139. Geims: Chalcoecla limps. 
Separated from the preceding genera by a slightly roundish frontal projection with a feeble transverse 
keel and a horny plate below it; the scaled thorax exhibits only behind a flat tuft, the abdomen being tufted 
on the two first rings. 
C. emessa Drc. (44 d). Forewing greyish-white, in the basal and marginal areas irrorated with purple emessa. 
red, in the anterior half of the median area and postmedianly olive with a coppery tint, with 2 brown curved 
transverse lines. Hindwing greyish-brown, at the margin darker. Guatemala, Panama. 
C. heochroa Dyar (44 d) is allied to emessa, but smaller and of a lighter colouring. Forewing in the heochroa. 
basal area pinkish-violet, the proximal half of the median area olive brown, the distal transverse line in the 
centre distally bent. Hindwing light straw-coloured, at the margin reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. 
Panama, Venezuela. 
C. patina Dgn. Forewing as in the preceding ones divided into 3 areas by 2 curved black lines: basal patina. 
area Isabel-coloured yellow, towards the anterior transverse line lilac, the latter line on both sides bordered 
with moss-green, the posterior half of the median area white with 2 lilac discal dots above each other; the posterior 
transverse line is also on both sides shaded with green, the green colour turning lilac-pink towards the margin, 
except a white apical patch; hindwing yellowish-white. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Paraguay. 
C. gloria Schs. (44 d). Forewing in the basal third purple grey, in the upper half yellowish-red, median gloria. 
area dark grey, in the distal half warming into whitish, towards the costal margin into green, with a large pink 
spot in the curve of the postmedian line; marginal area olive-green, towards the fringe lighter. Hindwing blackish- 
brown with yellowish fringes. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Costa Rica. 
C. patricia Schs. (44 d) is very similar to gloria, but somewhat smaller, and separated by the olive- patricia. 
yellow median area being olive-grey at the costal margin and hind-margin, the distal third being pinkish-brown, 
strewn with white, at the costal margin olive-brown. Hindwing blackish-brown with darker veins. Expanse 
of wings: 29 mm. Costa Rica. 
140. Genus: Calyumia Hbn. 
This genus being also known as Cosmia chiefly occurs in the palearctic and eastern regions where it has 
been dealt with at large (cf. Vol. 3, p. 330 and Vol. XI, p. 183). The species are distinguished by a smooth frons, 
a hairy and scaled thorax without tufts, and a tuftless abdomen. In America only 2 species are known so far. 
C. orina Gn. (= canescens Behr) (44 d) is very much like the palearctic trapezina and is probably orina. 
to be regarded as its North American representative, being also just as variable; it is at once discernible by 
the quite light hindwings; forewing light yellow, powdered with reddish-brown, with darker brown transverse 
lines bordered with light yellowish which colour also surrounds the maculae. — ab. orinella Strd. (— ab. 1 Hmps.) orinclla. 
is on the anterior body and forewing irrorated with brown instead of reddish; — in ab. calami Harv. there is calami. 
no dark irroration at all, the wings being montonously light yellow. — ab. orinula Strd. (= ab. 3 Hmps.) (44 d) orinula. 
shows the macrdae filled up with blackish-brown, and a similar spot behind the lower cell-end. From Canada 
to Arizona. 
C. cinetes Dyar (44 e) is a magnificent species from Mexico; the apex of the forewing is somewhat cinefes. 
excised below the apex, blackish-brown with red irroration along the two folds and towards the margin between 
the veins; transverse lines white, the reniform macula being a white ring with 2 dots above it; hindwing blackish- 
brown with purple red fringe. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
141. Genus: XMiaeoecia Dyar. 
The only species was described as Cirrhophanus , but later on separated, because the rounded frontal 
projection is below not extended into a point and the anterior tibiae are without claws. 
P. duplicatus Sm. (44 e). Forewing light ochreous-yellow, costal margin and cell in the basal half duplicatus. 
with a coppery red tint, the veins striped orange, without maculae, the transverse lines not very distinct, the 
posterior line finely dentate, the undulate line being the most distinct, the marginal area behind it darkened. 
Hindwing yellowish, as on the forewing with an orange marginal line. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Colorado. 
142. Genus: (lirrhophauiis Grt. 
Distinguished by a large rounded horny projection on the frons with a raised margin, which at. the 
lower end is extended into a point, below it a horny plate; the scaled thorax exhibits in front and behind loose
