CILLA; DANTONA; SENTA. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 321 
A. irrorata Hmps. (46 f). The reddish-ochreous forewing is densely strewn with black, with two faded 
blackish-brown oblique stripes from the apex to before and behind the centre of the hind-margin, the distal 
stripe being narrower; two black dots in the centre and at the end of the cell. Hindwing yellowish-white. 
Paraguay and Argentina. 
A. roseola Sm. (46 f). Forewing light ochreous-yellowish, at the costal margin tinted with pink, the 
two oblique stripes flesh-coloured reddish; a black dot in the centre of the cell and 2 at the cell-end. Hindwing 
yellowish-white. Florida and Texas. 
A. fratercula B. <£• McD. (46 g). On the ochreous-yellowish ground powdered with grey, shaded 
with a smoky brown; with a light oblique patch from the apex along the cell to the base, behind the cell above 
shaded with smoky brown, median vein finely yellowish; occasionally fine dark dots in the cell-end are visible. 
Hindwing smoky brown. Arizona. 
A. delicata B. & McD. (46 g). Forewing light yellowish, in the basal half and along the costal margin 
powdered with grey and densely strewn with black except' an oblique patch from the apex, and feebly yellowish 
veins; with or without discal dots; hindwing smoky grey, in the $ white, only at the margin smoky. Arizona. 
A. nyctlchroa Hmps. (46 f) has plainly ciliated antennae in the di forewing yellowish-grey, powdered 
with dark brown, with a feebly darker faded stripe below the median vein and from its end obliquely to the 
apex which is above bordered with a lighter colour; in the cell-end and behind it there are black dots; a post¬ 
median row of vein-dots. Hindwings lustrous brown with whitish fringes. Uruguay. 
188. Genus: Cillti Grt. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the straiglitly porrect 3rd palpal joint, and besides by the 
tibiae being somewhat hairy. Only one small species with somewhat broader wings than those of the preceding 
species. 
C. distema Grt. (46 g). Forewing white, in the marginal area feebly tinted yellow with fine dark veins 
and black dots in the middle and at the end of the cell, as well as a feeble postmedian row of dots. Hindwing 
yellowish-white. Texas. — In ab. depunctata Bird. ( = ab. 1 Hmps.) the postmedian row of dots is absent. 
189. Genus: Iliiuloii;* Wkr. 
Likewise of a structure very similar to that of the preceding genera, but the 2nd palpal joint is longer, 
below scaled, the scales at the end produced to a point on which the short porrect terminal joint rests. The 
thorax is clad with scales, without tufts. 
D. stillata Gn. (= discrepta Wkr., congressa Wkr., basalis Wkr.) (46 g). Forewing blackish-brown, 
powdered with lustrous’grey and strewn with black, with a black basal ray and cellular dot, instead of the 
reniform macula a minute black luna, below with a white dot; the posterior transverse line consists of small 
black sagittary spots. Hindwing lighter or darker reddish-brown, in the $ quite blackish-brown. — A variable 
species, often the forewings are of a purer brown: ab. punctifinis Wkr. — In ab. inferna Schs. there is a black 
longitudinal streak in the cell from the ring-macula to the posterior transverse line, below it in the lower cell- 
end another short black streak. — In ab. stillatella Strd. (= ab. 2. Hmps.) this longitudinal streak being situate 
on the discal fold is not black, but white, the d hindwing is darker brown. From Brazil to Paraguay and Argentina. 
D. corves Dyar has greyish-brown forewings powdered with a greyish black, with a double white 
reniform-macular spot bordered with black and connected with a black streak in the cell; an oblique postmedian 
line consists in the upper half of small black spots and is only below visible as a line, it rises shortly before 
the apex and extends to the distal third of the hindmargin; in the distal-marginal area the veins are 
somewhat darker striped. Hindwing dingy white, in the $ brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Panama. 
190. Genus: Seiiisa Steph. 
This genus being denoted as Nonagrici by Hampson has been dealt with in the palearctic part of Vol. Ill, 
p. 238; we merely recapitulate here that the proboscis is stunted, the frons smooth, the thorax is clad with 
hair and hair-scales and exhibits 2 loose tufts. Only one American species is known with a distinct sexual 
dimorphism. 
S. enervata Gn. (= fodiens Gn.) (46 g). In the d the forewing is red-brown, powdered with grey, with 
vein-dots instead of the transverse lines, and with a small black spot in the lower cell-angle. Hindwing reddish 
brown. The $ is lighter, with a brown longitudinal stripe on the median and darker veins of the marginal area; 
the transverse lines are more distinct, the posterior line as a double row of dots, in the reniform macula above 
and below black dots. Hindwing more whitish. Florida.
