area deep chocolate brown; undulate line white, inside shaded with dark brown. Hindwing reddish-brown with 
a white postmedian line which is spotted brown on both sides. Expanse of wings: 12 mm. Jamaica. 
20. Genus: Jeoceryiiea Hmps. 
Proboscis fully developed, palpi very similar to those in Toana , but with a longer, thickly scaled terminal 
joint; the scaled thorax exhibits in front a large flattened tuft and on the metathorax, a knob-shaped tuft of 
metallic scales; abdomen tuftless; front legs long-haired. Forewing with the normal neuration with an accessory 
cell, hindwing with a strongly developed middle radial. Only 1 species: 
N. sabulosa Schs. (50 g) was described as Capnodes, but we had no access to the description of this sdbulosa. 
species. We are greatly indebted to the author for supplying us with the figure. 
21. Genus: Moinoceryitea B.u.McD. 
The description of this genus almost entirely coincides with the preceding genus, but the last palpal 
joint is apparently longer and pointed and the prothorax tuftless; the metathorax likewise exhibits a knob 
of metallic scales. Only one Geometrid-like species. 
H. cleoriformis B. d• McD. (50 h). Forewing densely dusted and strewn with smoky brown, with cleoriformis. 
nebulous irregular darker brown transverse lines proceeding from triangular costal-marginal spots; posterior 
line dentate, bordered with white; the reniform macula is an oval brown spot; subterminal area darker brown, 
larger spots at the costal and inner margins, and a triangular spot at the distal margin above the centre; fringe 
speckled. Hindwing very similarly coloured and marked. Arizona. 
22. Genus : Oenoptera Hmps. 
Like the preceding ones, but with shorter erect palpi which are less densely scaled, with very short 
terminal joints; on the basal antennal joint there is a small hair-tuft. Thorax clothed with scales and hairs, 
tuftless. The pointed forewing lacks the accessory cell and the third subcostal branch (counted from above). 
The middle radial branch of the hindwing is fully developed. 
O. albimacula Hmps. has red-brown forewings mixed with whitish, with whitish transverse lines, the albimacala. 
posterior one inside shaded with dark brown, touching the oblique white, inside black discal streak in front 
of which a dark median line extends, which is dusted with whitish inside at the costal margin; the red-brown 
subterminal shadow is interrupted by an oblique white spot extending from the discal fold behind the post¬ 
median line to the centre of the distal margin. Hindwing whitish, dusted with red-brown. Expanse of wings: 
12 mm. Panama. 
0. leda Schs. (50 h). Forewing brown with lighter patches from the cell-end to the apex and anal angle, Icda. 
dusted with silvery steel-grey between the transverse lines, at the base of the cell and at the margin in the 
spaces between the veins; transverse lines blackish-brown with lighter borders and accompanied by silvery 
grey shadows; the reniform macula is an oblique brown line from which darker shades extend to the anal angle. 
Hindwing brownish-grey. Costa-Rica. 
0. rhea Schs. (50 h). Forewing dark brown, shaded with dark steel-grey with a silvery lustre, with rhea. 
fine light transverse lines, on the opposed sides shaded with dark, the anterior line almost removed into the 
centre; reniform macula as in leda an oblique dark brown, outside lighter streak; undulate line light brown, 
interrupted by a large light brown marginal spot. Hmdwing greyish-brown. Much smaller than leda. French 
Guiana. 
23. Genus: Ortiza Wkr. 
Proboscis developed, the rather long slender palpi are erect and smoothly scaled; thorax and abdomen 
smoothly scaled, tuftless. The neuration of the broad forewing is normal with an accessory cell. The middle 
radial branch of the hindwing is fully developed below the centre of the cross-vein. Beside numerous Indian 
(cf. Vol. XI, p. 242) and African species also a few American species have been described. 
0. rectilineata Hmps. (50 h). Forewing red-brown with a pure white costal-marginal stripe, whitish rectilineata. 
transverse lines shaded with dark on the opposed sides, and a white dot surrounded by brown, at the lower 
cell-end; small blackish-brown subterminal spots. Hindwing similarly marked. From British Guiana. 
0. leucocraspia Hmps. (50 h) is very similar, the anterior transverse line yellowish, undulating, not Uucocras- 
straight as in the preceding species, behind it a white, black-ringed ring-macula, undulate line distinctly white, P ia - 
dentate, also on the hindwing. Panama.
