EPISCEA. By Dr. M. Hering. 
erectistria. C, erectistria Warr. (= elisa Drc.). Wings black, forewing with a yellow longitudinal streak (about 
2 mm broad) pointing towards the apex and being more (<J) or less (9) narrowed, ending before the margin in tire 
distance of its greatest width, the last end being very feebly bent upward like a hook, or in the <$ even being 
deposited in a dot. Hindwing yellow with black margins, which are broadest at the posterior margin of 
the 3rd median branch. <$ beneath with black scales on the anterior angle of the cell, $ beneath with a 
yellow stripe on the basal costa. Ecuador. 
fusifera. C. fusifera Wkr. is not determinable from the author’s short description; wings pale yellow, rather 
long, moderately broad, with black margins which are much broader on the forewing than on the hindwing. 
Length of wings about 32 mm. Colombia, Bogota. 
luxuriosa. C. luxuriosa sp. n. resembles erectistria Warr., the yellow colouring is more extensive, on both wings 
only ending 1 mm before the margin, so that the yellow colouring is at the 2nd median branch much farther 
extended towards the margin. In the $ the area between the subcostal and the cell of the hindwing is 
dusted with blackish. Colombia. $ type from the Rio Dagua in the Berlin Museum. 
tenuifascia. C. tenuifascia sp. n. In the distal extent of the yellow colouring between luxuriosa and erectistria, 
the yellow areas narrower, that of the forewing in the maximum 1 x /> mm broad, paler yellow. Beneath the 
costa of the hindwing is brown at the base. Ecuador. $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
latimargo. C. latimargo Dgn. (65 i). Wings black, forewing with a very broad yellow longitudinal spot from the 
base, anteriorly extending to the centre of the cell, posteriorly beyond the axillaris, cutting the latter about in 
the centre and being at the end (about in the area of the transverse vein) broadly truncate and somewhat 
emarginated. Hindwing similar to that of erectistria, but the black anal-marginal border is somewhat narrower. 
Colombia. 
acuminata. C. acuminata sp. n. (65 h) is similar to latimargo , the yellow central spot of the forewing, however, 
almost extends to the centre of the 3rd median branch, it is pointed. Hindwing entirely as in erectistria. Co¬ 
lombia. $ type in the Berlin Museum. (This form is perhaps the of fusifera Wkr.). 
albolineata. C. albolineata Drc. Described as Josiomorpha , unknown to me, but probably belonging hereto. In 
the scheme of markings similar to erectistria and its allies, but all the yellow markings are here white. 
Colombia. 
pluricincta. C. pturicincta Dgn. is extremely similar to Antiotricha Integra Wkr. (38 f), but on all the wings the 
costal margin is broader black, fully one millimeter broad on the forewing (in Integra aboiit half a mm). Wings 
otherwise orange, all being margined with black. Colombia. The species was not at hand. 
cecata. C. cecata Dgn. ( 9 ). Wings orange, margined with black (except the costa and anal margin of the 
hindwing), also similar to Integra, but the forewing with a black transverse line in the centre. Ecuador. 
The species was not at hand, perhaps it does not belong hereto. 
furonia. C. furonia Drc. (A). In the size (expanse of wings 35'to 40 mm) corresponding with cecata, but it has 
3 white dots on the collar, and the costal margin of the hindwing is said to be black; otherwise similar to 
cecata, perhaps the $ of it. It was not at hand. Ecuador. 
Note: Duma tripunctata Dr. is a Micrarctia, allied to Heliactinidia. Darna formosa Dogn. is a Greometrid; the 
same is probably the case with Darna splendens Drc. which is unknown to me (habitus of Gr. Colorata, hindwing at the 
costa near the apex with a yellow spot), and with Darna grandis Drc. (similar to spl ndens, hindwing with a yellow costal 
streak almost to the apex and a yellow streak from the base to the apex and a yellow streak from the base to the centre 
of the wing). 
30. Gattimg-: Kpiscea, Warr. 
This genus also contains no genuine Pericopinae; but as it is frequently reckoned to it, it may be 
mentioned here. Separated from Crocomela by the absent sexual differences, otherwise rather similar to it in 
the veins, but in the examined specimen Ep. sancta the 2nd radial in the forewing arises from the same 
place with the 5th. Antennae in both sexes strongly pectinate. Accessory eyes present. 
sanda. E. sancta Warr. (65 i) strikingly resembles the Dioptid Scea auriflamma Hbn., but in the forewing the 
proximal bordering of the apical black colouring runs straight, the latter being therefore more extensive. The 
anal margin is narrower black, so that there is yet some ground-colouring between it and the axillaris. The 
analis is broader black, particularly towards the base, than in auriflamma. The dark apical parts and the hind¬ 
wing is chocolate brown, in the forewing the veins are lighter; beneath in the forewing a broad black stripe from 
the base along the proximal margin. Sa. Catharina. 
extravagans. E. extravagans Warr. (65 i) resembles still more the said Dioptid, the markings as in auriflamma al¬ 
most black. Otherwise separated from Scea by the straightly cut off apical part of the forewing; beneath the 
basal part of the hind-margjm of the forewing is not black. Rio de Janeiro.
