GRAEPERIA; ERUVA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 
jaguaralis. Sp. jaguaralis Hmps. (= radisana Drc.) (53 d). Forewings whitish ochre dusted with fuscous in inner 
marginal half. Transverse lines yellowish white, the small stigmata dark grey. A dark shade from quadrate 
orbicular to inner margin. Hindwings brownish. The $ has grey-black bands in basal and median areas. In 
centre of inner margin 2 deep fuscous bands. Marginal area grey-black, peppered with yellowish white. Texas, 
Mexico. 
grana. Sp. grana Dogn. (53 d). Costal half orange-red, inner marginal half black-brown. Black costal dots 
and stigmata. Postmedian area almost completely black-brown with orange marginal band. Hindwings yellow- 
wliite, brownish at margin. Ecuador. 
obatra. Sp. obatra Morr. (= plumbifimbriata Grt., velata Sireck.) (53 d). Forewings yellow-white, brown in 
inner marginal half. Anterior transverse line yellow-white with wide leaden grey band posteriorly. Small leaden 
grey stigmata. The brown posterior transverse line expanding in spots on costa, the inner marginal part having 
a yellowish white outer edge. Posterior to it is a leaden grey band. 'Hindwings yellowish white, brownish at 
margin. Texas, Arizona, Mexico. 
77. Genus: Ciraeperia Grt. 
Differing from Spragueia by the shorter palpi that project obliquely upwards. The corneous plate on 
the frons varies considerably in the different species, it is often with several crenulations and points, trilobed, 
excised, large or small, with a narrow horny plate below. Neuration is identical with the preceding Genus, 
except for a somewhat displaced origin of the uppermost radial nervule. 
tripartita. G. tripartita 8m. (= mediatrix Dyar). Forewings yellow-white with large dark spot at inner margin. 
Base sparsely speckled with brownish. Transverse lines indistinct, the anterior line double. Beyond the posterior 
line, there is a blue-grey band in the lower half. A black dot denotes the orbicular stigma. Reniform is represented 
by an arc that is open underneath. Subterminal line is shaded with grey inwardly. Hindwings white, brownish 
at margin. Arizona. 
sutor. G. sutor Hmps. (53 e). Forewings yellowish with very incomplete transverse lines and a fuscous band 
dusted with deep reddish grey behind the dentate outer line. The latter extends to the central line in the inner 
marginal half. Stigmata as in tripartita. Black sagittate marks before the subterminal line. Hindwings grey- 
brown. Arizona. 
sutrix. G. sutrix Grt. (53 e) is very similar to the preceding. Anterior transverse line is double, the entire mar¬ 
ginal area is deep crimson-grey. A triangular yellow-white spot on costa in the postmedian with the yellow- 
white subterminal line, which is spotted with brown inwardly. Hindwings paler than in sutor. Colorado, New 
Mexico, Arizona. 
nuicola. G. nuicola 8m. (= carcharodonta Hmps.) closely resembles the preceding, differing by a row of crenu- 
lations on upper edge of plate on frons. Forewings yellow-white, brown in marginal area, peppered with deep 
crimson-grey on costa to subterminal line, on inner margin to centre, markings almost exactly as in sutor. Hind¬ 
wings yellowish white, brownish at margin. Texas. 
altera. G. altera 8m. (= conocharodes Hmps.) (53 e). A delicate, sleek species with pure white forewings that 
are violet-grey in marginal half. Transverse lines grey and faint. Punctiform orbicular. Reniform stigma grey 
with wiiite surround. Hindwings white, faintly grey at margin. Arizona, Mexico. 
me go cnla. G. megocula 8m. (53 e) is easily distinguishable from the preceding by its steel-grey forewings that 
are peppered with white in basal area. Reniform stigma is large with black centre and white surround. A white 
costal spot occurs at top of and anterior to the white subterminal line. Hindwings white, brownish at mar¬ 
gin. California. 
costalis. G. costalis Wkr: ( = magnifica Neum.) (53 e). Forewings dark brown, widely yellow on costa, expanding 
at the base to inner margin. Hindwings white, brownish at margin. Texas to Brazil and on Haiti. 
indubitans. G. indubitans Wkr. (= dimidiata Wkr., citrina Drc.) (53 e). Forewings fuscous, somewhat speckled 
with white, admixed with yellow in basal and costal areas. Transverse and central lines fuscous. Stigmata 
fuscous. Subterminal line with inner brown shade. In $ forewings are pale olive-yellowish faintly peppered 
with a little brown, markings more distinct. Hindwings white, brownish at margin. Texas to Brazil, Cuba 
and Haiti. 
78. Genus: Fmva Grt. 
Differs from the preceding Genus by the truncate conical process on frons, that has a raised ridge. 
Otherwise identical. Appendicular cell narrow and small. Only one species: 
fasdatella. F. fasciatella Grt. (53 e). Forewings yellow-white, dusted with brown, with indistinct fuscous transverse 
lines. A diffuse central line anterior to the small elliptical reniform stigma. Hindwings yellow-w r hite, brownish 
at margin. The $ is more densely dusted with fuscous, costa whitish, stigmata and transverse lines more distinct. 
The posterior line has a whitish outer edge, the subterminal line is whitish, the apex is intersected by an oblique 
brown streak. Texas, Arizona.
