DYSMILICHIA; HYPERMILICHIA; ANTHODES; PROXENU8. By Dr. M. Draudt. 201 
scales; the abdomen is tuftless, too. Small, slim Noctuids with broad wings which in the $ are usually more 
or less stunted. 
P. anotha Dyar (37 1). Forewing lustrous ochreous grey, strewn with a dark colour, with blackish- anotha. 
brown transverse lines, the posterior line being dentate and distally lighter; the maculae are small faded spots, 
the marginal area is darkened by a brownish grey, being the darkest at the anal angle, with the slightly lighter 
undulate line in it. Hindwing diaphanous whitish, in the marginal half brownish. British Columbia. 
P. camina Sm. (37 1) is much darker blackish-brown, the ring-macula is a short longitudinal streak, camina. 
the posterior transverse line is quite indinstinct and faded, the median shadow and undulate line are absent. 
Hindwing yellowish-brown, with a feeble discal luna. Colorado. 
84. Genus: HysinHi«’liia Speiser. 
Separated from the preceding genera by the developed proboscis, the conical frontal projection with 
a raised edge and a horny plate below it, the scaled thorax being tuftless, the tuftless abdomen and the raised 
short palpi. The structure is likewise slender, the wings of the only Brazilian species rather narrow, in the other 
representatives broader. Cf. Vol. Ill, p. 215. 
D. perigeta Schs. (37 1) has purple reddish-brown forewings, the transverse lines on the averted sides perigeta. 
ma'rked with white, the maculae in white rings and finely encircled with black, in the strangulated reniform 
macula there is a yellowish centre ; the white undulate line is proximally shaded with brown. Hindwing reddish 
greyish-brown. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
85. Genus: Hypermilicliia Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus merely by the absence of the horny plate below the longer 
stunted conical horny appendage with a raised edge on the apex of it; on the forewing the accessory cell seems 
to be absent. But 1 species: 
H. colon Dgn. Forewing grey, scantily strewn with brown; the anterior angular transverse line is colon. 
brown, towards the base bordered with white; a broad brown median band forming a very strong angle behind 
the cell-end is proximally indistinctly, distally distinctly defined and bordered with a reddish brown; on the 
cross-vein there is a fine white streak, a marginal line is also white. Hindwing reddish-brown. Expanse of 
wings: 19 mm. Argentina. 
86. Genus: Aniliories Hmps. 
The only species described has longer palpi than the preceding genera, a smooth frons with a thick 
tuft of scales with a listle of scales above it; the scaled thorax exhibits in front a flattened tuft, on the 
metathorax a large loose tuft, the abdomen also shows a series of tufts which are very large on the 2nd and 3rd 
rings. The exhibits on the uppermost radial branch of the hindwing at the end a wedge-shaped androconium. 
A. acynodonta Dgn. Forewing light salmon-coloured, the transverse lines marked by dark brown acynodonla. 
scales, in the posterior line in a double row, the maculae are surrounded by yellow or white, the quadrangular 
ring-macula is open above and rests on the median, below it there is a brown spot, behind which there is a 
white streak at the hind-margin, above and below bordered with brown, the reniform macula is strangulated; 
before the row of black marginal lunae proximally pupilled with ochre-yellow there are small white wedge- 
shaped spots. Hindwing blackish. Uruguay. 
87. Genus: Hroxeniis H.-Schaff. 
This chiefly palearctic genus also contains a few American representatives; cf. Vol. Ill, p. 215. Slender 
species without tufts on the scaled body, with a well developed proboscis and smooth frons, with narrow and 
long wings. 
P. mirailda Grt. (38 a). Forewing lustrous blackish-brown, strewn with grey, with very faint traces mirarida. 
of transverse lines, the anterior line being whitish, the posterior line marked by vein-dots, the maculae by dark 
dots. Hindwing white, on the veins and margin brownish. New York to California. — The form nitens Dyar nitcns. 
(38 a) is much darker, lustrous black, the reniform macula is a distinct white lunula; this form is found from 
Canada to North Dakota. -— The larva is yellowish-brown, with a broad light lateral stripe and dorsal area 
with a darker, on each ring angularly expanded band therein. It presumably lives on grasses.
