Sch. luxa Grt. (48 h) is an entirely light straw-coloured species, the fine transverse lines are broken 
up into single brown dots; in the centre of the cell a dot, at the end a small luna. Hindwing white, the distal 
margin and hind-margin feebly yellowish. Colorado, New Mexico. 
Sch. velutina B. & McD. (48 h). Forewing almost purely white, only very feebly hued with yellowish, 
the transverse lines and the reniform macula are only in an oblicpxe exposure to light recognisable as more purely 
silky lustrous white markings. Hindwing white. Utah. 
Sell, neglecta StrecTc. (48 li) is on the forewing light ochreous-yellowish, the transverse lines and the 
reniform macula are only extremely feebly indicated, fringes white. Hindwing white, particularly towards 
the hind-margin hued with yellowish. Colorado. 
Sell, cumatilis Grt. (= sulmula Streck.) (48 h). Silvery white, the transverse lines on the averted 
sides, as well as the marginal area, accompanied by olive-grey bands. Hindwing of a pure white colour with a 
grey discal spot and narrow marginal band. Colorado, New Mexico. 
Sch. hulstia Tepp. (48 h) is extremely similar to cumatilis, but the hindwing lacks the discal spot. 
Texas, Colorado. 
Sch. tenuescens Grt. (48 h) is much smaller, otherwise very similar to the two preceding species, the 
silvery white median area is very narrow, the olive-grey bands are widened, the marginal area much lighter 
olive-grey. Arizona. 
Sell, reniformis 8m. (48 i) is likewise similar; the antemedian olive-grey band only extends from 
the cell to the hind-margin and is very narrow, the olive-grey colour is very much intermixed with white, 
at the cell-end with a larger grey reniform macula being centrally strangulated. Colorado. 
Sch. oculata 8m. (48 i). Forewing silvery white, body, basal area, and marginal area powdered with 
ochreous-yellowish like the reniform-macula which is finely surrounded with blackish; in the apex a small 
brownish spot and in the distal margin dark dots. Hindwing yellowish white with a broad dark marginal band. 
Arizona. 
Sch. macroptica 8m. (48 i) resembles oculata, the yellow basal and marginal areas are much broader, 
the ochreous-brown reniform macula is much larger and transversely oval. South Arizona. 
Sch. aleucis Harv. (48 i) differs from the preceding ones in the presence of a broad median band being 
connected with a small postcellular spot and proximad touching the yellowish basal area at the costal margin 
and hind-margin. Hindwing white with a yellowish-red marginal band. Texas. 
Sch. chrysella Grt. (= conchula Fldr.) (48 i) is similar to aleucis, with more rust-yellow transverse 
bands, the median band not united with the reniform macula, in the rust-yellow marginal band, the proximal 
border of which is dentate, with small blackish spots and a white apical spot. Hindwing white, the marginal 
band copper-brown. Texas. 
Sch. ciliata 8m. (48 i). Here the rust-brown marginal colour is quite absent, the distal margin being 
only feebly tinted yellowish behind the dotted undulate line, the ochreous-reddish median band being the 
darkest and united with the reniform macula; at the apex a small brown spot. Hindwing white, at the margin 
brownish. New Mexico. 
Sch. lucilinea Wkr. (48 i) is very different, large, on the forewing ochreous-brown with a purely 
white longitudinal band in the cell and behind it, the double purple grey postmedian line is filled with white, 
and before the centre of the hind-margin there is a purple grey spot. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. 
Haiti. 
Sch. melliflua Dyar (48 k). Forewing loam-coloured brownish with a broad white costal-marginal 
stripe, basally and subterminally tinted with pink, with a white dot below the cell instead of the anterior trans¬ 
verse line, and a small dark spot at the cell-end. Hindwing towards the margin blackened. A small species 
from California. 
Sch. trifascia Hiibn. (= lineata Wkr.) (48 k) is somewhat similar to Hel. virescens, dull olive-brown 
with 3 white oblique bands. Hindwing white, at the margin light olive-brown. Rocky Mountains, Alabama, 
Colorado. 
Sch. oleagina Morr. (48 k) is on the forewing light ochreous, the white transverse lines towards 
the base bordered with olive-brown, the subterminal area darker olive-grey as far as the almost straight white 
undulate line. Hindwing white, at the margin reddish-brown, enclosing a white spot. Colorado. 
Sch. gracilenta Him. (48 k). Forewing dull reddish-brown strewn with grey, in the median area mostly 
of a purer light grey, with yellowish-white transverse lines, the anterior line above the median vein almost 
rectangularly bent. Hindwing light ochreous, at the margin brownish. Southern States, Texas. 
Sch. accessa 8m. (48 k). Forewing silvery white, powdered with light olive-green, the transverse 
lines similar as in trifascia, but the anterior line with a long distal tooth in the cell as far as the oblong reniform 
macula which is surrounded by black. Hindwing white with a blackish marginal band and discal luna. Texas. 
Sch. sexplagiata 8m. (= pyraloides Streck.) (48 k) is similar to gracilenta, brownish-white, in the 
basal area red-brown, the subterminal area only in two spots at the costal margin and hind-margin, transverse 
lines white. Hindwing white with a dark discal luna and marginal band. Colorado.
