179. Genus: Mierolita Hmps. 
This genus was erected for a single small insect from Brazil, which is very closely allied to the following 
genus Amphilita and differs from the latter in the conical frontal projection ending pointedly. 
M. leucorhabda Jones (46 d). Forewing yellow, scantily strewn with black, in the lower half of the 
cell as far as the apex with a broad white longitudinal stripe which is defined in the cell above by a black 
line being expanded into a small discal spot at the cell-end; below the apex the white colour is beneath 
defined by a brown patch. Hindwing brownish-white, at the margin darker. Castro (Parana). 
180. Genus: Aiiipliilfta Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed, palpi obliquely erect with a short terminal joint; frons smooth, thorax scaled, 
tuftless, abdomen tuftless, too; tibiae slender with long spurs. Only 2 species. 
A. arcuata Jones (46 d). Forewing red-brown, strewn with blackish-brown, with darker striped veins 
and a white longitudinal stripe along the median as far as the apex and with traces of double transverse lines, 
the posterior line being more distinct below the white stripe. Hindwing white, at the margin red-brown. Brazil. 
A. punctilinea Jones (46 d) has ochreous-yellow forewings strewn with dark, with faint transverse 
lines indicated by vein-dots. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. Brazil. 
181. Genus: Acylita Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the stunted proboscis, more slender palpi, thorax intermixed 
with hairs. On the hindwing the costal branch rises only shortly before the cell-end. — Neotropical. 
A. cara Schs. (46 e). Forewing pink with a red-brown longitudinal stripe through the cell to the 
apex which is above and below bordered with white, and with a feeble red stripe below it to the centre of 
the hind-margin. Hindwing brownish-white. Brazil. 
A. elongata Schs. (46 e) is larger than cara with white fore wings suffused with pink, in the proximal 
and marginal areas of a deeper pink strewn with brown; the brown longitudinal stripe of cara is only feebly 
traceable. Brazil. 
A. sanguifusa Jones (46 e) is smaller than cara, of a deeper pink, the longitudinal stripe and the 
hindmarginal area of a deep red, the distal-marginal area with red internerval stripes. Hindwing white, at 
the margin yellowish. Brazil. 
A. dukinfieldi Schs. (46 e) has bright pink forewings with an ochreous-yellow costal margin, the median 
vein and its branches being white-striped. Hindwing very light brownish. Brazil. 
A. disticta Jones (46 e) has yellowish-brown forewings strewn with black, with black dots instead 
of the maculae and 2 dots at the hind-margin instead of the posterior transverse line; the apex is parted by 
a brown patch, below it a similar undulate linear shadow extends. Hindwing yellowish. Brazil. 
A. monosticta Jones (46 e) is somewhat smaller than the preceding species and of a more reddish tint, 
with but one black discal dot and traces of a red faded apical patch, the undulate line being absent . Hindwing 
yellowish. Brazil. 
182. Genus: Aeolita Hmps. 
Only 2 small species very similar to the preceding ones, but with very long and densely haired porrect 
palpi. 
N. perstriata Hmps. (46 e). Forewing yellowish-white, tinted red-brown and strewn with brown, 
with 3 black cellular dots and a faded red-brown oblique patch from the apex to the lower cell-angle; the trans¬ 
verse lines are indicated by black vein-dots . Hindwing yellowish-white. Brazil. 
N. epicaste Schs. Forewing yellowish-white, scantily strewn with brown, this irroration being intensified 
and forming 3 feeble, distally angular transverse lines the median one of which is confluent with the brown 
border of the white reniform macula; discally and above the anal angle there are 2 brown nebulous spots. Hind¬ 
wing brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 14 mm. French Guiana.
