12. Genus: limps. 
Allied to the preceding genus, but it has a well developed proboscis and the thorax chiefly covered 
with scales; the $ antennae are plain, the abdomen shows a tuft on the first ring. But 1 species: 
A. oenistis Hmps. (26 b). Forewing ochreous-brownish, the discal and marginal areas dusted with oenislis. 
blackish, with a black basal ray, double, very much bent transverse lines and small maculae in ochreous-yellowish 
rings, in the marginal area with ochreous-yellowish and black sagittae; fringes ochreous, speckled with blackish. 
The brown hindwing is darker at the margin. Argentine Andes. 
13. Genus: Walterella Dyar. 
Collar smooth, without a keel; frons with a stunted conical projection with a relieved margin, the 
upper end extended into a long point, the lower margin three-pronged. Eyes comparatively small, strongly 
ciliated, tarsi unarmed, legs and thorax long-haired, intermixed with long, three-pronged scales, metathorax 
and 3rd abdominal ring with small tufts; <$ antennae plain, ciliated. But 1 species: 
W. ocellata B. db McD. (= eudesmia Dyar) (26 b). Forewing narrow; grey, in the basal area ocellata. 
lighter, transverse lines feebly double, the anterior line rectangularly angled, the posterior line dentate, behind 
it an olive-brown band being broad at the anal angle and obliquely extending to the apex; in the dark, blackish 
discal area the maculae are doubly surrounded with black, the coniform macula is long. Hindwing brownish- 
grey. Arizona. 
14. Genus: liepipolys Gn. 
This genus and the large following genus are very much alike, the only difference is the rougher frons 
which may form a conical projection in some specimens. Two species from the United States. 
L. behrensi Grt. (26 b). Light greyish-brown, strewn with black, with double transverse lines, black- behrensi. 
encircled and somewhat brownish-pupilled maculae with traces of a median line between both; before the 
yellowish-white undulate line black internerval streaks. Hindwing light brownish, the veins and margin darker, 
d antennae serrate. California. 
L. perscripta Gn. (26 b) is more slender and on an average larger than behrensi, the d with plainly perscripta. 
ciliated antennae, otherwise very similar, though with much larger maculae, particularly the coniform macula 
is very large. Hindwing whitish, dusted with brown, veins and margin darker. Florida, Texas, Colorado, 
California. — The larva is blackish-olive with double white, elliptical dorsal spots and a broad white lateral 
band, it lives on Linaria canadensis. 
15. Genus: Oncocnemis Led. 
A very large genus with numerous North American species all of which seem to be rare, for there are 
but very few specimens even in large collections. Proboscis developed, frons smooth, eyes large. Thorax chiefly 
covered with scales, in front and behind with loose tufts, abdomen tuftless. The anterior tibiae exhibit 
inside at the ends a short bent claw, often also outside a small one. As to the palearctic species cf. vol. Ill, 
p. 120. 
0. mirificalis Grt. (26 b). This species and the next 5 have yellow hindwings bordered with black, mirificalis. 
Forewing dull blackish-brown, with a black basal ray as far as the long coniform macula, which is encircled 
with whitish; transverse lines rather indistinct, single, behind the posterior line dusted with whitish; the upper 
maculae are in whitish rings and connected by a thick black streak, the ring-macula is elliptical. Undulate 
line narrow, white, proximally with small black sagittae. California, Nevada. 
0. dayi Grt. (26 c) is grey, with purple brown dusting, with double transverse lines filled up with dayi. 
white; the small ring-macula is round, without the black streak connecting it with the reniform macula behind 
which there is a whitish spot; fringes black speckled with white. Hindwing pale yellow, at the base brownish 
with a broad black marginal band. Colorado. 
0. euta Sm. (26 d) has brown forewings dusted with grey, with a faint black basal ray, both the euta. 
transverse lines quite extinct, undulate, the two upper maculae small, in whitish rings, the ring-macula oblong 
elliptical, the coniform macula whitish; in the marginal area, which is darkened by a blackish brown, there 
are on black, small sagittae the minute, grey, undulate linear lunae. Hindwing yellow with a broad black 
marginal band. From Utah.
