C. armata Rothsch. (135 c) is separated from the other species by a long apical thorn on the anterior 
tibiae in both sexes. Forewing creamy, the chestnut-red veins finely striped black on both sides, the antemedian 
area, 4 small spots at the cell-end and a narrow subterminal row of sagittate spots are red-brown. Hindwing 
creamy with a red cellular spot, subterminal line and behind it with red, black-edged vein-streaks. Minas 
Geraes; Paraguay. 
C. vogleri Weyenberg (= leona Drc.) (131 d) differs much from all the other species in the black forewing 
with numerous small creamy white spots. Hindwing with a red cellular spot. Paraguay; Uruguay; Argentina. 
C. principalis Wkr. (132 b) introduces an entirely different group; forewing reddish orange, strewn 
with brownish-grey, costal margin and marginal area with a light violet reflection, with 2 blackish-brown 
transverse lines, before the exterior one with 3, sometimes 4 hyaline spots which, however, may also disappear 
altogether: afenestrata /. n. ; type in the Berlin Museum. There are also specimens with a deep dark purple 
brown ground -colour dusted with light violet: — purpurea /. n .; type from Sa. Catharina in the Berlin Museum. 
Larva dark green, strewn with white, warming into pinkish lilac on the dorsum of the 4th to 11th rings, from 
the 4th ring on both sides with large oblique lines edged with black above and extending across 2 rings each 
from in front above to behind below, with red branched thorns. 
C. fenestrata Rothsch. (132 b) is similar, smaller, much darker, the subterminal arches therefore more 
prominently yellow; easily separable by a large white vitreous spot on the hindwing. Brazil. 
C. sepuichralis G. & R. (135 c) is a branch developed from the mexicana- type; almost uniformly 
chocolate-brown with fine dark veins and dark cell-end spots bordered with light just like a subterminal row 
of dark spots, the latter especially so towards the base in the $; a pinkish-red spot at the base of the forewing, 
a similar hue on the base of the hindwing. In the Atlantic States from Carolina to Massachusetts. Larva mostly 
from yellowish to purple brown with long yellow horns on the 2nd, 3rd and 11th rings and subdorsal, sublateral 
and substigmatal rows of thorns. It lives on Pitchpine: Pinus nigra and mitis. 
2. Genus: Eacles Hbn. 
Separated from the preceding genus by considerably broader wings with a less oblique distal margin, 
especially in the and correspondingly shorter abdomen. The lower portion of the cross-vein on the fore wing 
is stronger, the origin of vein 5 removed somewhat deeper and, therefore, 6 arising nearer to the cell. Hindwing 
likewise broader, the cell considerably longer and the origins of 5—7 more separated from each other. Larvae, 
as far as they are described, similar to those of Citheronia, but much thicker and shorter with shorter fleshy 
cones and more scantily covered with longer hair. 
"Type: imperialis Dru. 
E. penelope Or. (= cybele Oliv., ducalis Wkr.) (133 b). Orange, more or less densely speckled brown, 
dusted with red-brown in the disc, with two brown transverse lines bordered with lilac white on the averted 
sides, the interior line notched, the exterior line flatly unclulate-dentate in its upper half; in the lower cell-angle 
a white ring centrally hyaline and bordered with brown, a smaller one above it, which may also be absent; 
distal margin excepting a subapical and anal triangle grey dusted with white; hindwing mostly purer yellow 
in the basal area, with the same ring-spot at the cell-end and red-brown dusting behind the exterior straight, 
undulate-dentate transverse line. Brazil. Columbiana /. n. is smaller, lighter yellow, the red-brown discal 
colouring is paler, but more extensive, the exterior tansverse line quite straight, removed nearer to the discal 
spot on the hindwing. West Colombia. Type in the Coll. Niepelt. Larva light green with a carmine dorsal 
line bordered with white, carmine thorns and fleshy cones, the spiracles surrounded with white and black. 
E. majestalis sp. n. (133 b) is much larger than penelope with somewhat narrower and longer wings, of 
a much brighter yellowish-red, in the basal area with a white round spot in a violettish-grey ring, just as large 
as the discal spots the centre of which is much more extensively hyaline; exterior transverse line violettish- 
black, inwards slightly convex and ending at the inner margin farther basad; here follows the transverse line of 
the hindwing in a straight direction, whereas in penelope it ends much nearer at the anterior angle at a great 
distance from that of the forewing. The grey marginal band of the forewing is much broader, particularly in 
the upper parts more intensely dusted with white; fringe at the ends of the veins only feebly traversed by light, 
broadly speckled in penelope. On the hinclwing the transverse line is close at the discal spot. West Colombia; 
it cannot be a form of penelope , because it occurs together with its form Columbiana. Type in the Coll. Niepelt. 
E. barnesi Schs. is likewise closely allied with penelope from which it differs in 2 violettish-red discal 
spots with tiny white centres, and in the less straight, interrupted violettish-red transverse band of the hindwing, 
touching the discal spot which is coloured as on the fore wing, behind it with a violettish-red marginal shadow 
between the veins. Beneath yellow, scarcely speckled black. Abdomen above violettish-red. At the base of 
the forewing 2 yellow spots, in penelope a small whitish spot. British and French Guiana.
