314 HEMINOCLOA; OSLARIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
N. aliaga Barnes (45 h) has light yellow forewings feebly marked with orange, with single small spots 
indicating the transverse lines. Hindwing yellowish-white with a brown marginal line. New Mexico. 
N. ezeha Dyar (45 h) is larger than aliaga', by the somewhat more developed marking it forms the 
intermediary between aliaga and the following nanata. Wings comparatively broad and short, light yellow, 
strewn somewhat with orange, with dull purple brown spots between the maculae and before the dentate 
posterior transverse line, as well as between the veins in the marginal area. Hindwing light yellowish. Mexico 
(Sierra de Guerrero). 
N. nanata Neum. (= macula 8m.) (45 h) is smaller than ezeha , the forewings are light orange and 
more intensely marked purple grey, the more or less confluent spots almost form the figure of a very flat bow. 
Hindwing purple brownish-grey, with a yellow margin and fringe. New Mexico, Mexico. 
N. periodita Dyar (45 h) also belongs yet to the preceding group, but the wings are almost entirely 
powdered with purple grey, only the postmedian area being broader yellow, strewn with red; crossed by the 
purple grey veins, the marginal area being again purple; 2 small yellow lunae indicate the situation of the 
anterior transverse line, the large maculae are marked by feeble yellow borders. Hindwing purple grey. Mexico 
(Tehuacan). 
N. pilacho Barnes (45 h), originally described as Hemiceras, belongs hereto. Forewing dull straw- 
coloured with fine transverse lines extending almost in the same way as in alcandra, and very feebly surrounded 
maculae. Hindwing yellowish-white. From Southern Arizona. 
N. dissimilis B. <£* McD. (45 i) looks quite different, rather like a Hadenida, but owing to its anatomical 
marks it belongs to this genus. Forewing light olive-brown, strewn with a darker velvety colour, with black 
transverse lines bordered with whitish and yellowish, the maculae being surrounded with white, the discal 
area usually powdered with blackish; the subterminal area is lighter olive with a bronze tint. Hindwing smoky 
brown. Arizona. 
N. torniplaga B. <£■ McD. (45 i) exhibits a more feeble frontal projection, but it is closely allied to 
dissimilis. Forewing darker velvety brown, in the basal and subterminal areas somewhat lighter, in the latter 
area, particularly in the lower half, light yellowish; transverse lines blackish, maculae lighter in the dark ground 
of the cell. Hindwing whitish, distally smoky. Arizona. 
1G8. Genus: Menalitoeloa B.u.Benj. 
This genus was only recently established for mirabilis having been described as Basilodes. It is very 
closely allied to Nocloa and shows a similar frontal projection, but the central appendage is not stunted but 
rounded off; the anterior tarsi are of the usual length; the anterior tibiae are not armed. 
H. mirabilis Neum. (45 h). Forewing light greenish with a large dark green triangular spot at the 
base of the costal margin and a smaller one at the apex; transverse lines white, the posterior line as well as 
the undulate line bordered with dark green; maculae absent except a dark cross-vein streak; at the anal angle 
there is yet a dark green spot. Hindwing silvery whitish-grey, at the margin smoky. Arizona. 
169. Genus: €)slaria Dyar. 
Very closely allied to Nocloa, and likewise with a stunted proboscis which, however, is a few millimeters 
long. The frontal projection is cordiform, without a central appendage, below extended into a point. All the 
rest as in Nocloa, but the prothorax exhibits a very feeble tuft. America. 
0. viridescens Sc-hs. (45 i) is the largest species with ochreous yellowish-grey forewings tinted with 
greenish, in the basal and discal areas powdered with purple grey, and in the lower half of the discal area 
powdered with reddish-brown; transverse lines red-brown, bordered with whitish, the large maculae are in 
feebly lighter rings, between them the upper half of the cell is filled up with chocolate-brown. Hindwing light 
reddish-brown. Mexico. 
0. viridifera Grt. (45 i). The yellowish-white forewing, powdered with olive-green, is darker olive- 
green in the hindmarginal third of the median area and in a costal-marginal spot reaching down between the 
maculae; the transverse lines are darker green; of the undulate line only the beginnings at the costal margin 
and hind-margin are indicated by small darker spots. Hindwing feebly reddish-brown. Arizona. 
0. pura B. &. McD. (45 i) shows yellowish-white forewings with very indistinct brown transverse 
lines which are finely dentate, the maculae are also finely surrounded with brown, the ring-macula is small, 
the reniform macula large, strangulated, between both a feeble brown costal-marginal shadow. Hindwing 
of a pure white. The marking may disappear more or less. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Arizona.
