7fi2 HYLESIA; LONOMIA. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 
H. chirex Schs. (114 d). Front body lilac brown, abdomen with ochreous hair, with blackish-brown 
ling indentations. Wings pinkish lilac brown, the lines faded, the antemedian and postmedian lines broadly 
flown together at the inner margin, at the cross-vein a dark shadowy streak; subterminal line distally feebly 
bordered with a lighter colour. Hindwing with 2 almost straight median and postmedian shadowy lines. 
Guatemala. 
H. colimatifex Dyar (114 d) is similar to chirex , pink with a faint orange tint, the lines not contrasting, 
the posterior line straight, united with the discal spot; subterminal band distally bordered with a lighter pink. 
Hindwing with 2 straight dark bands. Body more orange pink. Mexico (Colima). 
H. rubrifrons Schs. (114 d) is more pinkish lilac, with fine darker veins, the exterior transverse line 
passes over into the broad subterminal shadow which is distally bordered with a lighter colour. Hindwing 
with a faint discal streak and feebly visible lines, the interior one somewhat angular. Frons and legs of a bright 
crimson colour. Costa Rica. muzoensis /. n. ( 114 e) is much more distinctly and contrastingly marked, the 
lilac pink median area broader, the broad distinct postmedian line separated from the somewhat lighter sub- 
terminal shadow by a narrow light lilac line, between 5 and 7 confluent with the very dark marginal spot; on 
the hindwing both lines are very distinct. Abdomen ochreous without blackish bands, with lilac pink dorsal 
hairs. Perhaps a distinct species. Muzo (Colombia); type: 1 d in the Coll. Hopp-Charlottenburg. 
H. multiplex Schs. Pinkish-brown, body densely covered with pinkish-brown hair; antennae brown, 
not yellow'. Apex of forewing scarcely falciform; pinkish-brown with darker lines; basal area darkened; exterior 
transverse line broad, touching the discal spot on vein 3, subterminal band feebly shaded darker, the apical 
marginal band darker. Hindwing with 2 fine curved lines and a narrow discal spot. Expanse of wings: 48 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
H. dalina Schs. (114 e) is somewhat smaller than rubrifrons, the legs likewise bright carmine, but not 
the frons. On the forewing the median area is very broad, the narrow discal streak isolated, the broad almost 
straight transverse line near the margin, widened at the costal margin, the subterminal band narrow, separated 
by a light interspace from the postmedian band, apex with a lighter spot. Hindwing lighter, with hardly any 
marking. Guatemala. 
H. dalifex Dogn. (114 e) is similar to dalina, the legs not pink, hindwing with a very slight angle on 3, 
forewing with an obtusely falcate apex; median area not so broad, postmedian line more oblique, the oblong 
discal spot larger. Hindwing with 2 distinct lines. Colombia. 
H. coinopus Dyar (114e). Purple brown or lilac pink, legs similarly coloured, not pink, abdomen 
ochreous brown. Both wings with round, faded though not indistinct discal spots, with a lighter, somewhat 
undulate distal band which is straighter in the 0, whilst on the hindwing it is faint in the d and altogether 
absent in the $; only traces of a whitish subterminal line. Mexico (Coatepec). Larva with a mahogany-brown 
head and a yellowish body which is densely spotted black, so that only undulate dorsal, subdorsal and straight 
lateral and subventral lines remain of the ground colour, set with light long thorns. The species resembles 
continue i , but it is larger, more pink, and w'ith more distinct white transverse lines. In the Coll. Hoff there is 
a A labelled: Texas. The statement that alincla occurs in Texas may refer to coinopus which is often confounded 
with alinda. 
H. continua Wkr. (11-4 e) is a smaller lilac grey species with a very faint reddish tint, a thick faded 
discal spot and hardly recognizable transverse lines; a discal spot is also on the hindwing, but no distinct 
lines. Mexico ? 
H. euphemia Dyar (114 e, f). Pinkish-brown, palpi and legs rosy red. Apex of forewing not falciform, 
marked as alinda, but more fadedly and indistinctly. Abdomen of d with ochreous hair and blackish bands, 
$ laterally and at the end with golden ochreous hair. Mexico (Misantla). 
H. cressida Dyar (114 f) is likewise very closely allied to alinda , but the 9 is black-haired on the sides 
and at the end of the abdomen. Somewhat smaller than alinda. forewing less falcate, the markings less 
distinct. This species and the preceding one are so very similar in the d that they are hardly separable, but 
the 92 are well discernible by the abdominal hair. Mexico. 
H. ebalus Or., according to the figure, is a small pink male which is not to be identified; perhaps the l 
of obsolete’ Stoll ? 
12. Genus: ILoagoiiiiii Wkr. 
We insert this genus here owing to certain resemblances in the structure of the body to Hylesia. 
Proboscis absent or only a feeble thread; palpi relatively well developed, ascending, but not projecting beyond 
the frons, with a very short last joint. Body slim, wings broad, in the d sometimes slightly falciform, very 
much like a Geometrid. Forewing with the same neuration as in Dirphia, on the hindwing the cross-vein is 
more oblique, the lower cell-end is produced, 3 and 4 near together; the origins of 5, (5 and 7 are likewise close
