I. buckleyi Drc. (56 li). A large dark species. Forewings ochreous brownish, admixed with red-brown 
and violaceous grey and peppered with black. Costal area black-brown and grey in centre. Transverse lines 
black, the postmedian double. Appressions of black scales in centre and at end of cell in the place of stigmata. 
The indistinct paler subterminal is accompanied on its inner side by black sagittate marks. Hindwings red- 
brown. Ecuador. 
I. daemonassa Dyar. (56 li). This probably should not be classified in this Genus. Forewings brownish 
black, densely dusted with black, with a grey apical spot and paler brownish inner margin. The delicate dentate 
black transverse lines are conjoined on submedian fold by a black bar. Very fine black streaks in the inter¬ 
stices between the veins extend into the dentate margin. Abdomen and hindwings white, the latter transparent 
with narrowly blackened veins in the apical half. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
I. leena Drc. (56 h). Also this species does not appear to belong here. Forewings pale reddish grey with 
fine black striations, shaded in the antemedian costal half and with a narrow grey-black subapical costal spot. 
Basal area outwardly greenish, silvery white, outlined by an arched double subbasal line, the inner part of 
which is fainter and brown. A boldly dentate and very fine postmedian is faintly visible. Stigmata indicated 
by appressions of scales in and below the cell. Hindwings brownish, paler at base. Panama, Venezuela. 
I. diopis Hmps. (= aperta Drc. part.) (56 h). Forewings grey, mottled with black and brown. Basal 
area red-brown with a fuscous band distally. The latter is edged inwardly by the antemedian. Stigmata with 
a somewhat reddish tinge and with a small appression of black scales in the centre. Postmedian transverse line 
double with patches of red-brown dusting posteriorly. Black sagittate spots inwards of the grey subterminal. 
Hindwings brown. Costa Rica and Trinidad. 
1. phaeoptera Dogn. (56 i). Body and wings dark reddish brown. Both transverse lines indistinctly 
double, a dark dusted band distally of the antemedian. In the cell, in place of stigmata, appressions of black 
scales situate in paler ringlets. The sub terminal consists of black cuneiform marks. Hindwings deeper black- 
brown. French Guiana and the Amazon (Pebas). 
10. Genus: KJacogiiatlia Hmps. 
Differing from the preceding Genus by the complete absence of a proboscis, the thorax, which also lias 
an anterior tuft and short subdorsal tufts on abdomen. Wing contour is still longer and narrower. In many 
species both pairs of wings have androconia pads. On hindwings vein 3 and 5 stalked, 4 is missing, 6 and 7 also 
stalked. 
Type: E. argyritis Hmps. 
E. phaeostrota Hmps. (56 i). Like the following species, this has on the underside of forewings, below 
the centre of cell, a large androconia patch, on upper side of hindwings on costa a vestiture of a long hairy 
fringe and in, behind and below the cell, an extensive hyaline membrane; apex is protracted to a point. Fore¬ 
wings silvery white, peppered with black and with the exception of marginal area, dusted with dark brown. 
In antemedian area a row of indistinct small black spots. A black dot both in centre and at end of cell. Post- 
median line with silvery white inner edge, extends below the median nervure back to the centre, makes a big 
curve between 2 and 1, forming contact with vein 1 before the centre of the wing and thence proceeding again 
obliquely outwards to inner margin. The subterminal is black-brown with silvery white inner edge. Hindwings 
dark reddish brown. Wing expanse: 36 mm. Costa Rica, Panama. 
E. argyroleuca Hmps. (56 i). Easily recognisable by the wide longitudinal band, extending from base, 
through the cell to postmedian. Otherwise the forewing is violaceous grey, dusted especially below the cell by 
brown and black, the marginal area peppered with white. The submedian area admixed with brilliant green. 
In centre of cell a small black spot. Postmedian and subterminal black, the latter with a white edge. Hind¬ 
wings brownish. French Guiana. 
E. troctopera Schs. In this species the forewing of $ has on the underside a fringe of hairs on the sub- 
costalis and a dense androconia pad in the cell. On upperside of hindwings there is a hairy fringe at costal base, 
the margin is deeply excised between veins 6 and 3. Forewings chocolate-brown, suffused with metallic silvery 
white, with the exception of a large spot in centre of costa and smaller spots behind the postmedian and sub- 
terminal and above the anal angle. Antemedian line white, indistinct; postmedian blackish with white edge 
on both sides. In centre of cell a white spot and in place of a reniform stigma, a white lunqle with brown core. 
Subterminal line white. Hindwings brown with white costal area. Wing expanse: 40 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. phanerostola Hmps. (56 i). Forewing of with a fringe of hairs on subcostal to beyond the centre. 
Hindwings on upperside with long hairs at base of costa. The remainder of wings clothed with rough scales 
and on the submedian fold with a brush of upturned curved hairs. The margin below the apex is flat and deeply 
excised in submedian area. Forewings silvery white, suffused with red-brown; a colouration of deeper red- 
brown with golden gloss occurs in a spot under the base of cell, in a larger antemedian spot, that is conjoined
