C. fuscoma Schs. (43 1). Forewing in the basal and marginal areas ochreous-brown, in the broad 
median and postmedian areas red-brown, strewn with yellow; transverse lines on the averted sides broadly 
bordered with yellow, the maculae with black centres and orange-red rings. Hindwing light red-brown. Costa 
Rica, Brazil. 
133. Genus: Ij>ini orpin 21 Hbn. 
Allied to the preceding genera, but chiefly separated by the keel-shaped centre of the collar, a tuft 
in the shape of a three-sided pyramid on the prothorax, a loose tuft on the metatliorax, and the tuftless abdomen 
being hairy at the base and laterally; the thorax is clad with hair and hair-scales. Forewing below the pointed 
apex somewhat excised. Besides 2 palearctic species (cf. Vol. Ill, p. 228) represented by some forms in North 
America. 
I. pleonectusa Grt. (= aequilinea 8m.) (43 1). Forewing yellowish-reddish with light yellow, almost 
straight transverse lines and large red-brown maculae being surrounded with light yellow, the reniform macula 
strangulated and inwardly removed on the median, the yellowish undulate line proximally shaded with brownish. 
Hindwing light yellowish-brown. Canada to Colorado. ■— v. manitobae Strd. ( = ab. 1 Hmps.), from Manitoba 
and Alberta, is a paler, less reddish form. — The larva is diaphanous green with white longitudinal lines and 
lives between convolute leaves of trembling-poplars with the opening at the lower end. 
I. nanaimo Barms (43 1) is irrorated with brown on the whitish-yellowish ground, with darker transverse 
lines and median shadow, also the large maculae surrounded with a feebly darker colour; the undulate line 
is only indicated by the somewhat lighter marginal area. Hindwing light brownish. British Columbia. 
I. subvexa Grt. (43 1) is the largest species, on the grey ground strewn with olive-brown, with brown 
transverse lines being on the averted sides bordered with a light yellowish colour, and with brown maculae 
surrounded with whitish; the whitish undulate line is proximally shaded with olive-brown. Hindwing light 
brown. Texas, Colorado. 
S. viridipallida B. & McD. (43 1) is the most closely allied to nanaimo and has the same markings, 
but the ground-colour is an ochreous greenish with somewhat darker transverse lines bordered with whitish 
and with large maculae encircled with white. Hindwing of a pure white with a very feeble darker median line. 
Expanse of wings: 35 mm. California. 
134. Genus: Sac 2 idodes Dyar. 
This genus having only been established in 1912 is allied to the South African genus Diparopsis con¬ 
taining but one species: castanea Hmps., a notorious cotton-vermin which it resembles peculiarly much, and 
its larva is one of the so-called ,,Pink Boll Worms 41 , living on cotton. Proboscis stunted, palpi porrect or but 
slightly rising, the 2nd joint long and thick, the last joint short, in the 3 almost ball-shaped, in the $ long 
and slender; antennae bipectinate, in the $ with shorter pectinations. The frons exhibits a roughened projection 
with angular contours; the thorax is hairy, showing in front a minute tuft, on the metathorax a large parted 
tuft; the abdomen exhibits a small tuft on the first ring. In spite of the strong middle radial on the hindwing 
rising below the centre of the cross-vein, the species is inserted between Leucosigma and Bagisara. 
S. pyralis Dyar (43 1). Colour of forewing changing from loamy yellow to purple brown, with darker 
olive-brown basal and subterminal areas and a narrow dark spot on the cross-vein and lighter transverse lines, 
the proximal line bordering on the dark basal area, the distal line proximally bordered with dark and running 
near the subterminal line being parallel to it. Hindwing in the 3 whitish, in the $ purple brown. Expanse 
of wings: 30 mm. The species was at first reported from Trinidad, where it was bred from cotton-worms, but 
later on it got known also from Panama, Venezuela, and Argentina, thus being apparently very widely distributed. 
— The cylindrical larva is provided with deep segmental indentations and has strongly chitinized neck- and 
anal shields; in its young stage it shows pink longitudinal lines on the dorsum and in the sides, and oblique 
subdorsal spots lacking the adult larva which is then yellowish white. 
135. Genus: flagisara Wkr. 
Distinguished from the allied genus Calymniodes by the absence of all the tufts on the purely scaled 
thorax, the palpi being also somewhat thinner and longer. Several species, 3 of which extend up to North 
America. 
B. subusta Hbn. (= erecta Wkr., dispartita Wkr., congest.a Wkr., trilinea Wkr.) (43 1) is a small 
ochreous-yellowish species with fine brown transverse lines bordered with whitish, and 2 black dots above 
each other instead of the reniform macula; the brownish undulate line is distally bordered with white. Hindwing
