Ph. obliqua Sm. (35 f) is somewhat similar to the preceding in the scheme of markings, but darker, obliqua. 
the transverse lines are not white, but filled up with a little grey at most, both the macrdae very narrow and 
obliquely situate close at each other, the red-brown undulate-linear spots proximally not bordered with white. 
Florida. 
37. Genus: Fracara Wkr. 
The genus contains but one species approximating the preceding genera and being distinguished by 
the rough scaling on the thorax with loose tufts on the pro- and metathorax, also the abdomen of the small 
slenderly built insect exhibiting a series of tufts, those on the 3rd and 4th rings being the largest. 
F. viridata Stoll (35 g) is a small unmistakable species with whitish bluish-green forewings and scarlet viridatci. 
maculae in white rings, the lighter blue marginal area defined towards the darker green postmedian area. 
Hindwing white, at the margin tinted green. Colombia, Guiana, Brazil. 
38. Genus : Goniotermasia Hmps. 
This genus likewise only contains one small species separated from the preceding species by but one 
very large dorsal tuft on the abdomen. The little insect is likewise of a slender structure, the forewing below 
the apex excised and convex on the lowest radial branch. 
G. centrimacula Hmps. Forewing red-brown with a silvery grey reflection; the red-brown anterior cenirimacu- 
transverse line is proximally bordered with grey, the posterior line is brown, towards the costal margin extinct, la - 
behind the cell on both sides shaded with brown; the reniform macula has proximally a white streak which 
is on both sides bordered with brown, and distally it is bordered by white and black dots, before it in the cell 
there is a black oblong spot; instead of the undulate line there is a red-brown band which is on both sides 
bordered with a darker brown colour, before the distal margin in the upper half there is a bent white line as 
far as the lowest radial branch, below it there are well-defined white streaks which are distally bordered with 
dark brown. Hindwing dark brownish-grey with whitish fringes. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Venezuela. 
39. Genus: Cliytoiiix Grt. 
Proboscis developed; palpi rather short, thorax with rough scales, on the prothorax with a loose tuft, 
on the metathorax with a particularly large tuft; the small insects are likewise of a slender structure, the legs 
covered with long hairs and with very long spurs. Of the obdominal tufts those on the 3rd and 4th rings are 
particularly large. In most of the species the forewing is analwards somewhat gnawed out. A rather great 
number of mostly small species of a chiefly tropical range, though in North America there also occur some 
species approximating the palearctic Bryophila. 
Ch. muscosa Schs. (35 g), like the two following species, has the forewing rather very much gnawed muscosa. 
out below the apex, with a produced angle on the lower radial branch. Forewing yellowish red-brown, with 
black dentate transverse lines and yellowish-green maculae, the reniform macula on the median proximally 
produced and below the cell united with the ring-macula; behind the dentate blackish undulate line there is 
at the apex a yellowish-green spot. Hindwing yellowish-brown, at the margin darker. Mexico. 
Ch. rufescens Hmps. (35 g). The grey forewing is irrorated with purple red-brown, at the hind-margin rufescens. 
in the median area green with black dentate transverse stripes which are partly bordered with ochreous; the 
maculae are green, surrounded with brown, the reniform macula is 8-shaped, below the ring-macula there is a 
second green spot; from a white quadrangular apical spot the white undulate line proceeds. Hindwing yellowish- 
brown. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
Ch. ethela Schs. (35 g) is marked very much like rufescens, but of a much brighter red-brown and ethela. 
without the green admixture; the maculae are small pale spots; the white subapical spot is absent and the 
veins of the marginal area are black-striped. Hindwing brown. Brazil. 
Ch. chucha Schs. (35 h). Forewing greenish-grey, strewn with black, with black transverse lines chucha. 
being bordered with white at the costal margin, the distal line also at the hind-margin, the small maculae in 
white rings, below the ring-macula another similar spot, the reniform macula very much strangulated; behind 
the distal transverse line there are black and white vein-dots; at the apex there is a whitish spot from which 
the black undulate line proceeds. Hindwing brown. Brazil. 
Ch. leucosema Hmps. is very well distinguished by the male anterior femora being thickly covered with leucosema. 
brown scales. The ochreous forewing is irrorated with red-brown, in the marginal area greyish-green; the 
yellowish-reddish anterior transverse line is at the costal margin white and on both sides bordered with dark, 
the dark distal line is dentate and distally extended into white vein-dots. No maculae except a white elliptical
