U. faunus StrecJc. This species as well as the following has hitherto been dealt with as Ufeus and descri¬ 
bed from New Mexico. To Hampson, however, it has remained unknown, and in most of the even more complete 
American collections it seems to be absent. It is undoubtedly very closely allied to the following. 
U, plicaius Grt. (= barometricus Goos.) (12 a) is dark red-brown, dusted and strewn with a greyish 
brown, in and below the cell with more or less distinct black longitudinal streaks and a posterior transverse 
line which is broken in an acute angle and distally edged lighter. Hindwing light brown. From Canada to 
Mexico. 
U. saiyricus Grt. (12 b). Dark brown, with blackish hair and an indistinct bent anterior and dentate 
posterior transverse line, the teeth extended into short streaks on the veins, with a black basal ray and in the 
cell-end; before the margin there are black internerval streaks, the longest being that above the middle radial 
vein. The light hindwing is dark-haired with a darker discal lima. Canada, United States (New York, 
Pennsylvania, Illinois). 
U. unicolor Grt. (12 b) is an almost uni-coloured blackish-brown insect with traces of a posterior 
transverse line. Hindwing light brown with a reddish tint. Illinois. — coloradica Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) has 
much darker brown hindwings strewn with grey; from Colorado. 
Lb lura Dyar has dark violettish-brown forewings strewn with blackish, with a lighter postmedian 
area; veins and transverse lines black, the latter on the averted sides edged lighter, the posterior line dentate, 
rectangularly broken close beneath the costal margin and for some distance parallel with it. Hindwing smoky 
brown. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Mexico (City) in June. 
25. Genus: Aiiytiis Grt. 
Proboscis developed, palpi erect, in front hairy; frons smooth, eyes not ciliated; anterior body clad 
with hair and scales, thorax tufted, behind with a keeled tuft; tibiae hairy, anterior tibiae not spined; abdomen 
not flattened with tufts. 
A. evelina French (12 b). Forewing dark purple grey, postmedianly more or less hued with a claret- 
coloured tint, with black transverse lines, the posterior line dentate and submedianly edged whitish, and with 
large maculae surrounded with black; the whitish dentate undulate line shows proximad small brown sagittae, 
distally black longitudinal streaks to the distal margin. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. 
United States (Colorado, California). — The light brown larva is watered with black, with oblique dark lateral 
shades; it lives on Lnpini, species of Ribes etc. — hanhami Sm. is a smaller, darker, more intensely dusted form 
with a black streak connecting the transverse lines. From British Columbia. 
A. discors Grt. (= vinela 8m.) is very similarly marked, lighter, more brownish in the colouring, 
with very distinct black internerval streaks in the marginal area, which form sagittae before the punctiform 
undulate line; the transverse lines are likewise connected by a fine submedian longitudinal streak; the upper 
maculae are incompletely-surrounded with blackish. Western United States (Kansas). 
A. cupola Hmps. The whitish forewing is densely strewn with dark brown and in some places dusted 
with red-brown, particularly the proximal half of the discal area; a black basal ray is above bordered with 
white; the black double transverse lines are filled up with whitish, the large light, white-ringed maculae are 
incompletely surrounded with black, the reniform macula is on the submedian produced inwards; an undulate 
blackish line extends from the lower cell-angle to the proximal margin; the dentate light undulate line is proxi- 
mally accompanied by black sagittae, distally by black internerval streaks. Hindwing of a pure white with 
a black marginal line, in the darker $ dusted with brown. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. United States (Utah). 
A. conneeta Sm. is very much like discors , but easily discernible from it by the large light ring- macula 
and the intense white dusting on the distal side of the postmedian line above the proximal margin. The species 
was described as a Polia, but it belongs hereto owing to the middle and posterior tibiae being spined though 
but feebly. Colorado, Utah, Arizona. It is possible that cupola may belong to it as a synonym. 
A. yosemitae Grt. as well as the following recall the palearctic species of Aporophyla. Ground-colour 
dark ash-grey, of a very uniform tint, with black, distinct, single transverse lines, submedianly connected by 
the long coniform macula; behind the whitish-spotted undulate line there are black internerval streaks; ring- 
macula oblong, oblique, reniform macula large. Hindwing whitish grey. Canada. 
A. enthea Grt. is allied to the preceding, but it has a coal-black ground-colour with velvety black 
markings entirely arranged, as in yosemitae. Maine. 
A. instrufa Sm. (= derelicta Hmps.) has bluish-grey forewings dusted with brown, with a black basal 
ray and black single transverse lines, the posterior line being dentate and distally near the proximal margin
