margin, which is absent in albosigma ; all the transverse lines are much finer black, mostly interrupted in the 
centre of the wing, the large black spots in the subterminal area are altogether absent, the white dots below 
and above the cell-end streak and at the apex are extremely small; a regular row of fine black sub marginal dots, 
irregular in albosigma and with larger spots; both species exhibit a small lighter rusty brown spot behind the 
cell-end. Numbers of both sexes from Mexico (Misantla, Tabasco). Type in the Coll. Draudt. 
T. lignea Sc-hs. (= angustipennis Schs.) (145 g). Forewing grey mixed with moss-green, with a dark lignea. 
brown nebulous stripe from the cell to the apex, often also another one along the inner margin, with double 
black transverse lines, another one behind the distal transverse line, so that 4 are together there, but the latter 
often interrupted in its centre; a black streak at the cell-end with a white dot below it; 3 large steel-grey spots 
before the margin, followed by a row of black marginal dots, a white dot at the apex. Easily separable from all 
the other species by dingy white hind wings with a brownish-grey marginal band. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. 
French Guiana. 
T. nigella Dogn. Forewing greyish-brown, irregularly strewn and striated darker and scantily strewn nigella. 
white, with a white submedian dot at the base, a red-brown spot bordered with white below the median vein 
at the origin of vein 2, and with two large black oblong spots, the first at the cell-end, the second subterminal 
at the same height; black internerval angular streaks edged with white inside are before the margin. Hindwing 
blackish. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Guiana. 
T. sagittula Dogn. Forewing blackish mixed with red-brown, with an ochreous tinge in the cell and sagittula. 
behind it, blackish submedianly as far as the cell, a black streak in the distal half of the cell, with 4 or 5 red- 
brown, parallel, interrupted postmedian transverse lines. Hindwing light brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 
37—44 mm. Colombia (Tolima, Quindiu). 
T. stellata Dogn. (145 g) with especially long and narrow forewings of a red-brown colour, greenish or slellata. 
bluish white at the base of the costal margin, around the lower cell-angle and in the centre of the inner margin, 
with black veins thickly dotted white; 3 large white dots at the cell-end, two subcostal ones, and one at the 
lower cell-end; 3 large round black spots in the subterminal area, followed by a row of fine black internerval 
dots bordered above inside with white. Hindwing whitish, brownish on the veins and margin. Guiana to Brazil. 
34. Genus: Coutrefoia Wkr. 
Distinguished from the allied preceding genus by the porrect palpi with a longer terminal joint. Forewing 
just as long and narrow, but apex pointed, almost falciform. Both the cellular branches of the hindwing are 
stalked. Only one species: 
Type of genus: C. extrema Wkr. 
C. extrema Wkr. has light reddish-brown forewings, lighter yellowish-white in the costal-marginal area, extrema. 
shaded with dark brown at the inner margin; both the almost straight transverse lines are distinct only near 
the inner margin, the posterior line extends obliquely to the apex; the median line is striped black and is continu¬ 
ed along vein 4 to the margin, bat it is interrupted at the cell-end by a large white reniform macula; no 
undulate line. Hindwing scantily scaled, brownish-grey, with a black spot parted by white at the anal angle. 
Brazil. 
35. Genus: Eimiaschaue Schs. 
<$ antennae pectinated to the tips, the second joint of the palpus is very long and expanded at the end, 
the last joint short. Forewing with a straight costal margin, a falciformly pointed apex, a slight indentation 
below the apex and a large lobate projection at the inner angle; areole long; vein 3 of hindwing separated from 4. 
Only one species: 
E. lama Schs. (145 g) is a small pretty lilac grey species with a silky gloss, a white-edged oval around laura. 
the distal half of the cell, with a whitish angled line before it, another one below it as far as the sub median vein 
and a curved cell-end streak, as well as a similar posterior transverse line which is bent around the cell and 
extends undulated to the sub median vein; some black striae at the margin. Hindwing reddish-yellow, brown 
at the margin. French Guiana. 
36. Genus : Hyparpax Hbn. 
Allied to the preceding genus and chiefly distinguished by the very broad wings with a rectangular apex 
and a convex distal margin. <$ antennae most strongly pectinated, the slender long palpi porrect. Neuration
