83. Genus: Stylorache Hmps. 
This Genus has somewhat longer and sleeker upturned palpi than the nearest related Genera. Frons 
with coniform process that is produced to a sharp point. Thorax scaled and like the abdomen without crests. 
Forewings with appendicular cell, median radial of hindwing well developed. Only one species: 
S. albida Humps. (53 1). Forewings pure white with 3 delicate brown striations on costa and with a large 
semicircular, brown inner marginal spot that is dusted with mauve and extends from centre to anal angle. 
Hindwings white. Argentine. 
84. Genus: Clonacontia Sm. 
Proboscis developed, palpi oblicpiely upturned with short, sleek terminal segment. The pointed coni¬ 
form frontal process forms a sort of three-sided pyramid with the corneous plate which has its point turned 
upwards. The scaled thorax has a flattened crest at rear. No crests on abdomen. The long narrow forewings 
have an appendicular cell and hindwings a well developed median radial. 
C. huahuca Sm. (53 1). Forewings yellow-white, spotted with olive-brown and leaden grey at inner 
margin, behind the cell and at margin. In the colouration at inner margin vestiges of the pale transverse lines 
are visible. Hindwings yellow-white. Arizona. 
C. flavicosta Sm. (53 1) is very similar to the preceding but has brownish hindwings that are duskier 
at margin. Forewings are more extensively dark in inner and marginal areas, admixed with silvery mauve 
and fuscous. Transverse lines therein blackish and barely discernible. Montana, Colorado, Durango, New Mexico. 
C. orba Sm. (53 1). The inner area of forewings is still darker grey-brown extending into the yellow 
costal area in two wide bands to the costa. Orbicular stigma a dark dot. Reniform a round grey spot with 
white surround. Subterminal line and the entire anal angle yellowish white. Hindwings brownish. Arizona. 
C. angustipennis Grt. (53 1) closely resembles the $ of Tarache axendra, but is smaller and has narrower 
wings. Forewings quite mauve admixed with dark brown. A white cell stripe and subterminal. Transverse 
lines black-brown, the posterior one pure black commencing in a yellow-white triangular spot on costa. Stigmata 
with brown surrounds, reniform with yellow-white core. Hindwings brownish, darker at margin. Canada to 
New Mexico and Mexico (City). 
85. Genus: Trieliotaraclie Grt. 
Like the preceding Genus but with greater admixture of hairs in the vestiture of scales. Palpi porrect 
with long hairs. Frons with simple rounded process and with corneous plate below. 
T. assimilis Grt. (53 1). Forewings black-brown, grey-white in marginal area with conical grey-white 
patch in centre of costa. Transverse lines double, grey-white and small stigmata. Black sagittate marks before 
subterminal line. Hindwings dark fuscous, yellowish in disc. California. 
86. Genus: Moplotaraelie limps. 
To this otherwise purely african Genus, a central american representative is added. The truncate coni¬ 
form frontal process with ringed rim and central process are characteristic. Thorax scaled and without crest 
like the abdomen. Forewings with appendicular cell, hindwings with fully developed median radial. 
H. viridifera Hmps. (53 1). Forewings yellowish white with mauve marginal area. A large green costal 
spot in centre and extensive green dusting towards inner margin before the black postmedian. Stigmata marked 
in green, subterminal line brown scaled with white on inner side. Hindwings transparent white, brownish at 
terminations of veins at margin. Panama. 
87. Genus: dielicliares Hmps. 
Structure very similar to preceding Genus, short terminal segment of palpi porrect, frons with large 
corneous protuberance and ringed rim and beaker shaped central process with corneous plate below. Anterior 
tibiae with short spines on inner side at extremities. Only one species: 
Ch. nubifera Hmps. (53 1). Forewings white with double grey-brown anterior transverse line and large 
mauve inner marginal spot from centre to subterminal line. Orbicular stigma black punctiform, reniform a 
yellow streak. The white subterminal line is shaded inwardly with olive-brown and mauve-grey. Marginal 
area behind it is blue-grey with minute black spots at apex and anal angle. Hindwings white, brownish at margin. 
Argentine.
