5. Genus: Aleytla gen.nov. 
Male : Antenna bipectinate to tip. Palpi ascending, reaching frons, smoothly scaled. Legs hairy; 
hind tibiae with terminal spurs. Forewing: costal margin nearly twice as long as inner margin, convex to¬ 
wards apex which is rounded, the outer margin inbent; cell short; vein 2 from beyond middle of cell; 3 and 
4 stalked; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6, 7, 8 stalked; 9 and 11 from cell; 10 stalked on 9. Hindwing: 
costa convex; outer margin slightly rounded; veins 2, 3, 4 stalked; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 and 7 
from upper angle; 8 upcurved from base of cell. 
Type: A. accipiter Dogn. 
A. accipiter Dogn. Male : Forewing with apex less acute and less inbent. Hindwing with ter- accipiter. 
men slightly rounded with anal angle hardly produced and not acute; cell of forewing short and incurved, 
of hindwing shorter at vein 7 than at median. Head and thorax light greyish vinaceous. Abdomen vinaceous 
brown. Wings mostly dark vinaceous brown with scattered black scales; hyaline lines on discocellulars. Fore¬ 
wing: apical third of wing vinaceous fawn; an antemedial outcurved black line; outer line remote, fine and 
indistinct, dark vinaceous brown, excurved from costa, angled below vein 8 with a projecting shade to apex, 
below vein 3 black, incurved below vein 2; base of cilia and termen narrowly, from middle of inner mar¬ 
gin, english red. Hindwing: a round zinc orange spot on inner margin near base, edged with black; cilia and 
termen narrowly as on forewing. Wings below paler; the line on forewing heavily marked below vein 2; a 
medial black irregular line on hindwing. Expanse: 30 mm. Lino, Panama. 
6. Genus: Clicii&inis Blanch. 
(= Perophora Harr., preocc., Saccophora Harr., preocc.) 
Male : Antenna bipectinate to tip. Palpi ascending, thickly scaled, smooth, third joint small. Forewing: 
apex produced, more or less acute; outer margin sinuous or almost straight, inbent; inner margin straight, 
vein 2 from middle of cell; 3 near lower angle; 4 from lower angle; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 from 
upper angle; 7 and 8 stalked; 9 and 11 from cell. Hindwing: costa somewhat convex; outer margin rounded; 
vein 2 from beyond middle of cell; 3 close to angle; 4 from lower angle; 5 from middle of discocellular; 
6 from upper angle; 7 from before angle. 
Type : C. orthane Blanch. 
Group 1. 
Species with hyaline B-shaped spot on forewing, and a hyaline spot on hind wing except packardi. 
The first three species: pacharcli, fogia and moiagus show variability, veins 6—8, or veins 7 and 8 
being stalked. 
C. packardi Grt. (87 c). Male : Body and wings to line tilleul buff, sometimes almost white, irrorated packardi. 
with black scales; avellaneous suffusions on front of collar and on abdomen; cilia tipped with white. Fore¬ 
wing: an almost medial curved and inbent avellaneous shade; a hyaline B-shaped spot at discocellular; outer 
line remote, excurved from costa and acutely angled between veins 7 and 8 near apex, fine, fuscous and in¬ 
bent to inner margin at two-thirds from base, followed by a sayal brown shade, the terminal space other¬ 
wise pale drab grey. Hindwing: the fuscous line medial followed by broader sayal brown shading, the termen 
as on forewing. Wings below more thickly irrorated with black; forewing suffused with pale tawny olive, the 
line faint, outcurved and sinuous; hindwing with a faint dark streak on discocellular, the line subterminal, 
outcurved between veins 4 and 2. Expanse: male, 38—43 mm; female, 49 mm. Cuba. 
C. fogia Schs. (87 c). Male : Head fawn color. Collar drab. Thorax whitish. Abdomen above cinnamon, fogia. 
underneath pale drab grey. Wings to outer line whitish or pale ecru drab with only a few scattered black 
scales; curved hyaline spots on discocellulars cut by vein 5, edged with brown and a few red scales. .Fore¬ 
wing: a faint darker antemedial line and a small dark medial spot on costa; outer line from a fuscous point 
on costa, curved and outbent across vein 8, angled subterminally then consisting of a double fuscous line 
filled in with pale drab grey and closely followed by a narrow dresden brown shade with a similar diverging 
shade from vein 4 to tornus; the outer part of double line extends to apex and a fuscous costal shade which 
reaches apex; subterminal flesh-ocher shade from above vein 5 to above vein 7. Hindwing: a brownish 
antemedial shade; the postmedial line double, fuscous, close to end of cell; outer area olivaceous drab, the 
termen narrowly pale drab grey, the cilia tipped with white. Forewing below largely suffused with drab, 
irrorated with dark scales and striae; a whitish oblique patch below middle of outer margin; a coral red shade 
at end of cell and base of veins 3 and 4; the subterminal mark above vein 5 coral red; the line faint, out- 
curved and sinuous. Hindwing below greyish white irrorated with black scales; the line more remote, irregular 
and broken; a buffy brown patch at anal angle; some reddish scaling at hyaline spot. Expanse: male, 46 mm;
