Btlr. The larva is larger than that of frauenfeldi, very similar to it, but the lateral line on the thoracal segments 
white, light blue above, blue, black and orange on the 4th segment, yellow posteriorly, turning pink beneath; 
the oval pink spots on the dorsum are absent. It lives on Maytenus chilensis and Aristotelia maqui. The pear- 
shaped cocoon is grey. Chile. 
2. Genus: JJTeocercopliana Izquierdo. 
Extremely similar to the preceding genus, separated by the antennal shaft being sharply carinated 
below and a longer last palpal joint. Only 1 species: 
N. philippii Jzquierdo (122 d). Dark brown above, duller in the strewn with greyish-white in the philippii. 
basal third, with 2 whitish antemeclian and postmedian transverse lines. The basal two thirds of the hindwing 
are red-brown. Larva unknown; the spindle-shaped cocoon is open on both sides, the apical thread freely 
suspended on a twig. It lives on Hydrangea scandens. Chile. 
3. Genus: Microdulia Jord. 
Characterized by the tailless wings in both sexes. Likewise only 1 species: 
M. mirabilis Rothsch. (122 d). The <$ is dark rust-brown above with a darker discal line and a white mirabilis. 
spot at the cell-end; hindwing orange with a dark marginal band, somewhat angular. The $ is lighter, more 
yellowish, the forewing besides with an antemedian line. Fringe speckled yellowish-white in both sexes. Chile. 
B. Janiodinae Jord. 
Separated from the preceding subordinate family by the strong proboscis. Only 1 genus the species 
of which are very similar to Eupterotidae, to which they are allied in a certain way. 
4. Genus: Janiodes Jord. 
A few brown or grey, often very variable species with broad wings, rather long palpi, the last joint of 
which is porrect. Proboscis strong. Antennal shaft carinated below, with long and loose pectinations. Hitherto 
only known from the Bolivian and Colombian Andes. 
Type: J. laverna Ere. 
J. laverna Ere. (= pulverosa Strd.) (122 e) is the largest and most variable species, reddish loamy laverna. 
yellowish above in all shades to blackish sepia-brown, strewn with greyish-white, chiefly on the veins, with 2 
small or very large black cell-end spots, 2 antemedian transverse lines and 2 postmedian ones which may be 
either notched or without notches, the subterminal line being the most notched. The $ is more orange reddish. 
In the form — nigropuncta Ere. ( = pauperata Strd., desquamata Strd., macromacula Strd., duplinota Strd. , nigro- 
contrasta Strd.) (122 e) the interior postmedian line is almost straight. Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia. puncta 
J. dognini Jord. Greyish sand-colour above, strewn with a bluish-white of a silvery lustre, with 2 dark dognini. 
dots in the cell-angles with double antemedian and postmedian transverse lines, the interior postmedian line 
incurved near the lower cell-angle, the exterior antemedian line in the cell. Only 1 is known, from Colombia 
(Mt. Tolima). 
J. ecuadorensis Eogn. (= monacharia Maass.) (122 cl). Dark brown, with a red-brown tint in the basal ecuadoren- 
and marginal areas, similarly marked as the preceding species, the interior antemedian line often bordered S!S 
with yellowish ochre, the postmedian double line filled with grey, often a reddish-yellow spot behind it above 
the anal angle. — flexuosa Eogn. is somewhat larger, with a broad yellowish subbasal band, a more undulated flexuosa. 
discal line and a yellowish loam-coloured marginal area. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. 
J. russea Eogn. is very similar to ecuadorensis, more rusty brown, especially the subbasal area rusty russea. 
yellowish, at once recognizable by the very broad and straight double lines; no cell-end dots; the undulate-dentate 
subterminal line is very fine. Colombia. 
J. virgata Jord. was founded upon but 1 $ without antennae and abdomen. Sandy brown above, virgata. 
strewn with whitish, recognizable by the very broad and straight double lines; no cell-end spots; the 
undulate-dentate subterminal line is very fine. Colombia. 
J. bethulia Ere. resembles ecuadorensis, some places are slightly tinted cinnamon-reddish, the antemedian bethulia. 
lines are less strongly curved, 3 brown dots in the cell-end, the postmedian line very straight, passing close at 
the lower cell-angle, the subterminal undulate line very distinct; basal and marginal areas often of a dingy 
yellowish ochreous colour. Peru.
