H. sturmhoefeli sp. n. (47 m) is somewhat similar to virescens, smaller on an average, on the forewing siurmhoe- 
whitish olive-grey, with a silky gloss, in the hindmarginal portion strewn with black; transverse lines absent 
except the blackish postmedian line extending from shortly before the apex to the distal third of the hind- 
margin and being crossed by lighter veins, behind it the subterminal area is darkened by a greyish green; the 
undulate line is composed of black vein-dots; the ring-macula and the reniform macula are marked by blackish 
diffuse spots; on the distal margin there are distinct black dots. Hindwing diaphanous white with a broad 
black, proximacl faded marginal band and small discal spots. Discovered by Mr. Sturmhoefeo, described 
according to 2 types in the Mus. Senckenberg. Central Brazil. 
10. Genus: Oxylos Grt. 
Distinguished from Heliothis by the absence of the horny plate below the round frontal projection, 
by longer palpi, and 2 long bent horny spines, 3 thorns inside at the end of the anterior tibia and 4 horny 
spines outside. The thorax is only clothed with hair. But one species: 
Type: 0. citrinellus Grt. 
0. citrinellus Grt. (48 a) has quite monotonously light yellow forewings with a but very feebly marked citrinellus. 
reniform macula and subterminal shadow. Hindwing white with a black discal luna and a narrow marginal 
band. Known from Texas. 
11. Genus: C'hlorclegfttria Hmps. 
Like Oxylos, but the anterior tibia exhibits inside at the end but one long bent horny spine and 2 thorns, 
outside also 4 horny spines. The last palpal joint is somewhat horizontal. 
Type: Ch. simplex 8m. 
Chi. simplex 8m. (48 a). Forewing pale yellowish-green with a whitish-green costal margin; hindwing simplex. 
ochreous-yellow with a discal luna and marginal band being feebly powdered with greyish-brown. Colorado. 
Chi. felicitata 8m. (= imperialis B. & McD.) (48 a) has olive-yellow fore wings, powdered with pink felicitata. 
in the basal area. Hindwing blackish with white fringes. Described from Utah. 
12. Genus: l^isyiHMidaeii 8m. 
Characterized from the allies by the thickly haired body with a quadrangularly scaled thorax exhibiting 
a small tuft behind. The short broad anterior tibia exhibits only 2 horny spines at the end, the longer of which 
is inside. 2 species are known: 
Type: D. lucens Morr. 
D. lucens Morr. (48 a). Forewing carmine intermixed with bluish-white hairs, and with white veins, lucens, 
with dentate white transverse lines and undulate line. Hindwing yellowish with a black discal luna and marginal 
band, in which there is analwards a yellowish dentate line. Nebraska, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico. - 
f. luxuriosa Grt. is an alpine form from the Rocky Mountains with much brighter orange-yellow hindwings, luxuriosa. 
the black colour being reduced. 
D. meadi Grt. (48 a) is very similarly marked, but much smaller and paler, light yellow-greenish, meadi. 
powdered with blackish, the silvery white transverse lines are broader, bordered somewhat with blackish, the 
greenish maculae in white spots, the fringes speckled green and white. Hindwing white with a black discal 
luna and marginal band in which there is a white subterminal spot. Oregon, Montana, Colorado. 
13. Genus: Itliodopliora Guen. 
Structure of Dasypoudaea, but below the rounded frontal projection there is a slightly bent horny 
plate. The anterior tibia is spined as in the preceding genus, but laterally on both sides with thorns. The thorax 
lacks the admixture of scales. 2 species: 
Type: Rh. gaurae Abb. & 8m. 
Rh. gaurae Abb. A Sm. (= matutina Hbn.) (48 b) has light yellow forewings powdered with pink, gaurae. 
particularly in the upper half of the basal area and at the dist al margin, with a broad dark pink post median 
band being proximad faded, distally distinctly defined, and on the discal fold proximad angular. Hindwing 
white, at the margin feebly pink. Georgia, Colorado to Mexico. — The larva is orange with black transverse 
stripes on each ring, and lives on Gaura.
