the middle, the upper one close before the angle; the two lower radial veins and the upper one with the subcostal 
vein are extremely long-petioled. Costal vein feeble. The distal margin is in the <$ very concavely excised; 
above at the cell-end a round scent-spot. The genus only contains two very small species: 
D. osmophora Hmps. (30 h). White with ochreous dusting. Costa of the forewing towards the base 
black; in the basal and marginal areas disperse darker scales and a large, postmedian horseshoe-spot of black 
colour. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Mexico (Vera Cruz). 
D. quadriplaga Dogn. is smaller, the spot of the forewing is distally almost square; besides there are 
a fine marginal line dotted black and in some places black speckled fringes. Hindwings brown. Expanse of 
wings: 14 mm. French Guiana. 
105. Genus: Cyclosticta Hmps. 
Rather closely allied to the preceding and chiefly distinguished by the non-excised margin of the hind¬ 
wing in the $. On the forewing the two lower radial veins are petioled. The d shows beneath in and below 
the cell-end a large, reddish-yellow androconium. Veins of the hindwings similar as in Disoidemata, but the 
footstalks of the radial and subcostal veins much shorter. Only 1 species: 
C. discata Schs. (36 h). On body and wings white, dusted yellowish; the costal margin of the 
forewing ochreous-yellow, proximal margin dusted brownish-grey. Hindwing white with a yellowish-white 
scale-spot in the cell-end. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
106. Genus: Miutopola Hmps. 
In the venation different from Cyclosticta by the upper radial vein of the forewing rising from below 
the upper cell-angle. Palpi shorter, more slender; forehead rounder. The d exhibits above in the subcostal 
space and in the upper half of the cell rows of scent-scales. The roughly haired proximal margin of the hindwing 
is inverted. Only 1 species: 
M. braziliensis Schs. (36 i). Head and thorax light-brown, abdomen more grey, with a brownish anal 
tuft. Forewings light brown, in the median area and proximal angle dusted blackish-brown. Hindwings whitish, 
towards the base brownish. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Brazil (Petiopolis, Rio de Janeiro). 
107. Genus: Disaulota Hmps. 
The only species forming this genus derives its name from the resemblance to the Pierid genus Leptalis, 
caused by its white colour as well as by the abnormously large hindwings. Proboscis developed; the erect palpi 
do not reach the vertex, d antennae ciliated. Forewing short with a curved costal margin, the apex and distal 
margin uniformly rounded. The venation is very peculiar from the circumstance that, beside the usual accessory 
cell, another one is effected by the anastomosing of the upper and lower radial vein, in the first third of the 
two beyond the discocellular; the middle radial is absent. The hindwings are larger and longer than the 
orewings; the lower radial anastomoses with the upper median vein, the middle one being absent; the xupper 
radial vein and subcostal unpetioled. Costal margin long-haired. 
D. leptalina Drc. (36 i) is Avhite, on its head, thorax, as well as the discal area and base of pro imal 
margin of the forewing dusted purple-blackish. Hindwing below the middle of the margin blackish-grey. The 
<S shows beneath in the discal area a very large androconium, the costal margin is beneath hairy. Expanse 
of wings: 40 mm. Costa Rica. 
108. Genus: Tigrloifles Btlr. 
Proboscis fully developed; palpi stretched forward. <$ antennae with ciliary bristles; posterior tibiae 
with short spurs; abdomen roughly haired. Forewings long and narrow, the costal margin towards the apex 
curved, with a short distal margin. The lower median vein emerges at the base curved from the middle 
of the cell, the upper one is on a long footstalk with the lower radial vein; the middle radial is absent, 
the upper one is petioled with the 3 lower subcostal veins; the first subcostal anastomoses with the costal 
vein. The lower median vein of the hindwing rises far before the cell-angle, the upper one on a long 
footstalk with the lower radial vein, the middle radial is absent, the upper one is petioled with the subcostal 
vein; the costal rises from the middle of the cell. 
To this genus being sometimes also denominated Lexis belong about 20 species mostly rather similar 
to our Lithosia. In the Old World the genus is widely distributed and particularly numerous in the Malayan 
Archipelago. In America there is only 1 species looking something like a much-flown Lithosia de plana or cereola. 
As to further particulars about, the genus see Vol. X, p. 214.
