they are presumably Nocluinae, because the middle radial branch of the hindwing is said to be more strongly 
developed and removed nearer to the lower branch. We for the present only enumerate the species here, they 
are not lying before us. Forewing reddish-grey with a slightly curved light, proximally darker shaded oblique 
line from the apex to the centre of the hind-margin, with a large white ring-macula which is distinctly encircled 
by dark, and a hardly traceable reniform macula. Cuba. 
B. fastigiata H.-Schdff. is of a similar ground-colour, the ring-macula only in the male indicated by fastigiata. 
a fine white dot, the undulate line scalariform dark, the oblique line finely red-brown, towards the margin 
finely yellow. The female is darker strewn excepting a lighter triangle at the apex, the oblique line and an 
arcuate anterior transverse line distinctly dark brown. Cuba. 
B. tristriga H.-Schaff. Forewing brownish-yellow, densely strewn with dark, only the two transverse trisiriga. 
lines, an oblique line extending from two thirds of the costal margin near the upper cell-angle to the posterior 
transverse line, and the space behind the undulate line are not strewn and distinctly lighter; the reniform 
macula is a fine light 8. Fringes of forewing blackish, of hindwing yellowish-grey with small brown vein-spots. 
Cuba. 
144. Genus: Chainaeclea Grt. 
The genus comprises some small beautifully coloured species with slender erect palpi, on the frons with 
a conical projection with raised margins and a vertically placed longitudinal fillet therein; thorax and abdomen 
tuftless. Only known from America. 
C. pemana Grt. (44 g). Forewing light pink, behind the postmedian line ochreous-yellowish, two pcmana. 
large spots at the costal margin and the hindmarginal half of the median area are of a deeper lilac-pink colour; 
the transverse lines are rather indistinctly darker, at the cross-vein a greenish streak, the undulate line whitish, 
proximally shaded with olive-yellow. Hindwing whitish, towards the margin brownish. Arizona. 
C. basiochrea B. & McD. (44 g) is very similar to peruana., discernible by the ochreous-brownish, not basiochrea. 
pink basal area which is only somewhat liued with purple at the costal margin, by the less distinct posterior 
transverse line being more deeply angled on the lower median branch; hindwing darker yellowish-brown, 
towards the margin smoky. Texas. 
C. mapensa Dyar (44 g) is on the forewing in the basal and marginal areas olive yellow, in the mapensa , 
central area pink with olive-brown, submedianly connected transverse lines and a similar undulate line with 
olive brown patches on the folds behind it. Hindwing yellowish, distally brown, Mexico (Panuco). 
145. Genus: Caiocea Dyar. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the absence of the claw on the anterior tibiae, a parted tuft on 
the prothorax, and a loose one on the metathorax; the frons with a large rough rounded projection without 
a raised margin. But one species: 
C. eucraspedica Dyar (44 g). Basal area and centre of costal margin light yellowish-brown, median eucras- 
area bronze-brown, marginal area pink with a darker pink triangular spot at the costal margin, with feeble pedica. 
brown transverse lines and discal dot, the posterior transverse line being double, removed far towards the margin 
and touching the distal margin in the centre. Hindwing dull brown, at the margin with a pink hue. Mexico 
(Tehuacan). 
146. Genus : X^ytlirodes Sm. 
Proboscis developed, the short slender palpi straight.ly porrect; in the horny frontal projection with a raised 
margin there is above a vertically placed flat fillet, below it a horny plate; the thorax is only clad with hair 
and tuftless like the abdomen. Exclusively in North America. 
L. radiatus Sm. (44 g) is a small yellowish-white insect with pink longitudinal stripes in the forewing, radiatus. 
the fringes being speckled red-brown. Hindwing yellowish-white. New Mexico, Arizona. 
L. venatus Sm. (44 g) may only be a very large and more intensely pink-coloured form of radiatus; venatus. 
only the type, a female from New Mexico, seems to be known. 
L. tripuncta B. & McD. (44 g) is white, on the forewing powdered with light brown, particularly tripunda. 
in the median and subterminal areas, with brown transverse lines, the anterior one broad,t he posterior one 
feebly dentate; the maculae are indicated by 3 brown dots; undulate line white, dentate. Hindwing white. 
Arizona.
