T. dorneri B. <P McD. (54 h) is a very small species, that most closely resembles cretata. Forewings domeri. 
white separated by an olive-yellow line on costa almost to apex from deep purple-brown outer area. Outer 
area extends from about centre of discal fold to the middle of inner margin. A whitish subterminal line with 
an olive inner edge is faintly discernible at anal angle. In the centre of the white costa there is a small dark 
triangular mark. Hindwings white tinged with brown at apex and margin. Texas. 
Genus: Hemfspragneia B.&Benj. 
This Genus has recently been established for idella, which was described as a Cerathosicr, it differs from 
Tarache by shorter palpi, a flatter scarcely arched frons, smoother scaling and the absence of the tuft on meta- 
thorax; further on the hindwings subcostal nervule is stalked with the uppermost radialis. Only 1 species: 
H. idella Barnes (54 h). Forewings white with orange apical spot and numerous small black striations idella. 
and spots on costa and at inner margin indicating the position of the transverse lines; spots and streaks in cell 
indicating the stigmata. Hindwings orange-yellow. Arizona. 
Genus: Eugraphia Guen. 
Proboscis developed, palpi porrect, frons smooth; the scaly thorax interspersed with hairs but like the 
abdomen without tuft. Neuration with appendicular cell on forewings, is regular. Several brightly coloured 
southern species. 
E. splendens Drc. (54 h). Forewings pale sulphur-yellow with “Y" shaped black transverse lines that splcndens. 
unite at lower end of cell. Distally in upper half 2 spots and a wide oblique band from apex, in lower half an 
orange-brown and anteriorly two black spots, the latter with blue centres. Margin narrowly brown-grey. 
Hindwings orange with black apical spot. — f. paraguayensis Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) (54 h) has whiter hind- paraguayen- 
wings in sex, without the dark apical spot; in £ sex an oblique blackish apical streak; from Paraguay. The 
type occurs from Mexico to Ecuador and Columbia. — i. extensa Strd. deeper yellow, hindwings have not cxiensa. 
only an apical spot, but a 4 mm wide marginal band. Peru. — f. seriata Strd. from Brazil has a shorter marg- seriala. 
inal band on hindwings that is interrupted on lower median nervure, on underside it has a spotted band com¬ 
mencing at a spot on costa and extending to anal angle. 
E. irretita Hbn. (= melanogramma Perty) (54 i) is similar but smaller, the postmedian appearing on irrelila. 
costa as 3 black lines, thus forming a trident. Marginal area suffused with orange and with a wider grey sub¬ 
terminal band. Hindwings in <§ transparent white, yellow at margin and with a small apical spot; in $ orange 
with wide black anteterminal band. Brazil. Porto Rico. 
E. effusa Drc. (54 i) can be recognised by the wide black marginal area with greenish sheen, transverse efjusa. 
lines partially intertilled with silvery blue, marginal band of orange hindwings very wide. Mexico to Panama. 
E. trilinea Schs. (54 i) has grey-brown forewings bestrewn with greenish white and with 3 orange irilinca. 
longitudinal stripes, the central one furcated at lower end of cell. Hinchvings black-brown, head and thorax 
orange. Mexico (Jalapa). Schaus is of the opinion that this is the G of the following species. 
E. obscura Schs. (54 i) has forewings unicoloured dark bronze-green bestrewn with white scales; head obscura. 
and collar orange. Hindwings black-brown. Mexico (Jalapa), described from 1 2. 
Family: Eutelianae. 
There are in America a relatively small number of species of this peculiar group with its distinctive 
characteristics. As already mentioned in Volumes 3, 11 andJ.5 it is distinguishable by the lateral anal brushes 
of hair on abdomen and the simple frenulum in the 2, which however consists of conjoined spines. The Eute- 
lianae differ from the subsequent Stictopterinae by the absence of the upraised appression of scales in cell of 
forewings. Only very few Genera are represented and these are all very uniform in appearance, so that one 
realises at first sight that they belong to this group. 
The larvae of only very few species are known and they seem to be of a similar construction to that 
of the palaearctic E. adulatrix. The larva of the north-ameriean Paectes pygmaea Hbn. is green with yellow 
spots and feeds on Liquidambar. Very little is known of its morphology and it may be assumed that the in¬ 
sects, at all events of the Genus Eutelia , rest like adulatrix with the forewings folded longitudinally and the 
abdomen curved upwards.
