A. phaeoleuca Dogn. (36 e) looks like an Agylla : white with a brownish-grey inner-marginal stripe phaeoleuca. 
on the forewing; similar internerval stripes are in the cell and marginal area. Beneath in the lower half of the 
cell of the forewing covered with hair. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Ecuador. 
A. pogonoprocta Dogn. (36 e) greatly resembles the preceding and differs above all by the absence of pogono- 
the hair on the under surface of the forewings, as well as by the ochreous-yellow costal margin and long, yellowish prod a. 
hair-tufts on the abdominal end of the <$. The £ is of a much purer white, only the proximal margin of the 
forewing is brownish-grey. Ecuador (Loja). 
A. humeralis Grt. (36 e) greatly resembles judas (36 e), but it has only ciliated antennae in the <$. humeralis. 
Head and thorax are orange, like the anterior and middle hips and femora, as well as the anal tuft. Shoulder- 
covers, legs and abdomen are of a brighter metallic bluish-green than in judas, so are the wings, too. The $ 
is without the orange anal tuft, but instead it shows an orange transverse band before the end. Expanse of 
wings: 38 to 46 mm. Cuba. 
96. Genus : Glaucosia Hmps. 
Proboscis developed; the short, porrect palpi do not project beyond the forehead. <$ antennae with 
ciliary bristles; tibiae with short spurs; abdomen roughly haired. On the forewing the two lower radial veins 
rise separately, the upper one from below the upper cell-angle; the 2 loAvest and the 2 middle subcostal veins 
are each on a separate footstalk, only the uppermost being free. On the hindwing the upper median vein comes 
out before the cell-angle; the two lower radial veins are petioled, so is the upper one with the subcostal vein. 
The proximal angle is long-haired. 
G. agyllia limps. (36 e) is a minute insect resembling an Agylla, with greyish-white forewings, dusted agyllia. 
brown on the proximal margin. Hindwings brownish-grey, like the head and thorax, whilst the abdomen is 
blackish-brown; chest and legs whitish. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Brazil (Espiritu Santo). 
97. Genus: JParapalosla Dyar. 
Differs from the preceding by 2 pair of long spurs on the posterior tibiae, by the presence of an accessory 
cell on the forewing, on which the uppermost subcostal vein anastomoses with the costal. All the rest as in 
Glaucosia. Likewise only 1 very small species, with much shorter and broader forewings than in Glaucosia, 
shaped like a small European Lithosia. 
P. Cinderella Schs. (36 e). Head and thorax reddish yellowish-grey; abdomen grey, towards the end Cinderella. 
darker. Forewings light grey, with a very broad, darker grey transverse shade from near the base to the cell-end. 
Hindwing whitish, towards the margin tinged grey. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. The tiny, insignificant animal 
was described from French Guiana. 
98. Genus: JSurypticlia limps. 
Of this genus 4 black and yellow species are known, closely approximating the Josiodes (35 d—f) in 
their habitus and colouring. Proboscis developed. The erect palpi do not reach the vertex and are below long¬ 
haired on the basal joint. Posterior tibiae with moderately long spurs. Forewings broad, the venation very 
much like in Glaucosia, but the two uppermost subcostal veins terminate freely from the cell into the costal 
margin, and the 3 lower ones are on a joint footstalk; no accessory cell. The venation of the hindwing similar, 
but the two lower radial veins may be petioled or also run separately. 
E. univitta Hmps. (36 f) is the only species the A antennae of which are provided with ciliary tufts, univitta. 
almost combed. Body black; forewings orange, costal margin, proximal margin, and inner-marginal vein 
black, distal margin and apex broader black; hindwings entirely black. —■ discalis nom. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) discalis. 
has a black discal spot on the- forewing also above, whilst in the typical form it is visible only beneath. 
Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Distributed from Brazil to Argentina. 
E. trifera Wkr. (= striata Btlr., laeticolor Fldr.) (36 f) has, like the following, simply ciliated trifera. 
antennae. Body and hindwings black. The forewing in the basal half orange with black-striped veins and 
folds, and an oblique, orange postmedian band. Hindwing beneath with an orange oblique band from the 
submedian fold to the lower cell-angle. — In (A) form,, nov. extensa the orange colour shows through also above extensa. 
and is beneath much more extensive. In the $ there is always a broad orange band on the hindwing, extending 
front the base of the proximal margin to the lower cell-angle and into the cell. Expanse of wings: $ 38, $ 46 mm. 
Amazon, Espiritu Santo. 
E. basivitta Wkr. (36 f) greatly resembles univitta, but it has simply ciliated antennae, and the black basivitta. 
of the inner-marginal vein extends as far as the proximal margin itself, but it ends behind the middle. Ex¬ 
panse of wings: 44 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). It almost resembles Josia auriflamma Hbn. with which it 
flies in common.
