with velvety black outside, the reniform macula reddish-grey, strewn with white; marginal area strewn with 
reddish with a blackish-brown subterminal shadow. Rindwing brownish-grey. Costa Rica. 
B. saniva Schs. (51 1) has brown forewings dusted with reddish-yellow' postmedianly and in the cell- 
end; the straight anterior transverse line is reddish-yellow with a violettish rusty brown shadow behind it; 
reniform macula light, strewn with yellow and red-brown, the posterior transverse linje whitish, bordered with 
blackish-brown; a dark brown costal-marginal spot is before the apex, a distally widening dark line extends 
between the upper radial branches to the distal margin. Hindwing brownish grey. Costa Rica. 
B„ mediana Schs. (51 1) is similar to poasina, light red-brown with a black central area, double trans¬ 
verse lines filled with whitish, and a conical white spot laterally bordered with black, instead of the reniform 
macula; at the apex of the costal margin there is a black spot from which the undulate line of black dots 
proceeds. Hindwing light brown. Brazil (Castro, Parana). 
B. lilacina Dyar (52 a). Forewing yellowish-grey at the base, dark violet in the lower half of the 
median area, distal area light violet with black transverse lines and a black wedge-spot before the light elliptical 
reniform macula; a larger spot at the costal margin before the dark undulate line. Hindwing light grey. Mexico. 
B. clinopetes Dyar (52 a) is extensively loam-coloured in the basal and marginal areas, marked with 
red-brown, grey behind it, blackened at the costal margin; a w'hite oblique blotch from the cell-end to the 
apex; transverse lines blackish, the posterior one double; a large whitish spot above the anal angle; maculae 
indistinct, reniform macula light, 8-shaped. Hindwing yellowish, darker at the margin. Mexico (Sinaloa). 
45. Genus: Prasiuopyra I-Imps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi erect with a long terminal joint, frons smooth. Thorax as in Bryocodia, 
the first abdominal segments tufted. Neuration as in the preceding genus with an areole on the forewing. 
P. metacausta Hmps. (52 a). Forewing light yellowish-green, mixed with whitish, with whitish in¬ 
distinct transverse lines and black dots behind them; an oblique red and black costal-marginal band extends 
down between the maculae which are surrounded with whitish, single red dots are in the reniform macula; 
the whitish dentate undulate line is indistinct, with small red and black spots. Hindwing light hemochrome. 
Cuba. 
P. semifascia Dyar (52 a) has light grey forewings with a reddish tint in the anal portion, a black 
oblique band from the costal margin between the feebly whitish-ringed maculae, and a black subapical arcuate 
streak at the costal margin; single dots instead of the transverse lines. Hindwing yellowish-white, brownish 
at the margin. Mexico (Sinaloa). 
P. metaleuca Schs. (52 a). Forewing silvery grey, feebly dusted with greyish-brown in the basal half; 
a red-brown angled stripe extends down between the large maculae which are close together, the posterior 
transverse line consists of a double row of dots, the interior ones being connected by a brownish-grey lunular 
line; a short blackish-brown stripe divides the apex, a brown costal-marginal shadow is before it; instead of 
the undulate line a brownish shadow and black vein-streaks. Hindwing white, brownish on the veins and 
margin. Costa Rica. 
46. Genus: I^eeeoclia Schs. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the absence of the areole on the forewing in which the 
4 lower subcostal branches arise on a common stalk, only the uppermost being separated; the tuft on the 
prothorax is absent, the abdomen shows tufts only on the two first segments. 
N. asna Schs. (52 a). Forewing white in the basal half with 2 brown lines and a shadow between them; 
distal half olive brown or brownish ochreous with a fine postmedian line which is bordered with a darker 
white; a black spot in the centre of the margin behind a black subterminal shadow. Hindwing greyish- 
brown. Costa Rica. 
N. albidivisa Doyn. (52 a) is brownish in the basal area of the forewing, mixed with green towards 
the inner margin enclosing 2 white transverse lines; a broader white antemedian line separates the basal area 
from the brighter brown other part of the wing which is dusted with lilac in the central area; a black streak 
at the cell-end; the marginal third excepting the apex is darker brown. Hindwing brown, whitish towards 
the base. Ecuador (Loja). 
47. Genus: CSiamyris Guen. 
Resembles the preceding genera on the whole. Thorax clad with very large scales, prothorax without 
a tuft, mesothorax with a double tuft, and metathorax with a loose tuft: abdomen tufted on the first segments, 
the tuft on the 4tli segment being exceedingly large. Forewing with an areole, hindwing with a fully deve¬ 
loped middle radial branch. Only two large North-American species:
