CELAMA. By Dr. M. Dratidt. 
car ill a. C. carilla Schs. (32 k) is a tiny, greyish-white animal, mixed with brown on the thorax; on the 
forewings, with a brown base of the costal margin and a triangular spot in the middle of the costal margin, 
there are antemedian and postmedian transverse lines, the latter composed of dots; below the middle costal- 
marginal spot a scaled spot at the cell-end which is continued to the proximal margin, below the lower median 
vein as a line parallel to the posterior transverse stripe; before the margin and on it one brown line each. 
mediofas- Hindwings white, dusted darker. — The median area may be darkened in the shape of a band: f. mediofasciata 
ciata ■ nov. (32 b) (Fassl, Orosi). Expanse of wings: 12 to 18 mm. Costa Rica. 
scruposa. C. scruposa spec. nov. (32 b) resembles the preceding, but it has somewhat narrower wings, and is 
much more coarsely scaled, chalky white, thickly strewn with black scales; the median area darker by blackish- 
brown scales in the shape of a band, the scheme of markings otherwise just like in carilla ; in the cloudy undulate 
line and before the fringes there are distinct black vein-streaks. Hindwings lighter. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. 
1 $ from Orosi, Costa Rica; type in the Coll. Fassl. 
a phyla. C. aphyla Hmps. (32 1) shows on the grey forewing strewn with black 2 dentate transverse lines being 
sharply broken in an acute angle; besides an irregularly dentate, antemarginal line. Hindwings white, towards 
the margin darkened. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. California. 
semirufa. C. semirufa Dogn. (32 b) is easily recognizable by the forewing being white in the smaller basal half 
and distally red-brown; in the middle of the cell a small heap of black and silvery scales, beyond the middle 
black vein-dots and small, white, costal-marginal dashes. In contrast with the following, the border between 
white and brown is a straight line. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Colombia. 
dimera. C. diniera Dogn. (32 b) differs from the preceding, very similar species by the bent black line separating 
the white area of the wing from the brown one; a postmedian, undulate, black line and, besides, 2 somewhat 
more indistinct, antemarginal lines. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. French Guiana. 
Sect. II. Antennae of the $ with ciliary tufts (Aradrapha). 
pustulata. C. pustulata Wkr. (= nigrofasciata Z., obaurata Morr.) (32 b) is white; forewings with heaps of black 
scales at the base of the cell, as well as in and behind the cell-end; at the base of the costal margin there 
is a brown spot strewn with black; a similar, almost triangular median band is distally bordered by the 
punctiform postmedian line; before the margin an irregularly dentate line and on the margin a dark macular 
band. The white hindwings are brownish towards the margin. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Northern Atlantic 
States. 
cilicoides. C. cilicoides Grt. (32 k) differs from the preceding by the median band being placed much more towards 
the margin and being tinted only quite pale brown. A small heap of blackisli-brown scales with a leaden-lustrous 
admixture. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Atlantic States. 
appelia. C. appelia Hmps. (32 k) is likewise somewhat similar, in the basal half dusted brownish with accu¬ 
mulations of brown scales in the base, middle and end of the cell; before the middle a brownish transverse line; 
the brown dusting before the postmedian is much less sharply defined. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Brazil 
(Sao Paulo). 
soryhiella. C. sorghiella Riley (= portoricensis Mschlr.). Forewings purely white with a brown base of the 
costal margin; small heaps of scales as in appelia', the brown dusting before the posterior transverse line is 
absent, only beyond the lower cell-angle it is exhibited in the way of spots; in tHe lower marginal half there 
is an undulate line. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Most widely distributed from North Carolina through Dutch 
Guiana as far as Argentina. — The larva is yellow or greenish with a brimstone-coloured dorsal stripe bordered 
on both sides by brown, and stiff hairs on tubercles; in the sides there are somewhat longer hair. It lives in 
a web on Sorghum vulgare and turns into a yellow-brownish, darker granulated pupa. 
iriqitelrana. C. triquetrana Fitch. (= trinotata Wkr., sexmaculata Grt.) (32 b) is grey, densely dusted brown, on 
the collar with a red-yellow band and brown spots on the shoulders. The forewings exhibit at the costal margin 
3 red-brown spots, the two posterior ones of which exhibit small heaps of scales at their lower ends; 3 oblique, 
partly dentate transverse lines cross the wing. Hindwings whitish, towards the margin brownish with a small 
median dot. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. North America, California. — Larva light yellow with blackish dorsal 
and subdorsal lines and white hairs on tubercles. It only eats the upper epidermis of the leaves of Hamamelis 
virginica and pupates in a scaphoid casing with small pieces of bark pasted on it. 
minna. C. minna Btlr. (= hyemalis Stretch.) (32 a). White, strewn with brown; before and behind the middle 
there are oblique rows of dots, before the margin an irregularly undulate line; at the base of the costal margin 
with a red-brown, oblong spot. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. California. 
ovilla. C. 0villa Grt. (32 b) is an insignificant, greyish-brown, darker strewn, small animal with indistinct, 
partly punctiform transverse lines and small heaps of scales at the base, middle, and end of the cell. Hindwings
