14. Genus: Gclcnipsa Dyar. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the stunted proboscis and more slender palpi, long-combed 
male antennae, shorter and broad forewings with a curved costal margin and long cell; neuration as in 
Microblemma, but the middle subcostal branch is absent; on the hindwing the upper median branch and the 
lowest radial branch are separated. 
G. psychodidarum Dyar (50 e). Forewing grey, strewn with brown and black, with a copper-red distal- 
marginal spot; lower half of central area red-brown as far as the dentate subterminal line, behind it greyish 
green with 2 black spots therein; towards the base there are yet 2 green spots at the costal and inner margins. 
Hindwing brownish-grey, towards the margin darker. Panama. 
15. Genus: Proroblcmnia Hmps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi rather long with a short porrect terminal joint, the middle joint above, 
especially towards the end, covered with long hairs; body scaled and tuftless as in the allied genera. On the 
forewing only the 3 middle subcostal branches are stalked, the lowest comes from the upper cell-angle, the 
upper radial branch from below it; on the hindwing the middle radial is well developed, the costal branch 
anastomoses with the centre of the upper edge of the cell. 
P. sticfopteris Hmps. (50 e) has a light purple forewing scantily strewn with black, in the postmedian 
area excepting the costal portion deeper red, with a black dot in the centre of the cell; posterior transverse 
line and undulate line rather indistinct, blackish brown, at the margin there are black dots. Hindwing purple 
brown with light red fringe, in the male more yellowish-white, only at the margin reddish; the shows a large 
black reniform macula. Brazil (Amazons, Espiritu Santo). 
P. testa B. <b McD. (50 e), the only North-American representative, has brownish forewings distally 
shaded by purple, with very indistinct markings, the maculae punctiform, the feeble posterior transverse line 
light purple, only behind the cell darkened black; the feeble undulate line is likewise purple reddish. Hindwing 
whitish, outside smoky. Florida. 
P. polystriga Hmps. (50 e) is purple pink on the forewing, densely strewn with brown, intermixed with 
single silvery scales, with a light discal spot and dark transverse lines behind the middle, the postmedian line 
outside bordered with whitish, the subterminal line double. Hindwing light brown, with black marginal dots 
as on fore wing. Western Colombia. 
P. i osea Schs. (50 e). Forewing pinkish lilac, dusted with brown and transversely striated in violettish- 
brown, the most densely so in the postmedian area, with a black dot in the centre of the cell and a pink discoidal 
streak; posterior transverse line pink, apex shaded with pink. Hindwing yellowish white with dark marginal 
dots. Costa-Rica. 
P. philogonia Dyar (50 e). The long pointed forewing exhibits in the centre of the distal margin and of 
the inner margin one strong angle each, the $ a tuft of yellow scent-scales at the anal margin of the liind- 
wing. Forewing of $ straw-coloured, of $ pink, densely strewn with grey, with a white exterior transverse 
line and 2 black cellular dots. Hindwing yellowish, in the $ more brownish-grey. Panama. 
P. cupreispila Dyar (50 e). Forewing broad triangular with a convex distal margin, purple, analwards 
copper-red, finely strewn with a darker tint, with a feeble, curved dark postmedian line and a small discal dot. 
Hindwing brownish-grey with a rather indistinct central dot and median band. Panama. 
P. porphyrea Dyar (50 e). Forewing brilliantly purple pink, behind the centre of the costal margin 
with a brown shadow, a dark postmedian line and a small round discal spot; fringe brown. Hindwing brownish 
grey. Panama. 
16. Genus: TrogoMeinma Hmps. 
Allied to the preceding genus from which it differs in much longer, straightly porrect palpi, the middle 
joint of which is very thickly scaled above, on being looked at from the side in a triangular shape with a lower 
base; the male antennae are long-ciliated. Forewing with the same neuration as in Proroblemma, but with an 
almost falciform apex below which the distal margin is deeply cut out. 
T. acutalis Schs. (50 e). Forewing reddish-brown, scantily strewn with black, with a black central 
dot of the cell and an elliptical reniform macula; median line very faintly traceable, behind it an oblique post- 
median line and a curved subterminal line; fringe deep red-brown. Hindwing white with a small brownish 
discal spot. Brazil (S. Paulo). 
T. modesta Schs. (50 f). Forewing brown, at the costal and inner margins shaded with lilac, scantily 
strewn with black in the basal and costal-marginal areas, with one black dot each in the middle and at the end 
of the cell; posterior transverse line whitish, dentate, more broken up in dots. Hindwing whitish with a small 
discal spot and a line of dark dots behind it. Mexico, Costa-Rica.
