as a distinct species. United States. 
C. scoteola Hmps. (36 g) has more ochreous-brownish wings with a whitish costal-marginal streak; scoleola. 
Ike costa itself is orange-yellow, in the basal third black. Hindwings blackish-brownish, fringes and border 
in front of them yellow. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Bolivia, from the Rio Songo. 
C. suffusa Bs. & McD. is a larger species, having recently been described as a novelty from Cali- mtffuw. 
fornia, with white forewings, tinted brownish, with a purely white subcostal stripe; the costal margin is blackened 
towards the base. Hindwings light brown with white fringes. Head and anal end are light reddish-yellow, 
anterior body whitish, with a pale brownish tinge, the abdomen more grey. Legs blackish-brown. Expanse 
of wings: 34 mm. 
C. pura Bs. & McD. shows a purely white body, only the ventral side and the legs are anteriorly pur a. 
blackened. Forewings silvery white, hindwings likewise white. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Carolina, Texas. 
C. impura Bs. & McD. (— casta, ab. 2 Hmps.) is much larger than the preceding and besides impura. 
different by the hindwings being tinged blackish-brownish, also the head and thorax being slightly brownish. 
Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Colorado, Arizona. 
C. dusca Bs. & McD. has a light grey body, the head being darker grey. Forewings grey, with dueca. 
a slight ochreous-yellowish tinge; by the cell-spaces being striated brownish-black the veins are set off in 
a lighter shade. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. California. 
C. allegheniensis Holl. is slate-coloured on its thorax and abdomen, the head, collar, and shoulder- alleghcni- 
covers being light yellow. Forewings likewise slate-coloured with a light yellow costal-marginal streak. Hindwing 
semi-diaphanous white. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Pennsylvania. 
102. Genus: I*liaeosia Hmps. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus and chiefly distinguished by the developed proboscis and 
rounder forehead. The palpi are somewhat longer. In the veins no difference. So far only the typical species 
is known. 
P. lutea Drc. (36 h) is whitish on the body, dusted blackish-brown. Forewings brownish-grey, at lutea. 
the costal margin lighter; the latter exhibits towards the base a black streak. Hindwings darker. Expanse 
of wings: 26 to 30 mm. Described from Guatemala. — The form: intermedia Drc. (36 h) from Mexico is on intermedia. 
the forewings much lighter. 
103. Genus: Agkonia Dogn. 
This genus contains 3 very peculiar species differing very much in the venation and with greatly differen¬ 
tiated secondary sexual marks. Proboscis well developed. Palpi erect, on the 2nd and 3rd joints laterally 
covered with long hair turned downward, projecting beyond the forehead. Antennae with ciliary bristles. 
Abdomen roughly haired. On the forewings the lower median vein rises behind the middle of the cell; the middle 
radial is absent, the upper one is petioled with the subcostal veins, the 3rd and 4th of which anastomose and 
form the accessory cell; the two uppermost subcostal veins terminate into the costal. The costal margin shows 
in the $ near the base a lobe with a hair-tuft. 
A. ovifera Dogn. (36 h) is light ochreous-yellow on its body and wings. Head, thorax, and interior oviferu. 
side of the forehips brownish, posterior tibiae with a black hair-tuft. Forewings similar as in the following 
species with a V-shaped dark band; costal base brownish. The exhibits on the median of the forewing an 
oviform androconium. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. From South East Peru. 
A. pega Dogn. (36 h) greatly resembles ovifera , but it is somewhat larger, and the androconium pega. 
is situate in the cell of the hindwing beneath, whereby the venation is greatly changed, being crowded together 
in the costal-marginal half, the larger inner-marginal half being almost void of veins. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. 
Ecuador (Loja). 
A. miranda Hmps. (36 h) is yellowish-white on its body and wings; head and thorax are brownish; miranda. 
a tuft of scales on the posterior tibiae black. The costal lobe of the forewing is black with a round spot of 
reddish-brown scales in it, connected with a large, blackish-brown inner-angular spot; at the margin and before 
it there are accumulations of dark scales, forming indistinct transverse bands. The elliptic androconium 
is placed on the footstalk of the upper radial vein with the subcostal. The shoulder-covers are greatly prolonged 
by hair-tufts. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Bolivia (Rio Songo), Peru (Marcapata). 
104. Genus: Disoideinata Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed. Palpi shorter than in the preceding and without hair. Spurs of posterior 
tibiae longer. Forewings short and broad. The middle radial vein is present, rising with the lower one from 
the cell-angle. The exhibits above a round androconium below the middle of the cell, and in the middle of 
the proximal margin a long tuft of black hair. Cell of the hindwing short; the lower median vein rises from
