin, on the discal fold, a blackish-brown 
wedge-shaped spot, another below the upper median branch. Hindwing white with a blackish discal spot. —- 
acopampana Strd. (— ab. 1 Hmps.) has more monotonously brown forewings, with less prominent cellular and acopampu- 
postmedian dark markings. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. — From Peru. na 
T. cervina Dogn. is light reddish-brown, on the veins and in the costal-marginal part strewn with cervinct. 
whitish, with similar transverse lines as the preceding; the ring-macula is oval, in the centre whitish, the reni¬ 
form macula indistinct, with an indistinct median shade as far as the median; undulate line composed of small 
black internerval spots. Hindwing yellowish-white. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Colombia (Quindiu Pass). 
20. Genus: XjyfopiBotin Hbn. 
A larger genus characterized by its smooth frons without projections, with round hairless eyes, head 
and thorax smoothly clad with scales, on the prothorax tufted, the anterior tibiae on both sides spined, with 
a cylindrical abdomen. Also in the tropical parts of South America there occur many representatives. 
L. radiata Schs. (= atristriata Drc.) (11 a) has a jet-black head and thorax. Forewing yellowish- radiata. 
white, dusted with reddish-brown and strewn with blackish, with long black stripes in and below the cell as 
far as the margin from below the apex to close above the anal angle with white-striped veins therein. Hind¬ 
wing yellowish-white with a brownish costal margin and distal margin. From Brazil. 
L. achromatica Hmps. (11 b) has whitish forewings scantily strewn with red-brown, with effaced achromaU- 
dentate transverse lines, the posterior line being pointedly extended on the veins; the ring-macula is a black 
dot, the reniform macula a small spot, between both two black longitudinal streaks; the veins in the marginal 
area striped darker; undulate line indistinctly dentate, before it a dark costal spot, behind it in the discal area 
dark stripes. Hindwing diaphanous white. Brazil. 
L. cofrensis Schs. (11 a) is the only American Agrotina with a decidedly green colour and therefore cofrensis. 
unmistakable; the anterior transverse line is double, the posterior line single; maculae rather large, in white 
rings and encircled with black in the black cell; discal shade distinct. Hindwing brownish. Mexico (Cofre de 
Perote). 
L. rodea Schs. (11 b) is easily discernible by the jet-black long basal ray with its continuation rodea. 
above the median, above it a small discal luna; ground-colour whitish-grey, scantily strewn with black; behind 
the cell a dark patch towards the apex, a more indistinct one at the end of the submedian fold. Hindwing dia¬ 
phanous white. Mexico to Colombia.
