EUROTYPE; PLEROMA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
below intensely marked black; the whitish undulate line is distally irrorated with black, with a strong black 
anal streak behind it. Hindwing greyish-brown. Canada, Eastern and Central States as far as Colorado. 
arcadia. X. arcadia B. & Ben], is similar, but smaller, much lighter whitish grey with more distinctly double 
transverse lines filled up with white; the ring-macula is more oblique, the reniform macula is below broader, 
so that both are below almost fused, in the $ entirely fused. The insect looks almost like Anytus privata 
(pi. 12 b). Expanse of wings: 35 to 40 mm. Described from Nova Scotia. 
42. Genus: Eiirotype Hmps. 
Likewise very closely allied to the preceding genera, but the thoracal scales are intermixed with hair. 
Of the abdominal tufts none is particularly large. Only 2 species: 
onceps. E. anceps Steph. ( — polymita Steph ., acutissima Grt.). Forewing whitish with brown irroration, 
in the central area browner irrorated with a black basal ray, black, white-edged, strongly dentate transverse 
lines which are submedianly connected by a prolongation of the coniform macula, and with large, white-ringed 
maculae with black longitudinal streaks from the reniform macula to the posterior transverse line; before the 
white undulate line there are small black sagittary spots. Hindwing brownish-grey. Canada, New York. — 
confragosa. The form confragosa Morr. (— medialis Grt.) (29 b) exhibits a less strongly dentate double posterior transverse 
line. Canada. 
contadina. E. contadina Sm. (28 k) has serrate antennae (the $ of the preceding has short pectinate antennae); 
forewing very similarly marked as in the preceding, but the ring-macula is smaller and on all sides surrounded 
with black, in the preceding above open, more Y-shaped. Hindwing somewhat lighter greyish-brown. From 
British Colombia. 
43. Genus: IMeroma Sm. 
The palpi are in front much longer haired than in the preceding genera, the insects are on the whole 
much more hairy, the thorax is clad with hair and hair-like scales, the collar is in the centre raised somewhat 
in the shape of a keel; prothorax and metathorax do not exhibit any tufts, the abdomen is only tufted on the 
first rings, instead of it laterally longer haired. 
apposUa. P. apposita Sm. (28 k) is so closely allied to the following conserta that Hampson in his catalogue 
united them; according to the kind information of Mr. Benjamin, it is perhaps a distinct species, but probably 
merely a form of the following with less distinctly marked transverse lines and with intense black suffusion 
on the forewing. British Columbia: Alberta. 
conserta. P. conserta Grt. Forewing black, in the basal and costal areas irregularly irrorated with white, interrupted 
by the broad faded beginnings of the transverse lines which are extinct in the other part of the wing; reniform 
macula and the small spots of the undxdate line are likewise white, also the fringes are speckled with white; 
hindwing greyish-brown. Canada; United States (Washington). 
bonuscula. P. bonuscula Sm. (29 a) has grey, black-strewn forewings, irrorated with white in the costal-marginal 
area and with black-striped veins; the extinct and rather indistinct transverse lines are confluent towards the 
hind-margin; the reniform macula is a small dark luna; the undulate line is represented by white dots on small 
blackish sagittary spots, towards the anal angle there is a rather long white stripe on both sides bordered with 
black. Hindwing greyish-brown. Colorado. 
obliquata. P. obliquata Sm. (29 a) is similarly marked, more bluish-grey, thickly strewn with black; the transverse 
lines are strong, not united towards the hindmargin, at the anal angle the white stripe of bonuscula is absent, 
smithi. Hindwing lighter brownish-grey. Colorado, California. -— f. smithi B. & Ben]., from Utah, is lighter coloured, 
of a purer grey, with more distinctly prominent markings, also the veins being deeper black. Hindwing blackish- 
grey, without brown tints. 
arizonata. P. arizonata B. & Ben], is similarly marked as the following cinerea, but larger, coloured as obliquata 
(29 a), in the subterminal area somewhat darker with a white, above black-bordered stripe on the submedian 
fold between the posterior transverse line and the undulate line; the ring-macula is a small light diffuse spot, 
the reniform macula is a small faded dark luna. Hindwing smoky grey. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Arizona. 
cinerea. P. cinerea Sm. (29 a) is on the bluish-white ground strewn with brown, with fine black veins; the 
anterior transverse line is very much distally angular on the median vein, and proximally angular on the submedian 
fold, otherwise extinct; the apex is parted by a brownish nebulous patch in which there are blackish strigiform 
spots; above the anal angle a white stripe bordered with black. Hindwing light brown, on the veins and margin 
darker. Oregon; California.
