123. Genus: ISryograiiiiiia Schs. 
Very closely allied to the genus Ogdoconta\ the only species is likewise of a slender structure, with a 
smooth frons, the thorax clad with scales, prothorax tuftless, metathorax with a depressed tuft, abdomen 
tuftless. Wings comparatively narrow with rounded apex. 
B. sisera Schs. (42 e). The white forewing is strewn with grey, with purely white transverse lines 
being scaled blackish-brown on the inverted sides; between the white maculae, which are connected by a 
white band below the cell, the cell is irrorated with a blackish brown; the postmedian area is brownish-grey 
as far as the black subterminal shadow; the posterior transverse line is crossed on the submedian fold by a 
black curved line. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. Expanse of wings: 25 mm. Costa Rica. 
124. Genus: Geroda Wkr. 
Likewise small, slender insects with a shorter terminal joint of the palpus than in the preceding genus, 
the scaled prothorax showing a tuft flatly turned hindward, metathorax with a loose tuft. Abdomen with a 
small tuft on the first ring. Forewing below the sharp apex concavely excised and in the centre of the distal 
margin slightly produced. 4 small species from Tropical South America are known. 
G. cornifera Wkr. (42 h) is the largest species with red-brown forewings, dentate black transverse 
lines, a black punctiform ringmacula, and a narrow white S-shaped reniform macula, without the undulate 
line. Hindwing reddish with yellow fringes. Probably from Brazil. 
G. excisa Jones (42 h) is much smaller than cornifera, the forewing costally strewn with grey, the 
small reniform macula in a white ring, the ring-macula being entirely absent, with traces of a darker undulate 
line. Hindwing dark brownish-grey, in the costal-marginal area whitish with white fringes. Brazil (Bahia). 
G. leucocycla Drc. (42 h) is likewise similar, in the distal Half of the central area and at the margin 
darkened by blackish, the transverse lines on the averted sides bordered with whitish, the reniform macula 
8-shaped, at the margin there are white dots. Hindwing blackish-brown with a coppery gloss. Colombia. 
G. xeneusalis Wkr. (42 h) differs from the similar preceding species in a yellow reniform macula which 
is below pupilled with red-brown and surrounded by white. The undulate line is a faded yellowish band. Hind¬ 
wing as in leucocycla. In the $ the reniform macula is entirely centred with red-brown. From Brazil (Organ Mts.). 
125. Genus: Makapta Schs. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus, but the terminal joint of the palpus is generally somewhat 
longer, and the forewing is not excised at the distal margin. Several small Tropical American species have 
been described. 
M. bruma Schs. (42 i). For this species and the two following ones the genus Kohlera was established 
on account of the pectinate antennae which are only finely serrate in the other species. Forewing on the grey 
ground irrorated with red-brown, with double transverse lines, round maculae which are surrounded with red- 
brown, and a red-brown undulate line. Hindwing very light reddish-brown. Brazil. 
M. psectrocera Hmps. (42 i) is more coppery brown, behind the central area lighter, the posterior 
transverse line is only single, on both sides bordered with whitish; the light undulate line is proximally shaded 
with coppery brown. Hindwing white, irrorated with red-brown. Colombia. 
M. rubrescens Schs. (42 i) has very much longer palpi and a more purple pink ground-colour, without 
any anterior transverse lines, the posterior line only indicated by short vein-streaks; only the reniform macula 
is represented by a narrow small brown lunula surrounded with white. Hindwing light purple pink. Brazil. 
M. carnescens Schs. (42 i). Forewing coppery red-brown with dentate single black transverse lines 
and a narrow white reniform macula. Hindwing lustrous dark brown. Brazil. 
M. lurida Schs (42 i) is on the red-brown ground intensely irrorated with grey, in the basal half of the 
hind-margin and in the distal-marginal area on the golden yellow ground irrorated with fiery red, with fine 
brown transverse lines and yellow maculae irrorated with red, in the reniform macula below a white spot. 
Hindwing whitish, towards the margin irrorated with red-brown. Brazil, Argentina. 
M. niveigutta Schs. (42 i). Forewing red-brown, scantily strewn with white, with feeble reddish- 
brown transverse lines, the posterior line being very oblique, and almost straight from the apex, distally bordered 
with a light grey, in the reniform macula as in lurida below with a white spot. Hindwing light reddish-brown. 
Brazil.
