TYTOCHA; TOLYTTA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
angustipen- T. angustipennis Schs. (81 e). The $ has remarkably long and narrow wings; body brown; fore wing 
nis - scantily scaled, strewn with blackish and white, with dark veins; base and inner margin dark brown with traces 
of lighter brown antemedian and postmedian lines, and with a black subterminal shadow. Hindwing dark 
brown, towards the margin shaded with black. French Guiana. 
guiliagon. T. guthagon Schs. (81 e). The $ is light brownish on the scantily scaled wings, with whitish transverse 
lines, the antemedian line almost vertical, below the cell somewhat bent, between both lines the median vein 
is blackish-brown and at the cell-end expanded into a small spot; behind the postmedian line at vein 7 a darkening, 
behind it a fine dark double line, its lower half nearing the postmedian line; subterminal line whitish flesh- 
coloured, undulately dentate; the white marginal line extends on the ends of the veins into the fringes, so 
that the distal margin appears to be somewhat dentate. French Guiana. 
fvmida. T. fumida Schs. (80 b) is smaller than guthagon, darker, more greyish-black, the dark bands very 
broad, so that the light ground only remains as a narrow line; instead of the discal spot there are 2 dots in 
the cell-angles. Body darker brownish-grey, in the anal tuft ochreous hair are intermixed. Petropolis, St. 
Catharina. 
abstersa. T. abstersa Fldr.. according to the figure, entirely resembles the To(i/pe-species from the simulans- 
group. Fore wing on the scantily scaled, light brownish ground with faded greyish-black transverse bands, 
the median band being the broadest, distally projecting twice, on 4 and 9, with a thick blackish faded discal 
perlonga. spot. Brazil. The type was neither to be found in Tring nor in Vienna. — - perlonga f.n. (80 g). As a precaution, 
I range the figured couple from the Berlin Museum as a form with abstersa, because of all the species before 
me this form is the most corresponding to Felder’s figure; it may even be abstersa itself, although the shape 
of the wings appears to me to be too elongate. Brazil; the exact habitat is not stated. 
maura. T. in aura sp. n. (80 g) is quite unicoloured sooty blackish, scantily scaled, without any marking 
except the cross-vein being more densely scaled in blackish; veins brownish, fringes somewhat darker, particularly 
on the hindwing with a bronze reflection. Body covered with very long shaggy sooty black hair. According to 
1 S from the Songo (Bolivia) in the Coll. Bang-Haas. 
noctilux. T. noctilux Wkr. (= argentata Schs., manoba Schs.) (80 g) differs greatly from all the others. 
Forewing silvery white, with fine black veins, with a greyish-black oblique band from the apex to the centre 
of the inner margin. Body and hindwing greyish-brown in the whilst in the $ the hindwing is white, only 
at the distal margin grey. Venezuela to Brazil. 
15. Genus: Tytoclia Schs. 
At once discernible from the preceding genera by only two veins of the forewing rising on a joint 
stalk from the upper cell-angle, 8 being absent, 9 and 10 rising on a long stalk close before 6 and 7 from 
the upper edge of the cell. On the hindwing the cell is relatively long. Only 2 species are known 
Type: T. lineata Dogn. 
lineata. T. lineata Dogn. (= temperata Schs.) (81 e) is on the forewing very light pinkish-yellow with darker 
transverse lines, 3 antemedian and 3 postmedian ones, between them a dark-shaded cross-vein streak; before 
the broader subterminal shadow there is another interrupted spotted line; at the margin cinnamon-reddish 
internerval streaks. The abdomen is coloured like the forewing and exhibits darker transverse bands. In the 
$ the ground-colour is more olive grey, only the darker transverse markings show a slight pink tint. Guatemala 
to Colombia. 
crassilinea. T. crassilinea Dogn. (81 e) is extremely similar to lineata, but the ground-colour ,is semi-transparent 
white, the transverse markings are brownish. Colombia, Amazons. 
16. Genus: Tolytia Schs. 
Likewise very closely allied to the preceding ones, but the antennae exhibit short pectinations as 
far as the tips; abdomen with broad dorsal tufts. Forewing broad, distal margin rounded. Recognisable by 
the veins 6 and 7 of the forewing rising together on a short stalk from the upper cell-angle, and 8 from the 
upper cell-angle, 9 being absent, 10 and 11 rising from the cell. On the hindwing 6 rises from 7 before the 
cell-end. Only 3 rather small species. 
Type: T. multilinea Schs. 
sanguilenta. T. saiiguilenta Dogn. (82 a) is white, on the forewing with 9 somewhat irregular, parallel transverse 
lines of a greyish-brown colour, with a rusty red irroration on single veins in the disc, being intensified on the 
transverse bands, as well as 2 dots in the cell-angles. Described from Peru.
