G. edwardsii Drc. is allied to the preceding species in the male, hut it has a somewhat less dentate edwardsii. 
and less prominent subterminal line; the $ almost resembles more girgamelle Stkr. by the subterminal line 
receding still more and the transverse lines showing a less oblique course, the anterior line being somewhat 
more removed towards the discal area. Mexico (Durango, Jalapa, Orizaba). 
G. venerabilis Edw. (76 a) is very similar to edwardsii, but it is lighter, the grey postmedian band is venerabilis. 
more regularly dentate and the submarginal line more coherent and uniform. Mexico (Jalapa). 
G. olivacea Edw. (76 a) looks quite different owing to its intense whitish hairing and strewing on olivacea. 
the coffee-brown ground; median band and marginal area of a purer and darker brown, the latter defined 
towards the postmedian area by a still darker spotted subterminal line which projects in a large bow towards 
the margin between the lower subcostal branches; the white discal spot may be very large, but it may also 
be very much reduced by the darkened bordering; in the subterminal area there is a more or less distinctly 
prominent darker median line. The <$ is apparently very much rarer and very scantily scaled in the disc, the 
hindwing exhibits a lighter postmedian area. Mexico (Orizaba, Jalapa, Misantla, Coatepec). 
G. howardi Dyar (78 a) is the smallest species, the somewhat similar to that of olivacea, but more howardi. 
yellowish-brown with a reddish tint, with quite indistinct markings; the $ is more similar to that of D. coronada. 
Arizona. — The larva lives on Quercus emoryi. 
G. sphingiformis B. & McD. (78 a) is very conspicuous by the narrow long forewing with a concave sphingifor- 
distal margin. The only known hitherto is chocolate-brown, its base and cell being darkest, in the disc semi- rnis - 
transparent with a white cellular spot and a strongly dentate subterminal line projecting far towards the base 
between the lower radial branches and being inwardly, in the upper half, more or less bordered with yellowish- 
white. Hindwing unicoloured chocolate-brown. — Texas (Kerrville). 
G. gargamelle Stkr. (— arizonensis Edw. nec Pack.) (78 b). The nomenclatural type is of a bright gargamelle. 
brown, but usually more blackish-brown, similarly marked as the preceding ones, with but slightly darker 
median and marginal areas, the $ in the disc extensively diaphanous, on the hindwing with a broad light, scan¬ 
tily scaled postmedian band. — If the marking is indistinct, it is the form: medusa Stkr. — Arizona, South medusa. 
California. 
G. concinna Dyar (76 b) resembles the $ of gargamelle, it is lighter or darker red-brown or also more concinna. 
greyish-brown, densely clothed with light yellow hair, with brown transverse lines, the posterior line outwardly 
with a fine lighter border, with a small white cellular spot adjacent to the proximal transverse line; the brown 
subterminal line is very indistinct. — In the form rubicundens Dyar the transverse lines are more distantly rubicun- 
separated. Only the $ is known. Mexico (Zacualpan). dens. 
G. obsoleta Dyar is very dark brown, with whitish hair and strewing, dark indistinct transverse lines, obsoleta. 
of which only the distal one is better visible, and with a feeble whitish discal spot. Ends of fringes on both 
wings white. Expanse of wings: 67 mm. Described from a 9 from Mexico (Hidalgo). 
G. sodom Dyar (78 b) has also dark brown forewings intensely white-haired, with 2 broad dark sodom. 
transverse bands, both separated afar, the distal one curved, between them a faded spot; the dark subterminal 
line is irregular, above the anal angle and between the radials inwardly indented; ends of fringes white. Mexico 
(Hidalgo). Only the is $ known. 
G. latipennis Dyar (78 b) is somewhat smaller than the preceding ones, chocolate-brown, strewn latipennis. 
with white, the median area in the upper three quarters without strewing and representing a dark band, enclosing 
a round white contrasting discal spot; the subterminal line is composed of a curved row of brown, small in¬ 
ternerval spots. Hindwing dark brown, ends of fringes yellowish-white. Mexico (Jalapa). 
2. Genus: JS’eoborocera gen.nov. 
Very closely allied to the genus Gloveria and chiefly distinguished by the quite different conspicuous 
shape of the wings, the abdomen projecting far beyond the hindwing, and a very deep concavity of the costal 
margin of the hindwing. Besides 7 and 8 rise together with 6 on a stalk. The only, very peculiar species was 
placed to the Ethiopian genus Borocera by its author, but it is better ranged separately. 
Type: N. esteban Dogn. 
N. esteban Dogn. (76 c). Forewing deep brown, in the subterminal area lighter, at the costal margin esteban. 
broad, at the hindmargin narrow, with a small light cellular spot. The peculiarly shaped hindwing exhibits 
a yellowish-white distal margin. Exuador.
