U. galapagensis Wllgr. (38 li) is a small species, having so far only been found in the Galapagos, galapayen- 
Dirty whitish-grey. Forewing in the basal part tinted yellowish-brown, with a similar band-stripe through 
the middle and before the margin. In the disc traces of red colouring. Hindwings distally yellowish-brown, 
towards the base lighter, without the black marginal band. 
11. Genus: DodJa Dyar. 
This genus, entirely unknown to me, was established for a single species discovered in the west of 
Canada, recalling Parasemia plantaginis by its size and wing-contours, though the colouring and marking is 
quite different. The cell of the forewing has almost 3 / 4 the length of the wing, the cell of the hindwing 3 / 4 
the length of the wing. On the hindwing the discocellular is concave, but not angled, and veins 3 to 5 (the 
upper medians and lower radial) emerge from the lower cell-angle. Proboscis feeble, ocelli large, body slender, 
Geometrid-like. Posterior tibiae with 4 spurs, anterior tibiae with a terminal prong. 
D. albertae Dyar. The butterfly being preponderantly yellowish-brown is so far only known from albertae. 
the District of Alberta. The transparent grey forewing exhibit, beside the dark veins,' whitish, undulate 
subterminal lines; base of the wings suffused whitish, forewing with a grey, curved subbasal and a grey, slightly 
undulate median oblique band. Hindwings semi-diaphanous. Expanse of wings: 34 to 35 mm. Taken in June 
and July. 
12. Genus: Kodiosoma Strech. 
This genus contains only 1 small Californian species somewhat resembling the palearctic Ocnogyna 
by its shape and habits, though the $ is winged, as much as we know. Like in the Ocnogyna, the Kodiosoma 
are without a proboscis; the head is hidden in woolly hair, and the palpi, likewise shaggily haired, are porrect. 
The venation of the forewing only differs from that of Ocnogyna by the 2nd subcostal vein being petioled with 
the 3rd to 5th in the latter genus, whilst in Kodiosoma it branches off before the cell-end. No areola. 
K. fulva Stretch is to be recognized by the snow-white collar separating the dark head from the fulva. 
brown thorax. The wings are thinly scaled, the hindwings even semi-diaphanous. In typical specimens the 
abdomen and hindwings are orange-yellow; in ab. tricolor Stretch (38 h) the hindwing is dull rosy-red; in eavesi tricolor. 
Stretch (38 h) the abdomen and hindwings are blackish, and in nigra Stretch the abdomen is orange-yellow only e( [ vesi - 
at the apex; it otherwise resembles the preceding. Distributed in California and not rare. 
13. Genus: Ocnogyna Led. 
This genus, being otherwise purely palearctic, has been dealt with at large in Vol. II, p. 76 to 78, and 
Vol. X, p. 237. A small butterfly from South America is said to belong here. Neither Oberthur, who described 
the species first (as Arctia), nor Hampson, who inserted it in the Ocnogyna, knew the $ of which we, therefore, 
do not know whether it is fully winged or not. 
0. jelskii Oberth. (38 h). Unicolorously blackish-grey, thinly scaled. Anal tuft with yellow hair, jelskii. 
Peru. Middle of August. 
14. Genus: laiora Wkr. 
Entirely of the character of the antarctic Arctiinae : long <§ antennae strongly feathered, and insignificant 
dull colours. Head and body densely haired, palpi long, haired brush-like, extended straight forward. On 
the forewing the 1st subcostal vein rises far before the cell-angle, the footstalk of the 2nd to 5th emerges with 
the upper radial from the upper cell-angle. 
L. antennata Wkr. (38 i). Dark red-brown, thorax and abdomen anteriorly mixed with yellow hair, antennatci. 
Hindwing greyish-brown, at the base tinged yellowish. Abdomen with dark bands, being, however, in the $ 
covered by the long woolly hair. Colombia, though at great altitudes, as for instance near Bogota, 3000 m. 
L. ubiana Drc. (38 i) is similar, but larger and more unicolorously reddish-brown. Panama. The ubiana. 
$ of this species is unknown to me. 
15. Genus: I*hrag;inatoMa Steph. 
For the genus itself comp. Vol. II, p. 79. In the restricted sense as considered here, it differs from 
the following genus, as well as the preceding genus, by the almost plain antennae. It contains only about half 
a dozen species in the paleartic and nearctic regions. 
Ph. fuliginosa L. Entirely typical specimens (Vol. II, t. 16 b) hardly occur in America. Examples 
from there, 6 of which are before me from my collection, are throughout darker and very thinly scaled. The
