T. tenebra Schs. (39 i). Size and shape of permaculata , but the black spots of the forewings sometimes tenebra. 
flow together forming irregular clouds, particularly at the proximal margin, costal margin, and in the marginal 
third: tlie hindwing is blackish, except a lighter central diffuse patch. Mexico. 
T. neniophila H.-Schdff. (39 k) has olive forewings, marked creamy-white only at the costa and nemopJrila. 
in the marginal area, with blackish-brown costal triangles, curved transverse lines, and subterminal ellipses 
crossed by light veins. The $ hindwings yolk-coloured with black bands, those of the $ blackish, except the 
broad yellow distal margin, and clouded yellowish. Abdominal dorsum in the posterior half black. Central America, 
Venezuela. — pratincola form. nov. (39 k) differs by the forewings exhibiting much more creamy-white parts, pndincola. 
the hindwings being scarcely spotted. In the $ all the markings are of a more distinct and deeper tinge, the 
hindwings exhibiting bright yellow markings, the dorsum of the abdomen being black almost to the base. From 
the Rio Songo (Bolivia). — obscura Hmps. (39 k) has almost monotonous forewings, indistinct and less speckled obscura. 
markings, the hindwings being in the $ almost like the forewings. Peru and Ecuador. 
T. bricenoi Rothsch. , likewise from Venezuela, is paler and smaller than nemophila, all the dark bricenoi. 
markings smaller, the two curved central lines broadly interrupted. The hindwings are less spotted and extended 
at the anal angle. 
T. neurophylla Wkr. (= hebona Dogn.). Very closely allied to ockendeni Rothsch. (39 k), but smaller, neuropil yl- 
the forewings whiter, the olive-brown colour more diffusely distributed over the forewing, the subterminal, ^ f [ a • 
blackish-brown ovals thicker, the antemedian, angular line of which there are only remnants in ockendeni being 
distinct, thick and complete. In the <§ the hindwings exhibit instead of the thick cell-end spot only dispersed 
black traces; the abdominal dorsum showing in ockendeni only a lustrous blue spot, is black in neurophylla 
except the sides of the base and the anal tuft. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, ockendeni from Peru and Bolivia 
(Rio Songo). 
T. tessellata Drc. Head and thorax black, vertex, collar and margin of tegulae yellow. Abdomen tcssclhita. 
yellow, the middle segments with black tufts. Forewings yellow, traversed from the costal margin to the proxi¬ 
mal margin by 3 irregularly curved bands composed of large black spots; a black spot near the base. The veins 
almost white; fringes yellow. Hindwings pale yellow with a submarginal row of dark spots. 42 mm. Pern, 
taken at an altitude of 10 000 ft. 
T. sanguinea Hmps. Black, femora above red, abdomen with subdorsal carmine bands not reaching sanguinea. 
the base. Forewings black, an irregular, curved carmine band extends from the costa to the base and reaches 
vein 1; an almost triangular band extends from the middle of the costa to vein 1, being on the veins incised 
by black stripes. A small postcellular spot; a curved postmedian band, and dull, dark streaks at the costa 
as far as vein 1. Apical part of the costa and fringes light yellowish, tinted carmine. Hindwings carmine, at 
the base black. Small lunae at the cell-end and a marginal band being narrowed to a dot on vein 1 are black. 
28 mm. La Paz, Bolivia; 9000 ft. 
T. sanguinipectus sp. nov. (39 i) from Bogota strongly recalls the Spilosoma aeruginosa Fhlr. , but sanguini- 
it has a different shape of the wings, a much longer abdomen and purple chest; otherwise it is also quite apple- pectus. 
green with lighter hindwings, but at once discernible by the abdomen being above black, not green. 
T. thursbyi Rothsch. (39 1) which is not before us and which we, therefore, copy from the Novi- thursbyi. 
fates Zoologicae (Vol. 18, VI, fig. 24), originates from Patagonia; it is, however, presumably rather a southern 
representative of the genus Neoarctia, than a Turuptiana. The forewings are nut-brown, crossed by lighter 
bands, hindwings carmine with a black marginal band. Abdomen red with a black dorsal stripe. 
T. dissimilis Schs. (39 1). Thorax greyish-brown, head, collar, and shoulder-covers whitish; abdomen dissimilis. 
yolk-coloured, rings 4 to 6 blackish. Forewings yellowish-brown, at the margin darker, in front of it a light 
band; small ante- and postmedian black costal spots; from the middle of the forewing to the middle of the 
proximal margin a forked, black line. Hindwings yolk-coloured with small black clouds towards the anal angle. 
Larger than the preceding. Described according to 1 $ from Colombia. 
' 10. Genus : Euerythra Harr. 
Likewise without an active proboscis, but the palpi rather large, extended straight forward. The 2nd 
subcostal vein of the forewing emerges behind the cell-end and is petioled with the 3rd to 5th. Antennae of 
the $ doubly combed with rather long teeth. 2 white, rather small species, in which the abdomen is red above, 
from Texas and the neighbouring states. 
E. trimaculata Sm. (39 d). White, the abdomen above red, and beginnings of brown bands near irhnaculata. 
the base, before the apex and before the proximal angle of the forewing. Texas; the figured specimen from 
Colorado. Very rare.
