Rh. miniana Grt. (48 c). Forewing light orange-yellow, in the discal area white with a feebly curved miniana. 
yellow median line in it, and a dentate red undulate line. Hindwing red, base and liind-margin orange-yellow. 
New Mexico. 
Rh. pallicincta Am. (48 c) was described as a Schinia ; forewing yellowish, in the basal area more pallicincta. 
whitish with broad white faded transverse stripes, without maculae; occasionally the undulate line is marked 
by proximal brown powdering at the costal margin. Hindwing blackish, tinted with pink, with light fringes. 
Utah, California. 
Rh. vollipia Fitch. (48 c). Eorewing carmine-pink, with 2 closely adjacent ochreous-yellowish faded volupia. 
transverse lines, from the posterior line whitish vein-streaks proceed, both the lines being connected on the 
submedian fold; the undulate line is finely dentate, fringes orange like the body which is pink on the ventral 
side. Hindwing carmine with orange fringes. Texas, Colorado. — In f. volupides Strd. (= ab. 1. limps.) the volupides. 
white transverse lines are narrower and do not anastomose on the sub median fold, the undulate line is obsolete. 
Rh. masoni Am. (48 c) is similar to volupia, with darker carmine forewings, brownish-orange transverse masoni. 
lines and fringes, the two middle lines being submedianly connected. Hindwing blackish-brown with a carmine 
hue, fringes orange-brown. Colorado. 
Rh. aden Streck. Ground-colour purple carmine powdered with grey, the transverse lines are broad, aden. 
faded and white; at the cell-end there is a dark reniform macula; fringes as well as the hindwings brownish- 
black. Colorado. 
17. Genus: Podagra Am. 
Very closely allied to the following genus, with shorter palpi and a stronger frontal projection; the 
body is rather slim compared with the long and broad wings. The tibiae are all short and remarkably thickened, 
spines and thorns exactly as in Prochloridea , only the inside spine being much shorter. Only 1 species: 
Type: P. crassipes Am. 
P. crassipes Am. (48 c) is a very different insect. Forewing light ochreous-brownish, strewn with crassipes. 
blackish particularly at the costal margin and in the hindmarginal portion of the median area; the blackish 
transverse lines are interrupted in the shape of spots, the posterior line forms in the lower half a flat distally 
concave bow and is here double owing to a shadowy stripe outside, it rises near the apex from a darker 
spot. Fringes speckled. Hindwing white. Arizona. 
18. Genus: Prochloridea B.&McD. 
Proboscis developed, palpi erect; below the roundish frontal projection the horny plate is absent; 
thorax clad with hah' intermixed with scales. On the anterior tibia there is at the end outside a slender horny 
spine and 3 or 4 thorns on the side, inside a similar terminal spine and a small thorn. The posterior tibiae are 
remarkably spineless, only the middle tibiae exhibit thorns. 
Type: P. modesta B. ds. McD. 
P. modesta B. ds McD. (48 c). Eorewing brown, in and behind the cell-end, and at the hind-margin modesta. 
strewn with a somewhat darker colour; the markings are quite indistinct, only the reniform macula is visible 
as a small white strigiform spot; the entirely obsolete dentate postmedian line is distally bordered with whitish; 
in the lighter marginal area there are a few darker small spots. Hindwing white, at the distal margin somewhat 
smoky. New Mexico. 
P. madonna B. do McD. (48 cl) may be merely a race of modesta , it is smaller and greyer. Eorewing madonna. 
uniformly black, scaled white and grey, with 2 broad light brown longitudinal stripes from the base of the cell 
to the apex and anal angle; transverse lines very indistinct, light grey, the maculae being also quite indistinct, 
in the marginal area with blackish internerval streaks. The white hindwing in the distal third strewn with 
dark. California. 
19. Genus: Ijygraiitlioecia Grt. d-Rob. 
Proboscis developed, palpi obliquely rising, below the roundish frontal projection with a bent horny 
plate. Anterior tibia short and broad with 2 long bent horny spines and 2 to 4 thorns inside and 3 to 5 horny 
spines outside. Quite a number of mostly rather small species with variegated markings. 
Type: L. marginata Hew. 
L. bimatris Harv. (48 cl) is uni-coloured silvery white on the forewing and hindwing, the costal-marginal Umatris. 
half of the hindwing being somewhat smoky. Body somewhat more yellowish white, tibiae and tarsi brownish- 
grey. From Texas.
