S. subfumata Schs. (137 f) is quite different. Head and thorax light brown with a blackish-brown dorsal subfumata. 
line on the prothorax and mesothorax; abdomen bright pinkish carmine above, brown beneath. Forew'ing 
light brown with fine blackish-brown transverse lines, the anterior one undulate-dentate with a short transverse 
line in the cell behind it, and a black dot at the cell-end; the posterior line is reversely undulate-dentate, 
extending from a little before the apex to the submedian and from there excurved to the second third of the 
inner margin; above the submedian both the lines are connected by a transverse line; a feeble curved median 
shadow extends between the two lines from the centre of the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin; 
a subterminal row of irregular brown spots. The inner-marginal portion of the light brown hindwing is 
somewhat darker, the subterminal spots are more distinct, an undulate postmedian line is before them. The 
costal margin of the long narrow hindwing is very convex. South-Eastern Brazil.

differs from all the other species in the notched distal margin, which is much less prominent in the $. Colouring 
variable, lighter or darker reddish yellowish-brown, more or less distinctly striated darker. Fore wing with 2 
dark transverse lines and a faint shadow at the cell-end; the marginal area behind the distal line is slightly 
darker, especially in the tinged with violettish-white below the angle on 4. Disc of hindwing pinkish carmine 
with a thick black central spot. Widely distributed from Mexico to Brazil. — The larva is stout, raised on the 
3rd and penultimate segments, green, with a yellow lateral line bordered with red above, and short yellow, 
red-tipped horns; it lives on species of Inga and Cassia. - petersii Pack, is a questionable form or perhaps petersii. 
species unknown to me; forewing reddish-brown with numerous dark striae, an oblique postmedian line 
bordered with light outside, with dark inside, and extending from the apex to the centre of the inner margin; 
disc of hindwing darker carmine, the abdomen is said to be carmine, too. Larva different from that of molina: 
with long dorsal horns on the 2nd and 3rd segments, conical dorsal tubercles on the 4th to 10th, also on the 1st 
segment, and with a broader anal plate with yellow tubercles. It lives on Mimosa. From Novo Friburgo. 
4. Genus: Xcorcarnegia gen. nov. 
/ 
Separated from Syssphinx by the peculiar habitus; <$ small with very pointed forewings with a concave 
distal margin, and a caudiformly prolonged anal angle of the hindwing, the $ very stout, both sexes with a 
great number of vitreous spots on both wings. Structurally also somewhat different; the head is still more 
hidden and quite flatly pressed on the chest. The cross-vein of the forewing is very oblique and angular, 
vein 5 removed down almost to the centre of the cross-vein, and 6 from the upper cell-angle, the cell much 
longer in both wings than in Syssphinx. Only 1 species: 
N. basirei Sch. (142 f). Unmistakable owing to the numerous vitreous spots on the light chocolate basirei. 
fore wing with a darkened median area. Hindwing more rust-brown at the margin; small yellow hair-tufts at 
the base of the antennae, above the eyes, and on the metathorax. Anterior thighs pink. Brazil. Nothing seems 
to be known about the development. 
5. Genus : Anisota Him. 
Extraordinarily similar to Syssphinx ; head somewhat better visible. Wings in general somewhat 
shorter, narrowly triangular. The antennae are pectinated as far as a little behind the middle and bear 
15 pairs of pinnae, 17—18 pairs in Syssphinx. The $ antennae are plain, filiform. Chiefly distributed in North 
America. 
A. stigma Fabr. is dark reddish ochreous on the body and wings, the disc of the wings not transparent, stigma. 
base and marginal area with a lilac tinge; anterior transverse line quite indistinct, posterior line dark, sometimes 
slightly sinuate, the large white discal spot round or triangular. Forewing and distal margin of hindwing striated 
darker. Larva brown, granulated white, with reddish subdorsal and lateral stripes, cerise head, and a long- 
thin horn on the 2nd segment. On oak and hazel. Widely distributed in the Atlantic States. 
A. senatoria Abb. & Sm. exhibits distinctly triangular hindwings in the B, distal margin not convex senatoria. 
with a slightly produced anal angle; smaller on the whole than stigma, the wings less striated; posterior transverse 
line very strong, broad and distinct also on the hindwing. The $ is lighter, the discal spot smaller. Larva with 
a black head, blackish-brown body with 8 dark ochreous longitudinal stripes which are slightly undulate; the 
horns are black. On oak, birch and Rubus, often destructive to oaks. Atlantic States. 
A. leucostygma Bscl. (142 f). Only the $ type (in Coll. Philipon) was hitherto known. Prof. Bouvier had leucostygma. 
the kindness to send me detailed statements and a sketch of the type. Accordingly, I consider for the present 
a bred couple from Mexico, which I owe to the kindness of Dampf and which is also reproduced in our figure, 
to be this species, although the $ is not quite the same as the type. The is rusty yellow on its body, with a 
somewhat more olive thorax, forewing olive brown, somewhat lighter and with a slight inclination to lilac at the
