cyanomela. 
24. Genus: ftteiiogiiatha Fldr. 
Near to Hyalurga. The footstalk of the radials 2 to 5 with the 1st median branch from the same 
place or forked, separated from Scearctia by the non-projecting posterior angle of the cell of the forewing, 
$ antennae with long combs. 
S. gentilis Fldr. (65 f, g). Body brownish-oclireous, abdomen with 2 rows of white dorsal spots, in the 
3 beneath dingy white. 3 wings hyaline, apical half of forewing, costa and distal margin of hindwing dark 
brown. % of the costa and hind-margin of forewing and anal angle of hindwing red-brown. $ dark brown, 
two thirds of costa of forewdng and a spot between the cell and axillaris, as well as the base of the hincl- 
wing as far as the cell red-brown. Veins in the <$ and $ blackish-brown. Brazil. 
25 Genus: Graplielysia Rmps. 
A genuine Pericopina, since the anterior edge of the cell and the subcostal in the hindwing at the 
base are distinctly separated. In the forewing the 1st radial is separate, the 2nd to 5th forked, the 5th rising 
before the 2nd before the 3rd and 4th. The 1st radial with the 2nd cubitus on the same height. In the 
hindwing tire radial ramus and the 1st median, and the 3rd median and the 1st cubitus rise on a short foot¬ 
stalk. — The only species of the genus was described by its author as Elysius and was placed by Hampson 
who branched off the genus Graphelysia, to the group corresponding with our Phegopterinae. It has there¬ 
fore already been dealt with on p. 399 and is figured there. 
Gr. strigillata Rothsch. (49 h) exhibits the habitus of a Phegopterina. Body blackish-brown, collar, 
terminal tufts on the thorax and abdomen varying from yellowish-brown to red-brown. Wings varying 
from a lustrous-brown to black, forewing finely transversely irrorated with yellowish. Brazil. 
26. Genus: Syiitomiclopsfs gen.nov. 
S. (Eudule) variegata Wkr. (66 a). Black, costa of forewing as far as %, a broad transverse band, and some longi¬ 
tudinal stripes in and behind the cell red, the latter also in the hindwing. Apex with 3 or 4 white subapical spots, a similar 
one at the tornus, hindwing with white, small submarginal spots. Body black, abdomen with white rings, patagia, thoracal 
stripes, basal spots on the abdomen red, in the <$ the hindwings are reduced, only blackish. Veins similar to Hyalurga, radials 
2 to 5 far before the cell-angle, near to the 1st, in Hyalurga nearer to the 1st median. Jamaica. This species is also a 
genuine Pericopina; the generic name mentioned above is proposed for it. 
(27). Genus: Paratype Fldr. 
Perhaps a Geometrid genus. 
P. laeticolor Fldr. (66 a). Black, forewing in the basal half yellow, except at the hincl-margin, with 
4 black longitudinal rays, a yellow postdiscal band to the tornus; hindwing yellow, costa and distal margin 
broadly black. Expanse 47 mm. Colombia. 
The following genus remained unknown to me, probably no Pericopinae. 
(28). Genus: DnlaplBUC C. Berg ( = Daphne Neumogen) 
The hindwing is said to have ,,7 veins”, it may therefore be a Syntomid. The venation is not accura¬ 
tely mentioned; it also resembles certain Lithosia. 
D. cyanomela R eumogen. Head, prothorax, and abdomen of a glaring orange colour. Thorax and wings 
abound in a metallic blue. Costa and a broad marginal band black, the latter extending to the centre of the 
liind-margin. Expanse 46 mm. Cuba. 
I append here some more genera not belonging to the genuine Pericopinae, among which, however, they are mostly 
looked for. 
(29). Genus: CVocomela Ky. (Darna Wkr.). 
This genus does not belong to the Pericopis ; the subcostal of the hindwing rises from the cell; a basal 
noose at the base is not present, at most developed as a fold. The 3 shows scent-areas on the hindwing, 
which are absent in all the Pericopinae and by which the genus approximates the Lithosia. From the lat¬ 
ter, however, it is separated by exhibiting accessory eyes. For practical reasons we deal with it here. In the 
forewing the 2nd to 5th radials are forked, the 5th rising before the 2nd; in the hindwing the radial ramus 
and the 1st median are forked, all the other veins being separate; the posterior cell-angle is strongly pro¬ 
duced. All the species similar to Crocomela , not belonging hereto, exhibit a distinct basal noose at the rise 
of the subcosta of the hindwing.
