COPIBRYOPHILA; PRODICELLA; ESCARIA; ALEPTINA; PRORACHIA. By J)r. M. Drattdt. 253 
with blackish, submedianly irrorated with ochre-yellowish, with black double white-filled transverse lines; 
only the whitish reniform macula is distinct, the undulate line appears as a darker shadow in the marginal 
area. Hindwing yellowish smoky brown. Arizona. 
61. Genus: Copibryogiliila 8m. 
Proboscis developed; palpi much longer and slenderer than in the preceding genera; the frons exhibits 
a large rounded projection with a shovel-shaped plate at the end and a tricuspid horny plate below it; the 
thorax being covered with scales exhibits behind a large round tuft. Abdomen tuftless. But one species. 
C. angelica Sm. (36 k). The whitish forewing is strewn with brown and in the discal area irrorated angelica. 
with brown, the transverse lines on the averted sides bordered with white, the posterior line below the cell 
deposited and far inwardly removed; between the whitish maculae there is a black spot in the cell; the light 
undulate line is proximally irrorated with dark, behind it apically dark irroration. Hindwing light brown with 
white fringe. California. 
62. Genus: J*ro«liec*Jla Hmps. 
Scarcely different from the preceding genus, the horny plate below the similar frontal projection is 
triangular, the palpi are much shorter and not so slender. But one species. 
P. darena Drc. (36 i). The yellowish-white forewing is irrorated with red-brown, in the discal and darena. 
marginal areas darker, with dark brown transverse lines being somewhat bordered with whitish; between and 
before the small whitish-ringed maculae on the discal fold with a black streak; undulate line indistinctly lighter. 
Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. Mexico. 
63. Genus: Escarla Grt. 
Separated from the preceding genera by the stunted proboscis, still shorter porrect palpi and a long 
cordiform frontal projection with a horny plate below it; the smoothly scaled thorax and the abdomen are 
without tufts. Only two species. 
E. clauda Grt. (36 k). Forewing ochre-yellowish, strewn with red-brown and blackish, with blackish clauda. 
transverse lines being bordered with ochre-yellowish on the averted sides, the ochre-yellowish maculae sur¬ 
rounded with black; the light undulate line is proximally shaded with red-brown. Hindwing yellowish-brown. 
Arizona. - — pallens B. & Benj. (36 k) is a much lighter south-western race of a yellowish-white ground- pattens. 
colour with a quite extinct marking. From Lower California. 
E. homogena McD. has an ochre-yellowish body, and the forewing is olive-brown mixed with whitish, homogena. 
in some places more greyish-brown particularly behind the cell and in the marginal area; the transverse lines 
are whitish, the posterior line encircling the reniform macula in a large curve, and between both filled up with 
blackish; the ring-macula is a white oval surrounded with black, below it there is an extensive quadrangular 
white area; the undulate line is strongly dentate with a distinct W. Hindwing smoky-grey. Canada (Alberta). 
Probably only an intensely marked form of clauda, in contrast with pallens irrorated with blackish, based upon 
a single $. 
64. Genus: Aleptiaa Dyar. 
Proboscis somewhat better developed and palpus slightly longer and slenderer than in the preceding 
genus, extending to the large flattened horny projection of the frons, with an above concave horny plate below 
it. On the hindwing the upper median branch and the lowest radial branch are forked. Otherwise entirely as 
in Escaria. 
A. inca Dyar (37 a) is a small species very closely allied with the Oxycnemis , the forewing grey i nc a. 
mixed with black and white, with double transverse lines, the maculae surrounded with whitish, to the reniform 
macula a white apical patch extends, below it the subterminal area is darkened, the marginal area being lighter 
again. Hindwing white with brownish veins and margin. Arizona to Mexico. •— The form texana B. d- McD. te.vanu. 
(36 k), from Texas, is lighter than the type, more uniformly suffused with a bluish grey, and less contrasting, 
particularly by the entire absence of the yellowish part in the basal area, only the light apical patch being 
prominent; single specimens from Mexico entirely correspond with it. 
65 Genus: Proraclaia Hmps. 
This genus likewise contains but one little species closely allied with the preceding; it differs in the 
rounded frontal projection with a transverse list.le in the centre and a horny plate below it, and in a reverted 
tuft on the metathorax.
