C. tropicalis Schs. exhibits ochreous-brownish forewings being light grey at the costal margin and 
postmedially, with light stripes in and below the cell, the part of the reniform macula being more reddish-grey 
with a red-brown discal streak; in the grey postmeclian area a row of dark dots on the veins, behind them 
whitish, diffuse internerval patches followed by small brown marginal stripes, the longest extending to the 
reniform macula; anal part darker brown, strewn with white, the undulate brown fringes crossed by white. 
Hindwing white, distally dark, the veins partly black. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Costa Rica. 
8. Genus: Pseurismtlioecia Sm. 
This genus, being composed of but one small species, is characterized by small eyes, a bent horny plate 
below the frons, the body being coarsely haired without any admixture of scales, without tufts on the thorax 
and abdomen, the latter at the base and laterally with long rough hair. 
P. tumida Grt. (26 a) has light ochreous forewings tinted olive, in some places dusted with blackish, 
the maculae and transverse lines only indistinctly pronounced, in the lower end of the reniform macula some 
black scales, the undulate line marked by a somewhat lighter band, the ends of the fringes speckled light 
and dark. The orange-yellow hindwing exhibits a broad black marginal band proximally defined by a black 
median line. Colorado, New Mexico. 
9. Genus: Euros Edw. 
Very closely allied to the preceding, distinguished by still smaller somewhat elliptical eyes, shorter 
palpi and loose tufts on the prothorax and metathorax as well as on the first abdominal rings. 2 small North 
American species, which may prove to be merely the forms of one species. 
E. proprius Edw. (26 a) is in the basal area and in the proximal half of the subterminal space olive- 
yellowish, otherwise pinkish-red, strewn with black, with torn dark red-brown markings bordered with whitish; 
between the maculae with red-brown pupils and encircled with yellowish-white there is a blackish median 
line. Hindwing blackish-brown with pinkish-red fringes. California. 
E. cervina Edw. (26 a) is extraordinarily similar to proprius, the markings are somewhat more coherent 
with more distinct transverse lines, the discal area somewhat darker, particularly darkened in the marginal 
area behind the whitish undulate line. Perhaps only a form of the preceding, and likewise described from 
California. 
10. Genus: Crlopliasia limps. 
Proboscis developed, frons with a stunted conical projection; eyes large, round; thorax clad with scales, 
collar with a slight keel, metathorax and first abdominal ring with one tuft each. Beside an African species, 
only one species from the southernmost parts of America has become known. 
C. cauquenensis Btlr. (26 a) has brownish-grey forewings, in the marginal area darker with veins, 
without transverse lines and maculae, with 2 dark arcuate lines filled up with whitish in the discal area 
above the proximal margin, and 3 brownish-black small wedges in the anal half of the distal margin. Hind¬ 
wing light, at the margin somewhat darker. Chile. 
11. Genus: lioucoclilacua Hmps. 
Proboscis stunted, prothorax and metathorax with small loose tufts. The $ antennae are long-combed, 
all the rest is rather similar to Calophasia, except the slight keel on the collar being absent. The $$ of the 
only American species exhibit some anal wool on the abdomen. Besides there are palearctic and African 
species known. 
L. hipparis Drc. (26 b). Forewing brownish-grey with double, dentate transverse lines filled up with 
ochreous whitish, small, clark-pupilied, light-ringed and black encircled maculae; undulate line blackish, dentate, 
the marginal area behind it mostly lighter. Hindwing ochreous-brownish with a darker marginal line. The 
darker $ exhibits a dense tuft of brownish-white anal wool. Prom Mexico, of late also reported from Arizona. 
— From January till March there fly very light small specimens: pallens form. nov. (26 b), from May till 
November two or three times as large specimens of a much darker colour: colossa form. nov. (26 a, b).
