51. Genus: f&ryoinima Stgr. 
Proboscis developed, palpi erect with a short terminal joint; frons smooth. Thorax clad with hair 
intermixed with some scales, tuftless, abdomen only with a basal tuft; tibiae outside with long hair. As to the 
numerous palearctic species cf. Vol. Ill, p. 139, pi. 34 d, e, and Vol. XI, p. 112, pi. 14 e, f. 
falsa. B. falsa Grt. ( = pohono Sm.) (29 d). Forewing olive-ochreous, in some places irrorated with blackish- 
brown; anterior transverse line proximally bordered with yellowish, posterior line indistinct with white vein- 
dots behind it, the ochreous maculae surrounded with blackish-brown; the undulate line is proximally bordered 
by a broad blackish-brown band. Hindwing white with blackish-brown veins and margin. California. — The 
uintara. form uintara Sm. (29 c) is hued with reddish or pinkish carmine, but the colour is apparently rather incon¬ 
stant and grows pale *). 
muscosa. B. muscosa Hmps. (29 d) is very similar, at once discernible by quite dark greyish-brown hindwings. 
Forewing more olive greyish-brown, transverse lines on the averted sides bordered with whitish not yellow; 
the ring-macula is entirely absent, the reniform macula is small, in a whitish ring. Undulate line whitish. 
Washington. 
dislans. B. distans B. d> McD. (29 d) approximates muscosa, but it is lighter, the dark parts more contrasting, 
the forewing more ochreous, in some places irrorated with blackish brown, with such spots at the base of 
the costal margin, in the central area, subapically at the costal margin, and in the centre of the subterminal 
area; transverse lines dentate; the ring-macula is small, round, ochreous, the reniform macida not sharply 
defined. Hindwing in the $ diaphanous white, distally smoky-brown, in the $ smoky-brown. Arizona. 
pulverulen- B. pulverulenta Sm. (29 c) is a smaller, brownish-grey species strewn with black, with a pinkish-reddish 
ia ‘ tint on the folds, with black transverse lines, the posterior line being dentate; ring-macula in a whitish ring, 
reniform macula grey, not marked; undulate line proximally irrorated with blackish. Hindwing yellowish-brown, 
at the margin darker. Colorado, Arizona. 
chryscledra. B. chryselectra Grt. (= benigna Edw.) (29 c). Forewing whitish, strewn with dark, before and behind 
the centre tinted pinkish-reddish, with double dentate transverse lines and small maculae surrounded with 
black; before the undulate line with small dark sagittae. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Colo- 
orizabac. rado and Arizona. -—• The form orizabae Strd. (= subsp. 1 Hmps.) (29 c) has the pinkish-reddish antemedian 
and postmedian areas coloured dark olive-brownish with a very dentate median shadow. Mexico. 
olivaria. B. olivaria Hmps. The reddish-brown forewing is strewn with blackish-brown and greenish-white, in 
the marginal area of a purer white with brown dentate transverse lines being on both sides bordered with 
greenish-white, and with greenish-white maculae surrounded by black; the white dentate undulate line is 
proximally shaded with black. Hindwing white, on the veins and margin dark brown. Expanse of wings: 
34 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo). 
52. Genus: Hypiiotype Hmps. 
The thorax is only clad with scales, the centre of the collar is somewhat raised in the shape of 
a keel, prothorax and metathorax with loose tufts, abdomen quite tuftless; tibiae thickly scaled. Only 1 species: 
place ns. H. placens Wkr. (29 c). Fore wing whitish with an olive-brownish tint, at the the costal margin spotted 
black with greenish-black transverse lines, the posterior of which is crenulate; the coniform macula is a 
cordiform white spot; between the whitish maculae a black spot. Hindwing white, veins and margin brown. 
Colombia. 
53. Genus: Alldicola Stgr. 
Small robust Noctuids with a small head and very small, long-ciliated eyes; body long-haired, almost 
woolly, abdomen tuftless, legs and tibiae also long-haired; $ antennae serrate-dentate, short-ciliated. Only 
one species from the Andine Alps, which is undoubtedly allied to the following genus Sympistis. 
liuallatani. A. huallatani (29 d). Forewing dingy brownish-grey, in the $ darker, with the 3 yellowish olive-green 
maculae, fine black transverse lines and with an S-shaped, narrow green subterminal band forming 2 teeth 
below the centre with whitish veins therein. Hindwing light grey, at the margin broadly blackish. From the 
Andine Alps of Bolivia, from an altitude of 5000 m. 
54. Genus: Sympistis Hbn. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by an admixture of coarse scales in the thorax and decidedly 
reniform eyes. All the species but one also occur in the palearctic region. 
melaleuca. S. melaleuca Thnbg. ( = bicycla Pack.). Described and figured in Vol. III. p. 254, pi. 50e. The small 
blackish-grey Noctuid with white hindwings margined with black also occurs in Canada.
