reniform macula in and below the cell, behind which there is a black spot strewn with red-brown; a larger black 
and olive green preapical spot at the costal margin, the white undulate line below it. Hindwing brown with a 
yellowish base and distal margin. Panama. 
E. barnesi Schs. (145 a) has olive green forewings shaded darker, with undulate-dentate fine transverse 
lines which are accompanied by rusty brown bands, the distal band extending to the anal angle and partly 
dusted with white and bordered with dark brown, another dentate dark olive line follows behind the latter; 
darker vein-streaks are in the dark marginal shadow, the darkest between the veins 4 and 5; the brown marginal 
line is distallv bordered with white. Hindwing brown, distal margin narrowly yellow like the fringe, with a 
darker median line and a dark anal spot which is parted by white. Costa Rica. 
E. nox Sch. ( = tenebrosa Rothsch.) (145 a) is one of the largest species and quite different, with bluish- 
black forewings, feeble brown transverse lines and srftall costal-marginal spots, the reniform macula surrounded 
by light brown; velvety black spots partly centred with brown are behind the centre and at the distal margin. 
Hindwing brown, with yellow hair at the base and at the inner margin, the anal spot parted by light. The $ 
is browner, more contrasting, the reniform macula ochreous, with a postmedian row of white dots. Costa Rica. 
E. ligata Schs. was described as a Heterochroma (Noctuid), but it belongs to this genus here. Fore wing 
brown, mixed with a lighter colour and reddish-yellow, and shaded darker brown before and behind the cell- 
end, the veins strewn grey, with brown transverse lines which are bordered with a darker tint; reniform macula 
large, crescentiform, distally bordered with white, a whitish twice excurved undulate line before the margin; 
the marginal line is also white, bordered with brown on both sides. Hindwing brown, reddish-yellow at the 
base, distal margin and fringe. Costa Rica. 
E„ bocra Schs. (= indiscata Dogn.) has dark brown forewings with lighter transverse lines at the costal 
margin and distal margin, a broad blackish basal band and a dark brown shadow below the median vein; 
3 fine black postmedian transverse lines behind which there are 2 round black spots above and below vein 3; 
a light brown spot traversed bv black is at the cell-end, black internerval spots are before the margin. Hindwing 
blackish-brown with a black anal spot parted by white, and yellow fringe. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. French 
Guiana. 
E. f assli Dogn. has the broadest fore wings, reddish-yellow with 4 lighter, partly pale red transverse lines; 
the large reniform macula is incompletely surrounded with black and in a white ring, a black quadripartite 
spot is behind it, a double row of ivhite dots on black veins behind the postmedian line. Hindwing blackish 
with a narrow yellowish distal margin and fringe. Colombia, at altitudes of 2000 to 2200 m. 
E. viridis Schs. (145 a) is a very conspicuous light leek-green species with a white cell-end dot and 
extremely fine black undidate transverse lines. Hindwing brownish black, lighter at the costal margin. Brazil. 
30. Genus: Criuodes H.-Schdff. 
A number of rather large representatives numbering among the largest Notodontidae, with ciliated 
antennae, short, thickly scaled palpi and a small conical tuft on the frons. Mesothorax with a high tuft, abdomen 
at the end with a tuft of long spatulate hairs. The neuration differs from the preceding species only in veins 
3 and 4 of hind wing arising separately. 
Type of genus: C. bellatrix Stoll. 
C. bellatrix Stoll (145 b) is the most variegated species and unmistakable for its reddish-yellow forewings 
and the defined costal margin which is bent down to the end of the discal cell and terminates in a pointed 
guttiform spot. Guiana and Colombia. 
C. besckei Him. (= abscondens Drc., dissimilis Grt.) (145 b, d) is smaller, violettish-brown with a large 
crescentiform spot which is concave towards the inner margin and situate above the inner margin, dying away 
distally and bordered inside above by a yellowish line which terminates into another longitudinal line arising 
from the basal third of the costal margin and extending to the centre of the distal margin; a dark shadowy 
stripe above this line cuts the acute angle of a subterminal shadowy band before which 2 parallel lines extend. 
Hindwing yellowish ochreous with a broad brown marginal band. Mexico to Brazil. 
C. ritsemae Btlr. (145 b) is much larger than the preceding species and combines sooty blackish-brown 
colour with the scheme of markings of bellatrix, but the guttiform spot at the cell-end is transformed into a 
small dark brown discal streak bordered with light inside; the angled transverse shadows and lines of besckei 
are marked in the distal part, the subterminal line mostly shows yellowish-white vein-dots. Brazil, Colombia. 
C. schausi Rothsch. (145 c) differs from ritsemae in the more reddish chocolate forewings, a longer stigma 
Rothschild describes it to be not reniform, but numbers of specimens before me frequently also exhibit a
