phryganea- 0. phryganeata Warr. (68 h). It is doubtful whether this species and the following venata belong 
ta - to this genus. Forewing dark olive-coloured. Veins finely whitish, a white pear-shaped spot on the analis, 
beyond the cross-vein a small white spot, bending inwardly towards the centre of the costa, a submarginal 
row of white internerval spots. Hindwing white, with a black distal margin which is broadest at the apex and 
narrows down towards the tornus. Costal margin narrowly black. Beneath the pear-shaped spot is roundish, 
which may also occur above in aberrative specimens. Expanse 36 to 42 mm. Peru. 
venata. 0. venata Btlr. Forewing blackish-brown, veins whitish, cross-vein broad white, three dentate, 
blackish-brown transverse lines, the first through the cell, the other beyond it, the most distal one bordered by 
a row of whitish, dentate submarginal spots; hindwing grey, at the apex more brown, with a blackish marginal 
line. Body smoky brown, abdomen grey; forewing beneath greyish-brown, costal margin whitish. Expanse 
23 to 30 mm. Brazil: Espiritu Santo. 
8. Genus: Clcptophsisfa Prt. 
In the veins similar to the preceding genus. The 1st cubitus separate or on a short fork. Palpi moderately 
long. 
C. scissa Warr. (68 i). Forewing olive-brown, with yellowish veins, a triangular yellow spot at the 
costa extends to the analis. Hindwing yellow, apex and hind-margin broad, distal margin between the 2nd 
cubitus and 3rd median narrowly black, the outermost hind-margin and fringes on it above narrowly, beneath 
broader yellow. On the forewing beneath the yellow spot, which tapers off posteriorly above, is almost uniformly 
broad yellow. Amazons. 
9. Genus: tiropsis gen. nov. 
Antennae of £ with ciliary tufts. In the forewing the 2nd radial rises with the 3rd to 5th from the same 
place or on a fork, the 3rd radial rising before the 5th, the 4th sometimes fused with the 5tlr, the 1st median 
very far remote from the radial fork, the cross-vein not angular at the 2nd median, the 3rd median and 1st 
cubitus forked. The cell is in both wings longer than half the wing, distally angular at the 2nd median; in the 
hindwing the radial ramus and 1st median, and the 3rd median and 1st cubitus are forked. In Xenomigia the 
$ antennae are combed, the 1st median of the forewing rises close at the radial ramus. Type of the genus: Sc. 
basilinea. 
1. Fifth radial present. 
basilinea. Sc. basilinea sp. n. (68 k). Forewing brown, veins hardly lighter; costal margin as far as the cell 
darkened by blackish, a yellowish wood-coloured line from the base on the analis to below the rise of the 2nd 
cubitus. Hindwing brownish black. Beneath all the wings are blackish-brown, a light spot behind the cross- 
vein, on the hindwing very indistinct. <$ type from the Rio Tanampaya (Bolivia) in the Berlin Museum. 
Witz;. Sc. seitzi sp. n. (68 k). 4th and 5th radial veins present in the forewing. Wings brown, forewing 
with a large milky-white trapezoid spot on the cross-vein, extending into the cell. type from Bolivia in 
the Coll. A. Seitz. 
2. F i f t h radial fuse cl. 
extensa. Sc. extensa sp. 7i. Like the preceding, somewhat larger, the basal streak of the forewing broader, 
almost reaching anteriorly to the cell. Hindwing greyer, rather diaphanous, except at the margin. Bolivia, 
d 1 type from S. Antonio in the Berlin Museum. 
nniformis. Sc. utliformis sp. 7i. Wings uni-coloured grey, somewhat diaphanous. Expanse 19 mm. Bolivia, 
type from S. Antonio in the Berlin Museum. 
elongata. Sc. elongata sp. n. Forewing very narrow, head rather hairy, wings diaphanous grey, forewing 
somewhat darker. Peru, 2 <$$ from Vilcanota in the Berlin Museum. 
10. Genus: \eiioiiii"ia Warr. 
Distinguished from all the preceding genera by the 3rd radial of the forewing rising before the 5th, 
the cell being normal, the 1st cubitus separate or forked, the wings densely scaled. The genus occurs in several 
species only in Colombia, one species also in Bolivia. 
veninotata. X. veninotata Warr. Forewing olive-ochreous, veins paler, markings blackish. Base of cubital branches 
and 3rd median thickly yellowish-white; a clouded black spot at the base of the costal margin, a short, bent, 
sometimes dentate stripe at 2 / 5 , a slanting spot in the centre of the cell, a similar one on the hind-margin at %, 
followed by a yellowish-white dot. A blackish dentate stripe extends from y 3 of the costal margin, below the 
centre inwardly bent, touching the pale bases of the cubital branches and terminating in a large clouded spot
