A. phocea Jones (32 g). Forewing lustrous light red-brown mixed with grey, with indistinct transverse 
lines being on the averted sides bordered with grey and white, the grey maculae surrounded with brown; undulate 
line composed of whitish striae anteriorly bordered with black. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the distal margin 
red-brown. J antennae serrate. Brazil. 
13. Genus: Eiieropia Hmps. 
Likewise very closely allied to Speocropia and separated from it by the stunted proboscis and a different 
frontal appendage representing a rounded projection with an oblong keel. Only 1 species: 
E. pallircna Fldr. (32 h). Forewing red-brown, as far as the reniform macula and below it as far as 
the posterior transverse line suffused with blackish-brown (except the hind-margin), continued in a patch 
from the lower cell-end to the distal margin, with plain, finely crenulate transverse lines and large maculae 
encircled by black and white, with ochre-yellowish lunulae outside at the reniform macula; the undulate 
subterminal line is ochre-yellowish with a black spot before it below the costal margin, below it with small 
black sagittae, and on the submedian fold with a long black ray. Hindwing yellowish-white with a red-brown 
marginal band. Venezuela. 
14. Genus: Perinea Gn. 
This genus contains an immense number of species with representatives in the northern and southern 
parts of America, although their number and variability is much greater in South America. Proboscis developed, 
frons smooth, thorax covered with scales, in front with a loose tuft, behind with a very small one; the abdomen 
exhibits small tufts on the first rings. -— The genus occurs in all parts of the world except Europe. As to 
the palearctic species cf. Vol. Ill, p. 220, as to the Indian species cf. Vol. XI, p. 123. 
P. leucoptya Dogn. (32 h). Forewing bright red-brown with darker brown veins, with a short white 
basal ray and 2 white dots obliquely above it. with rather indistinct transverse lines and white maculae surrounded 
by brown, the reniform macula above with 4 white dots; the whitish undulate line is proximally bordered with 
brown. Hindwing white. Colombia, Peru. 
P. apameoides Gn. (= plagiata 1 Wkr., inclinata Wkr., subaureata Wkr.. subaurea Drc.) (32 h) is an 
extremely common and wide-spread species, the range of which extends from North America to Paraguay 
and Argentina. Forewing on the yellow ground irrorated with red-brown and greyish brown, with double 
transverse lines and black and white vein-dots behind the distal line; maculae in yellow rings with a white 
spot below in the reniform macula and a dark brown shaded undulate line. Hindwing yellowish-white, veins 
and margin brownish. — In the form mobilis Wkr. the white spot in the reniform macula is absent. — iole Grt. 
(= icole Grt.) is more red-brown, the yellow-’ ground-colour receding very much. 
P. subaurea Gn. (32 h) is much larger, duller red-brown, with the same markings, but w ith much 
brighter yellow and more distinctly pronounced spots in the marginal area behind the undulate line. Hindwing 
dark red-brown. Brazil. 
P. imitata Drc. (32 h) together with the following two similar species foims a group distinguished 
by peculiarly shaped palpi and antennae; the palpi are long and at the ends tuftedly haired, the antennae at 
the bases curved. Forewing whitish-grey with large red-brown spots, in the $ more intensely suffused with 
brown; forelegs with tufts of hair at the ends of the tibiae. Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Brazil. 
P. mimica Hmps. (32 h) is very similar to imitata , with somewhat shorter palpi, the forelegs without 
the tufts of hair; forewing marked and coloured almost the same, the differences being sufficiently exhibited 
in the figures. Mexico to Paraguay. 
P. simulatrix Hmps. is likewise extremely similar to imitata, with still shorter palpi, but a normal 
basal joint which is thickened and long-haired in the tw’o preceding species, the antennae not curved, and with 
normal forelegs. Only known from Venezuela. 
P. cupentia Cr. (= epopea Cr., palpalis Wh.) (32 i) is also very much like the preceding, but with 
normal palpi and antennae. Forewing greyish-white, in the $ more bluish-grey with quite similar red-brown 
spots, and in some places irrorated with blackish. •— confederata Grt. is the North American form with a black 
coniform macula, a coherent anterior transverse line, the maculae surrounded by blackish, and with more 
intense blackish irroration before the undulate line. -—- infelix Gn., from Florida, is more intensely irrorated 
with red-brown, so that the grey colour is only feebly prominent as irroration in the hindmarginal area, with 
a lighter subapical spot and indistinct marking. From the United States to Paraguay, everywhere very common. 
P. thyatiroides B. <f- Benj. exhibits a very uncommon exterior with a variable ground-colour being 
ochreous, brown, or dark olive, in the disc with dark striations, the black basal transverse line submedianly
