LEPTOPEPLA; EUCLEMEN SIA; ADOXOSIA; EUTELESIA; CLEMEN SI A. By Dr. M. Draudt. 245 
N. cytheraea Drc. (33 k) has grey-brown forewings with light yellow costal-marginal and inner-marginal cythcraea. 
stripes, hindwings yellow, anteriorly brownish. Body orange-yellow; spots on the shoulder-covers and the 
underside are black. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Mexico. 
N. eudora Dyar (33k) is a quite unicolorously yellowish white animal; only the neck is orange, and eudora. 
the combs of the antennae are black. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Texas. 
12. Genus: licptopcplsi Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding by longer, erect palpi and very thinly scaled wings. On the forewing 
the uppe T ’ radial vein rises below the cell-angle, the 4 lower subcostal veins rise from one pedicle. On the hindwing 
the upper median vein rises from below the cell-angle. 
L. procridiformis Hmps. (33 h) is a one-coloured blackish-brown, small animal, thinly covered with procridifor- 
diaphanous scales. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Bolivia, Peru. mls '

13. Genus: XWicleineusia Hmps. 
Proboscis developed. Palpi long and thin, erect, projecting beyond the vertex; d antennae with ciliary 
pencils. On the forewing the upper median vein rises before the cell-end, the two lower radial veins from the 
lower angle, the upper one from the upper angle; the 3 lower subcostal veins petioled, the two upper ones likewise. 
On the hindwing the upper median and lower radial vein are coalescent, the middle one from the lower cell- 
angle, the upper one being petioled with the subcostal. The genus was based upon 1 species captured by A. 
H. Fassl at the Quindiu Pass in Colombia. 
E. umbrata Dogn. (34 m). Body white, on the thorax mixed with red-brown. Forewings white with umbrata. 
brown antemedian, median and postmeclian transverse lines, between the middle one and distal one dusted 
red-brown and strewn with black, with a black cell-epot; before the margin red-brown dusting. Abdomen 
and hindwings white. Expanse of wings: 26 nrnr. Colombia. 
14. Genus: Adoxosia Hmps. 
Different from the preceding genus by somewhat shorter, straightly porrect palpi; on the forewing 
the upper radial vein rises from below the upper cell-angle; the two upper subcostal veins rise separately, the 
uppermost anastomoses with the costal; on the hindwing the upper median vein and the lower radial veins 
all rise separately. Only 1 species: 
A. excisa Hmps. (33 k) is yellowish-white, dusted brown, on the forewing with indistinct, darker exrisa. 
lines. Hindwings yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
15. Genus: Eutelesia Hmps. 
Differs from Adoxosia by combed antennae; on the forewing the middle subcostal vein is absent; on 
the forewing the middle radial comes from the middle of the transverse vein, otherwise not different. Up to 
this day 2 dark smoky brown species are known, very much like each other, from Colombia and Costa Rica. 
E. vulgaris Drc. (33 k) is light ochreous brown, on the forewings strewn with dark brown, with vulgaris. 
an indistinct, brown, oblique antemedian line, black dots at the cell-end and beyond the middle, a double ante- 
marginal row of dark dots, and black marginal streaks. Forewings light yellowish. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
E. phaeochroa Hmps. (33 k) is red-brown, on the forewings darker, in the basal area and at the phaeochroa. 
costal margin more ochreous-yellowish. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Colombia. 
16. Genus: Clemensia Pack. 
Proboscis developed, palpi erect, reaching the vertex; posterior tibiae with long spurs. Abdominal 
end long haired. On the forewing the middle radial vein rises from the lower cell-angle or above it, or on a 
short pedicle with the lower one; the upper one rises from below the upper cell-angle. Hindwings like in the 
preceding genus, but the middle radial comes more from near the lower cell-angle. -— In 1900 only one dozen 
species were known (according to Hampson). Today the number has increased to almost three times as many. 
The insignificant species slightly recalling Nola by their habitus are confined to the neotropical region except 
two, one of which scarcely proceeds beyond the nearctic frontier, while the other goes as far as New England. 
The latter species being sometimes of a pure, sometimes dull whitish-grey, clouded or speckled, has, according 
to its colouring, received 5 different names.
