183. Genus: Ahlitsi Dyar. 
Likewise very closely allied to Acylita, but with somewhat longer palpi and a more smoothly scaled 
thorax without any admixture of hair and tufts; tibiae likewise scaled, not hairy as in Acylita, forewing narrower 
with a rectangular apex; the subcostal neuration is somewhat different, since the 4 lower branches rise all 
on a common pedicle and the accessory cell is only very small. 
A. adin Schs. (46 e). Forewing light reddish-yellow, strewn with a pinkish brown, particularly above cidin. 
the submedian vein, in the cell, and at the distal margin; instead of the transverse lines there are single vein- 
dots, at the cross-vein a dark dot to which a feeble oblique costal shadow extends. Hindwing dark grey with 
a darker central dot. Costa Rica and Panama. 
A. nymphica Dyar (46 e) has pinkish-yellowish forewings strewn with dark brown, with a small black nymphica. 
discal dot and the beginnings of the transverse line only at the costal margin. Hindwing whitish. Expanse of 
wings not stated. Panama. 
A. grammalogica Dyar (46 e) is on the forewing straw-coloured, shaded with olive-brown, particularly grammalo- 
in the shape of stripes at the distal margin and apex, with a small white discal dot bordered with black, and 4 (Jlca 
fine brown transverse lines, the most distal (subterminal) one being broken up into moon-spots. Hindwing 
of a dingy light brownish colour. Expanse of wings: 17 mm. Panama. 
184. Genus: Itliyncliolita Hm<ps. 
Like Neolita, but with still much longer palpi being 3 times the length of the head, porrect, and above 
and below hairy; tibiae hairy, not scaled as in Neolita, forewing very narrow with a pointedly produced apex. 
R. atripuncta Hmps. (46 e). Forewing yellowish grey, feebly tinted reddish and strewn darker, with vein- atrvpuncta. 
dots instead of the transverse lines and small black maculae. Hindwing light flesh-coloured with a small black 
discal dot and a row of vein-streaks behind it. Brazil. — ab. nigroalba Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) shows the maculae nigroalba. 
centred whitish. 
R. diaperas Hmps. is similar to nigroalba, the maculae being white and surrounded by blackish- diaperas. 
brown; the reniform macula contains yet black dots above and below; a yellowish-white patch extends from 
the apex to the reniform macula, it is above and below bordered with red-brown; the dark brown subterminal 
line is undulate. Hindwing yellowish-white with a bent postmedian line and central spot, at the margin brownish. 
Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Brazil: Castro (Parana). 
185. Genus: Traiaoses Schs. 
Proboscis developed, palpi obliquely rising, densely scaled, the 2nd joint below hairy, the 3rd very 
short. Thorax scaled, tuftless like the abdomen. Forewing narrow with a roundish apex and an oblique distal 
margin. On the hindwing the upper median rises on a long fork with the lowest radial branch, and likewise 
the uppermost radial branch with the subcostal branch, the middle radial being relatively strong and coming 
out near the lower cell-angle. 
T. hirtipuncta Schs. (46 f). Forewing yellowish-reddish white, scantily strewn with brown, the upper Mrtipuncta. 
half of the cell, the space below the median as far as the submedian fold, and a subapical patch are white; 
above the median a brownish longitudinal stripe extends behind the cell obliquely upwards to the apex as in 
most of the species of Amolita ; the maculae are indicated by brown dots. Hindwing white. Expanse of wings: 
20 mm. Costa Rica. 
T. perangulata Hmps. Forewing on the white ground strewn with reddish brown and scantily with perangula- 
a darker tint, costally and in the cell striped red-brown, with reddish-brown transverse lines, the anterior line 
twice very much distally angled, the posterior line distally bordered with white, below the costal margin very 
acutely distally angled as far as near the margin, then very obliquely extending to the hind-margin; maculae 
indicated by dots; apex parted by a long reddish-brown wedge. Hindwing brownish-white. Expanse of wings: 
24 mm. Peru. 
T. punctilinea Hmps. has yellowish forewings powdered with reddish-brown, the transverse lines punctilinca. 
marked by scanty black dots, being connected at the posterior line by a brownish line extending similarly as 
in perangulata-, at the cell-end two dots behind each other; a brownish undulate line proceeds from the apex 
and is contiguous with the acute angle of the post median line. Hindwing yellowish-white. Expanse of wings; 
20 mm. Colombia.
