somewhat’excised. A small number of pretty little species of a chiefly tropical range. The few North American 
representatives differ somewhat in the subcostal veins, and the tibiae are less thickly haired, for which reason 
the subgeneric name: Cyathissa (Grt .) was introduced for them. 
E. combusta Wkr. (43 c) is easily recognisable by the white forewing being red-brown in the distal combusta. 
half, with a large black triangular spot at the costal margin, with a V-shaped white marking in it. Hindwing 
of a pure white. Brazil. 
E. anna Schs. (43 c) is somewhat similar, the forewing at the base reddish-brown, distally bordered anna. 
by some black scales, the median area is white with a black triangular spot at the costal margin, distally bordered 
by a broad black shadow; distal margin light reddish-brown, fringes at the apex, in the centre, and at the anal 
angle black. Hindwing white. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. empyra Dyar (43c) has a white head and black thorax with a red-brown tuft; forewing in the empyra. 
basal half white, in the marginal half brown, at the apex and anal angle with a purple reflection, otherwise dull, 
both colours parted by a black line which is above widened and contains a small white costal-marginal spot; 
at the base in the hindmarginal half a quadrangular loam-coloured yellow spot edged with black, and above it 
at the costal margin a similar smaller one. Hindwing dingy white. Expanse of wings: 17 mm. British Guiana. 
E. grammophora Gn. (43 d). Forewing white, in some places irrorated with orange, in the marginal grammopho- 
area black with lead-coloured scales and a large white triangular apical spot turning reddish-yellow downward. ra - 
Hindwing of a pure white, at the apex and margin brownish, in the $ which exhibits a large black basal spot 
darker brown. Central and Southern Brazil, Uruguay. 
E. nocea Dyar (43 d). Forewing yellowish-white, mixed with olive-green, in the basal area light nocea. 
yellowish-white, distally bordered with white; in the upper half of the median area with a large velvety black 
spot with a yellowish-white costal spot in it; the double posterior black transverse line is finely undulate; 
marginal area darkened by olive-green. Hindwing greyer than in grammophora. Mexico (Orizaba). 
E. oleagina Dgn. (43 cl). Forewing orange mixed with white, the latter colour particularly in the oleagina. 
hindmarginal area; transverse lines and an anal-angular spot black, in the centre of the costal margin there 
is a white semicircular spot bordered with black. Hindwing diaphanous white. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. 
E. niphoplaga Drc. (43 d) is larger than the preceding similar species, intensely mixed with green, niphoplaga. 
the median area red-brown, the black anal-angular spot is absent. Hindwing with a feeble reddish-brown tint. 
Colombia. 
E. percara Morr. (= quadrate Sm.) (43 d) is a variable small species with white forewings irrorated percara. 
with green, in the upper half of the median area black, with a large white quadricuspid spot distally below 
the costal margin and a large black anal-angular spot. Hindwing diaphanous white, feebly brownish. The 
green colour is very delicate in all these small species and quickly turns yellowish-reddish; on such specimens 
the name quadrate is based. — ochracea Sm. (42 h) are specimens in which the black median area is reduced ochracea. 
and replaced by ochreous-brown. Arizona, Florida. 
E. pallida Sm. (43 d) is another similar species with white forewings, the upper half of the median pallida. 
area being bluish-grey, enclosing a very large, below rounded white costal-marginal spot, whilst an oblique 
bluish-grey spot extends from the centre of the posterior transverse line to the margin; maculae and transverse 
lines only feebly marked. Hindwing of a pure white. Colorado, California. 
E. dulcinia Dyar (43 cl) is very similar to pallida , but smaller, irrorated with olive-greenish and without dulcinia. 
the oblique dark spot above the anal angle, the places being bluish-grey in pallida are here more black. Hindwing 
whitish with traces of a darker median line. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Arizona. 
E. minastes Dyar (43 cl) has silvery white forewings strewn with olive-green, the distal upper half minastes. 
of the median area being black, in it a spot being above yellow, below white, and forming a rounded projection 
in its centre at the cell-end; at the anal angle there is another black spot parted by the silvery white undulate 
line which forms a W below the centre. Hindwing white with a grey central spot and a spotted distal line. 
Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
129. Genus: Kryolymnia Hmps. 
It lias much longer palpi than the preceding genus with a more slender terminal joint, otherwise very 
similar, but on an average stouter and stronger; thorax clad with a mixture of hair and scales, the metathoracal 
tuft is feebler and turned hindward, forewing below the apex not excised. Except one North American species 
there are only tropical representatives. 
B. floccifera Mschlr. (43 e) is a more slender species, distinguished by a long hair-brush beneath floccifera. 
on the hindmarginal vein of the forewing, the white forewing shows black and emerald-green spots, the largest
