C. lutea Strom. (= flavago F.). This common palearctic species also occurs in Canada and the United lutea. 
States down as far as New York. The dark yellow species with purple brown spots is unmistakable. (Vol. Ill, 
p. 154, pi. 24 i). 
C. pulchella Sm. (29 k). The fiery-red forewing is irrorated with purple brown and grey except the pulchella. 
basal and marginal areas, with blackish-brown transverse lines and small, grey-centred maculae, the reniform 
macula is above encircled with fiery-red, below in the shape of a U with white; undulate line jet-black. Hindwing 
reddish-brown with fiery-red fringes. Canada. 
C. andesica Hmps. (29 i) has light reddish-grey forewings with faded transverse lines dotted black undesica. 
on the veins; only the reniform macula is marked by a small lighter luna; the undulate line is a faint dark 
shadow. Hindwing light brownish, at the margin darker. Argentina (Puente del Inca). 
64. Genus: Hoinoglaca Morr. 
Distinguished by the entirely tuftless thorax and abdomen which are purely clad with hair. The 
forewing is short with a roundish apex. Otherwise like in the preceding. The genus is purely American. 
H„ carbonaria Morr. (29 k). Forewing yellowish-brown, in the costal-marginal area grey, in the inner carbonaria. 
part more irrorated with red-brown, with quite indistinct double transverse lines and darker centred maculae 
encircled with grey; the grey undulate line is proximally shaded with brown and exhibits here two small black 
sagittae below the costal margin. Hindwing reddish brownish-grey. Canada to California. •— The larva is 
light brown, dotted darker with very faint whitish longitudinal lines, and lives on willows. 
H. dives Sm. (29 k) is similar to the preceding, of a deeper red-brown colour, in the costal part almost dives. 
purple black, but at the hind-margin lighter, with double velvety-brown transverse lines and an intense median 
shadow; the ring-macula is large, encircled with black, the reniform macula is distally scaled yellow with a 
yellow central line. Hindwing blackish. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. British Columbia; Oregon. 
H. hireina Morr. (29 i). Forewing lead-coloured blackish-brown, with indistinctly double transverse Mrcina. 
lines filled up with a lighter grey, the maculae surrounded with light grey; the grey undulate line is proximally 
bordered by black dots, often only below the costal margin. Hindwing greyish-brown, at the margin somewhat 
darker. Canada. 
H. californica Sm. (= insinuata Sm.) (29 k) is a somewhat smaller, dull brown species feebly strewn califomica. 
with whitish and in the disc scantily clad with ochreous hairs, with indistinct transverse lines, being bordered 
with grey on the averted sides, the maculae surrounded with grey; the very indistinct, somewhat lighter undulate 
line is proximally shaded with brown. Hindwing dull brown. Washington; California. 
H. murrayi Gibs. (27 k) is a representative from the arctic parts of North America (North-Western murrayi. 
Territory). Forewing sand-coloured, in the central and marginal areas irrorated with a slightly darker brown, 
with darker brown transverse stripes being bordered with a somewhat lighter grey on the averted sides, the 
maculae very indistinctly surrounded with grey; the undulate line is indistinctly grey. Hindwing light brown 
with a somewhat darker margin. 
H. variegata B. <£■ McD. (29 k) has ochreous forewings intensely strewn with black, so that the variegata. 
ground-colour is purely visible only at the costal margin, between the double transverse lines, a little in the 
cell and subterminally; maculae surrounded with orange, the reniform macula is shaped like an 8 filled up 
with black; the undulate line consists of black dots. Hindwing dark smoky-grey with somewhat reddish-tinted 
fringes. Arizona. 
Subfamily: Amphipyrinae. 
In conformity with the corresponding volumes of the other faunal regions of this work, we keep up 
this name, having previously (p. 20) dealt with the real, biologically separated Apatela or Acronycta; otherwise 
the collective name of Acronyctinae in Hampson’s sense would have to be placed, or as is now customary in 
America: Apatelinae. It is one of the most comprehensive groujrs with a great number of tropical representatives 
with a partly very different exterior, though well characterized by bare, not ciliary eyes and spineless tibiae. 
The other marks exhibit such great varieties that it is impossible to state here any common facts. The proboscis 
and palpi may occur in all sizes, the frons may be smooth or provided with convexities, and often with horny 
projections underneath. The eyes are almost invariably large, but there is also here an ,,anartoid“ group with 
small bean-shaped eyes. All sizes, from large ones to the smallest, are represented, the wings are frequently 
decorated with golden or silvery spots. The larvae are bare, with but one short hair on each tubercle. Some 
bore into reeds or stalks and roots of herblike plants, such as the Nonagria or the ,,borers“, the species of
