RHABDATOMIS; HYPOPREPIA; EURYLOMIA; NEOPLYKES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
melinda. D. melinda Schs. (33 h) is very much lighter than the preceding, light yellowish-white; the discal 
longitudinal stripe much broader, also the hindwings are much lighter, almost white, with a narrow, brown 
marginal band. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Costa Rica. 
mandana. D. mandana Dyar (33 h) is larger, the light yellow proximal margin and distal margin is at the base 
and before the proximal angle interrupted by dark. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Brazil: Castro (Parana). 
8. Genus: ltlialxlatomis Dyar. 
Differs from the preceding genus merely by the presence of the middle radial of the hindwing. 
zaba. R. zaba Dyar (34 m) greatly resembles Haematomis radians (33 c). Bcdy yellow, on the thorax with 
a rosy tinge. Forewings grey with yellowish longitudinal stripes at the costal margin, on the median and at 
the proximal margin. Hindwings whitish, at the proximal margin yellow, at the costal and distal margins 
darkened brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Mexico (Orizaba). 
9. Genus: Hypoprepia Hbn. 
Proboscis developed, the porrec-t palpi project beyond the forehead; the short, thick antennae are 
very finely serrate, provided with ciliary pencils. Forewings with a curved costal margin; the upper median 
vein and the lower radials all rise separately, the upper one below the upper cell-angle. On the hindwing the 
middle radial is absent, the upper one is petioled with the subcostal vein, the lower one with the upper median 
vein. In their colouring and habitus they somewhat resemble the Arctiid genus Cissura. 
miniata. H. miniata Ky. (= vittata Harris) (33 i) is scarlet, on the forewings with brownish-grey longitudinal 
subomaia. stripes, on the hindwings with a similar margin and a dorsal spot on the abdomen. — In the form: subornata 
Heum. & Dyar the hindwings are carmine at the margin. Expanse of wings: 32 to 40 mm. Canada and United 
States. The larva is orange with a dark, on the posterior rings double dorsal stripe, black haired. Head black. 
fucosa. H. fucosa Hbn. (= tricolor Fitch.) (33 i) is smaller, pale yellow-reddish, towards the margin rosy 
or also entirely rosy except the orange costal margin, and with much broader grey stripes; hindwings rosy, 
plumbea. with a broad grey marginal band which in the form: plumbea H. Ediv. is much narrower and provided with a 
fine yellow marginal line. Expanse of wings: 30 to 34 mm. From Canada to Texas. 
cadaverosa. H. cadaverosa Streck. is a larger species with a yellow ground-colour, otherwise with the same 
dollii. longitudinal stripes; hindwings quite yellow, with a blackish-brown apical spot. — dollii Dyar is a smaller form 
of only 30 mm from Texas. The type has an expanse of up to 40 mm and flies in the United States (Colorado). 
inculta. H. inculta Edw. (33 i) is dark blackish-brown; shoulders grey; the forewing exhibits only one narrow, 
yellowish-white longitudinal stripe below the median, dying away towards the margin. Hindwings whitish, 
towards the margin brownish. Expanse of wings: 34 to 36 mm. Colorado. 
10. Genus: Eurylomia Fldr. 
A few large, yellow species, the d being distinguished by the proximal margin of the forewing and the 
costal part of the hindwing being very much widened in the shape of a lobe. Veins of the forewing scarcely 
different from those in Hypoprepia ; but the upper radial vein comes from the upper cell-angle. The hindwings 
are likewise similar; the transverse vein, however, is strongly angled, and the upper median vein comes from 
below the lower cell-angle; the upper radial vein comes either together with the subcostal from the upper cell- 
angle, or it is petioled with it. 
ochreata. E. ochreata Drc. (33k) is orange-yellow; antennae, legs, and lateral stripes on the abdomen are 
black like the borders of the wings. Expanse of wings: 56 mm. Honduras. 
simillifor- E. similliforma Rothsch. (33 i) is extremely similar, smaller and more slender, with broader wings, 
ma - deviating by the blackish-brown abdominal end; the borders of the wings are more blackish-brown, dusted 
grey. Expanse of wings: 48 mm. Cuba? 
cordulo. E. cordula Bsd. (= curvinervis Fldr.) (33 i) is likewise similar, though easily recognizable by the 
two black longitudinal stripes of the forewing on the discal and submedian folds; the black colour exhibits 
a green lustre. Expanse of wings: 50 mm. From Mexico and Honduras. 
11. Genus: X«*0||)1,vih i s Hmps. 
Different from the preceding genus by the antennae being long-combed in the d; the 1 st palpal joint 
long haired; 2nd and 3rd joints shorter. On the forewing the two lower radial veins rise from the same place. 
On the hindwing the middle radial vein is present and rises above the cell-angle, from which the lower radial 
vein comes together with the upper median vein. 2 species known of this genus. .
