147. Genus: Hoplolytlira limps. 
Separated from the preceding genus by more erect palpi, the frontal projection being conical, the central 
projection roundish, not fillet-shaped; the scaled thorax shows loose tufts in front and behind, the anterior 
tibiae inside with a slender spine at the end. Only 2 species: 
H. arivaca Barnes (44 h). Anterior body and forewing yellowish white,' in the distal half of the median 
area red-brown bordered by brown lines, and with small maculae encircled with black; the anterior transverse 
line on the hindmarginal vein reverted towards the base. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. 
New Mexico. 
H. discistriga 8m. (44 h). Forewing yellowish-white with finely red-brown striped veins and folds, 
towards the margin somewhat thicker, the fringes being speckled. Hindwing golden yellow. California, Arizona. 
148. Genus: Piimora Dyar. 
Structure not dissimilar to the preceding genus, the tibia! spine on the inside is large, but thick, not 
slender, the central projection of the conical frontal appendage touches the somewhat cordiformly cut out 
lower margin; no tufts on the roughly scaled thorax. Only 1 species: 
P. hyperion Dyar (44 h) is an easily discernible, small bronze-black insect with an orange-yellow 
head and thorax and a similar broad median band and basal area on the forewing. Mexico (Cuernavaca). 
149. Genus: Argyrhoila Hmps. 
This genus likewise contains but one small species of a structure very similar to the preceding ones, 
but the proboscis is stunted, the frontal projection almost as in Hoplolythra, the thorax clad with hair mixed 
with scales, tuftless, the anterior tibiae thickened. 
A. laronia Drc. (44 h). Forewing silvery white with yellowish brownish transverse stripes and the 
cell filled up with carmine and a similar posterior transverse stripe. Hindwing light brown, with a faded 
subterminal band. Mexico. 
150. Genus: &atrapo€lcs Hmps. 
The large rounded horny appendage on the frons has no central projection, but a horny plate under it; 
the slender erect palpi are somewhat longer than in Argyrhoda ; the thorax is almost only clad with scales and 
tuftless like the abdomen. The apex of the broad forewing is almost falciform. Two species described from 
Mexico: 
S. mina Schs. (44 h). Forewing metallic golden yellow, powdered and strewn with olive-brown, with 
fine brown almost acute-angled transverse lines and silvery white maculae; the feeble whitish undulate line 
is proximally shaded with brown. Hindwing brown with a golden gloss. Mexico. 
S. dosca Dyar (44 h) is larger and has broader wings, more olive-greenish golden, the white reniform 
macula is situate in a black spot. Hindwing dark brown. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
151. Genus: Xeoplsacus Dyar. 
Here the palpi are still somewhat longer, the horny frontal projection as in the preceding genus, but 
still farther removed towards the vertex; thorax clad with rough scales, tuftless, the anterior tibiae on the 
inside at the end with a long claw. Only 1 species: 
N. chalcospilans Dyar (44 h) has a somewhat produced apex of the forewing and below it an excised 
distal margin; bronze-brown, strewn with white, with a fine brown postmedian line which is rectangularly 
flawed behind the upper cell-angle, with no other markings. Hindwing white with a silky gloss, costal and distal 
margins light brown. Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Mexico.
