T. sericata Schs. (50 f) has lilac brown forewings with long light transverse striae, at the costal and sericata. 
inner margins scantily strewn with black, with 2 black dots in the middle and at the end of the cell, and with 
a light posterior transverse line. Hindwing whitish, at the margin brownish. Costa-Rica. 
T. lucens Schs. (50 f). Fore wing light brown, in the marginal third lilac grey with a silken lustre, lucent. 
scantily strewn with black, with the same black cellular dots as in sericata, and a finely dentate posterior 
transverse line which ends scaled blackish-brown in the middle of the inner margin. Hindwing white with 
yellow fringe and anal margin and with small brownish-grey spots in the upper marginal half. Costa-Rica. 
T. cacodoxica Dyar (50 f) is very similar to modesta and red-brown on the forewing, strewn with purple ccicodoxica. 
and also red, the markings the same though very indistinct, with but one black discal dot. Chiefly distinguished 
by the brownish-grey hindwing. Mexico, Costa-Rica. 
17. Genus: Hhn. 
This genus of a cosmopolitan range has already been dealt with at large in Vol. Ill, p. 2G1, and Vol. XI. 
It suffices here to say that the great number of particularly Indo-Australian species are also represented in 
America. Very closely allied to the preceding genera and characterized by the strongly developed middle 
radial on the hindwing distinctly rising below the middle of the cross-vein, erect moderately long palpi which 
are above not more intensely haired or scaled, a fully developed proboscis, a tuftless thorax and abdomen, and 
the subcostal neuration on the forewing as in the preceding genera. 
E. minima Guen. (= pennula Fldr., carmelita Morr.) (50 f). The white forewing with a yellowish tint, 
at the costal margin towards the base brownish, with a brown, inwardly faded median band and a white post- 
meclian line; at the cell-encl 2 black dots; undulate line white, at the costal margin expanded like a spot with 
a black dot in it, outside with single black dots and a larger one above the anal angle. Hindwing white, at the 
margin brownish. From Texas and California to Argentina, also in South Africa. — f. pallida Schs. is more 
monotonous, grey in the ground-colour. — The larva is brown without markings, somewhat granulated, with 
a black head, neck-shield and anal shield; it lives on Gnaphalium. 
E. cinnamomea H.-Schdjf. (= laphyra Drc., rosescens Hmps.) (50 f). On the yellowish-white ground, 
excepting the costal-marginal and distal-marginal areas, dusted with red-brown, in the discal area more with 
a purple grey, with antemedian, median and postmedian red-brown transverse lines, outside bordered with 
yellowish, behind the exterior line an oblicpie brown costal-marginal shadow. Hindvdng yellowish-white, at 
the margin more reddish brown. Very widely distributed from Mexico to Uruguay. — ab. subcinnaniomea Strd. 
(= ab. 1. Hmps.) exhibits a more intense yellow' tint on the forewing, the basal area being somewhat flesh- 
coloured. — ab. margaritae Berg is more intensely strewn blackish-brown on body and wings. 
E. irresoluta Dyar (50 f) is very similar to the preceding species, but twice its size and of a much lighter 
colouring. Forewing yellowish, dusted with light red, in the costal area light, with straight light parallel 
transverse lines and a small grey reniform macula. Hindwing yellowish-white, outside somewhat brownish. 
Mexico (Orizaba). 
E. carterotata Dyar (50 f). Forewing in the costal portion yellow, below it tinted violet and purple, 
in the marginal area fiery red, traversed by a purple subterminal shadow; the interior transverse line is but 
very feebly marked, the exterior line oblique, whitish. Hindwing yellowish, outside with a pink hue. Costa-Rica. 
E. obliqualis Fbr. ( = flammicincta Wkr., pallescens H.-S., stalii Wllgr., laphyra Drc. part.) (50 f) is 
yellowish white on the fore wing, more or less dusted with brownish, with an oblique, rather broad light oblique 
line from the apex to the centre of the inner margin, inside often edged with purple grey, a fine light post median 
line above it, which however is more divergent towards the anal angle. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin 
reddish-brown. Distributed from Alabama and Texas to Peru. — f. patruelis Grt. exhibits also yet an oblique 
anterior transverse line. — f. patula Morr. is lighter, in the marginal area hardly with a reddish hue. — f. 
luteipennis Strd. (= ab. 3. Hmps.) is more intensely yellow, less hued with red-brown, with indistinct markings, 
but more intense black marginal dots. — f. brunneoochracea Strd. (= ab. 4. Hmps.) (50 f) is uniformly dusted 
with ochreous brown, from Mexico. 
E. flavia Hmps. (50 g) is a small monotonously light yellow insect, only at the costal margin and in 
the distal-marginal area with a light brownish tint, and with a marginal row of black dots. Hindwing light 
yellow, at the margin feebly brownish. From Panama.

18. Genus : Phobolosin Dyar. 
Its position is somewhat questionable, as the typical species was at first considered to be a Nolida, then 
an Amphipyrina. Proboscis developed, palpi obliquely erect, the middle joint below covered with projecting 
hairs; on the metathorax a small loose tuft of frequently metallic scales. In the neuration it differs from 
Eublemma in all the 4 lower subcostal branches of the forewing rising on a stalk, only the uppermost being free. 
Very small species similar to Nolidae, often decorated with metallic colours.
