H. rothschildi Dogn. Head and thorax olive, the former with a red spot in front, thorax posteriorly 
red-haired, abdomen rosy-red. Forewings pale olive strewn with some darker olive atoms, costa red; cell-end 
and the veins of the distal half partly red. 3 black transverse lines, an antemedian being angled on the median, 
a middle line being doubly angled, and a postmedian line. Hindwings whitish olive, costa, a part of the cell, 
apical region and margin rosy-red. Cali in Colombia, discovered by Fassl. 34 mm. 
H. mitica Schs. 30 mm. Black; forewings greyish-black, the hindwings with a dark blue reflection. 
On the forewing vein 7 and 8 are coalescent; otherwise the venation is said not to differ from that of the other 
Hypomolis. From Oaxaca (Mexico). 
H. lithosiaphila Dyar (39 1). 26 mm. Black, forewings with a blue reflection. A large orange spot 
at the base, reaching neither the costa nor the proximal margin, its distal edge oblique. Hindwings with an 
elliptic spot at the basal half of the costa. Underside similarly coloured. Discovered by Robert Muller near 
Tehuacan in Mexico. 
H. evippus Drc. (39 i). Quite light green, the forewings thinly scaled, diaphanous with a golden- 
yellow costa and similar fringes. Hindwings diaphanous greenish-white. Chest and forelegs golden-yellow, 
under surface of wings whitish. Bolivia. 
8. Genus : Cliloroda Hmps. 
In the structure similar to the preceding genera, but without the shaggy hairing of the body. Proboscis 
present, though small; antennae of half the length of the costa; the forewings more pointed, the hindwings 
of the $ of a bright salmon-colour. The forewings are of a conspicuous colouring. Only one, rather rare species 
was known; another one discovered by Fassl seems to belong to it. 
Ch. rufoviridis Wkr. ■(= thoracica Rothsch.) (39 i). The apple-green forewings have at the costal 
and proximal margins 2 distinctly black comma-like streaks each. Hindwings of the $ deep rosy-red, in the 
G lighter, yellowish or even hyaline light green; shoulder-covers margined pink. Colombia to Bolivia and Peru. 
Of a very variable size. 
Ch. rufolivacea spec. nov. (39 1) has the size and shape of the preceding; forewings olive with small 
black costal spots and 3 convergent lines from the middle of the wing to the middle of the proximal margin, 
the proximal one of which turns before the proximal margin towards the base; hindwings salmon-coloured, 
like the abdomen. Colombia. 
9. Genus: Vuniptiana. 
Proboscis present, though very small and thin; imago mostly white or yellow, of the shape of Enerythra, 
but with very short palpi. In the venation different from Enerythra by the 2nd subcostal vein branching off 
before the cell-end, not being petiolecl with the others, and running parallel to the 1st. Hampson adds to the 
mostly rather similar species the greatly deviating Chaetoloma dissimilis Schs. resembling in its exterior Aga- 
posoma marcescens; a IIeterocera not yet classified from Colombia, which Rothschild has provisionally placed 
to Antiotricha (s. p. 298), the venation of which, however, is not quite distinct in the only figure existing. 
T. obliqua Wkr. ( = ochrosterna Fldr., perfecta II. Edw.) (39 i). White with a yellow dorsum and 
abdomen in the $, the anterior part of which is above black. On the forewing, along the costa and proximal 
margin, one brown band each, both connected by a somewhat curved oblique stripe; thus a resemblance is 
effected to a Robinsonia grotei. Mexico, not rare; the figured specimen originates from Costa Rica. To the 
south the species goes as far as Colombia and Ecuador. — affinis Rothsch. from Venezuela and Peru seems to 
differ chiefly by the hindwing being tinged yellowish-grey at. the proximal margin, whereas in obliqua there 
is a large grey cloud at the anal angle. The distal margin of the forewing is in Mexico-specimens mostly entirely 
white, otherwise usually bordered with blackish. 
T. lacipea Drc. (39 1). Size of the preceding, but the $ sometimes larger. Similar to obliqua, white, 
inthe A the dark costal stripe of the forewing is absent, and the oblique stripe does not reach the costal margin; 
in the $ the forewing is all white. Central America (Guatemala). 
T. permaculata Pack. ( = caeca Streck.) (39 i). White, thorax and forewings covered all over with 
numerous thick black dots; abdomen above black, the hindwings with few dark spots before the margin and 
at the cell-end. The spots of the forewing form series which may sometimes flow together; sometimes, however, 
the black spots are also reduced (= ab. reducta Grt.). From Arizona to California. This species shows relations 
to andromela Dyar having been described as Ecpaniheria, and it has even also been described as Ecpantheria 
caeca by Hrrm. Strecker and compared with Ecf. scrdbonia.
