scarcely different from that of the preceding genus. A few pretty North-American species mostly coloured 
pink are known. 
Type of genus: II. aurora Abb. <£• Sm. 
aurora. H. aurora Abb. & Sm. (= rosea Wkr., venusta Wkr.) (145 cl) has ochreous forewings dusted with pink 
in the basal and terminal areas, the yellow median area edged by two darker pink lines. Hindwing white with 
a pink marginal line. Distributed in the Atlantic States. — Larva somewhat like that of a Cerura owing to the 
green colour with a brown saddle-spot, a raised 4th segment and an upright end of the body, though with but 
one point; it lives on various species of oak and pupates in a thin case in the earth. 
venus. H. versus Neum. (145 g) is quite pink, only the head is yellowish, the forewing with whitish anteniedian 
and postmedian transverse lines. Hindwing white with a pink marginal line, abdomen yellowish with a pink 
anal tuft. This typical form seems to be known hitherto only from Colorado and is scarcely variable, whereas 
minor, the much smaller form — minor B. & Benj. is of a much greater variability, the ground-colour being somewhat 
less pink, the two transverse lines much nearer together. Described from Texas (Kerrville). 
pero- H. perophoroides Stkr. (= tyria Sloss.) resembles aurora, the forewing is yellowish red-brown, more or 
phoroides. } ess dusted with reel, with 2 fine claret-coloured transverse lines and a third oblique line between them. Hindwing 
white, suffused with claret-colour in the distal quarter. The live insects are said to exhibit a bluish-green gloss 
on the thorax and the base of the forewing, which disappears immediately in the dead insect. Florida and 
auro- Texas. — f. aurostriata Graef shows broad golden yellow longitudinal stripes in the cellular areas of the forewings. 
striata. 
aonides. H. aonides Stkr. likewise resembles aurora, but the forewing is still much more brownish, though with a 
somewhat olive tint, the pink colour being only traceable on the fringe; transverse lines red-brown, broad and 
faded, a small paler reniform macula at the cell-end; the median area between the two transverse stripes is not 
more yellow than the other ground. Hindwing dingy white. Described from Texas. 
37. Genus: fia Ikom a Schs. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the shorter pectinated antennae and the longer shape of the 
wings with a rounded apex and distal margin. The areole of the forewing is long and narrow, vein 3 of forewing 
arises together with 4 from the same base, in distinction from Hyparpax. 
Type of genus: K. alba Drc. 
alba. K. alba Drc. (145 g) has white forewings densely strewn with black, with an undulate dentate black 
posterior transverse line and a more intensely notched black submarginal line. Hindwing white, with yellowish 
hair at the base and inner margin. Panama. 
pylaon. K. pylaon Drc. (146 a). Forewing olive grey, white at the costal margin with small black spots from 
which darker olive green transverse lines proceed; two black spots parted by white are at the anal angle, a 
series of black dots before the margin. Hindwing brownish yellow. Honduras. 
cyne- K. cynedryda Schs. (146 a) is similar to pylaon in the marking, but the ground -colour is light cinnamon- 
dryda. brown, dusted with whitish at the base, the costal spots and the transverse lines proceeding from them are 
chestnut brown, the anterior ones more broken up into spots; the double postmedian line is very strong inside, 
very fine outside, chestnut brown internerval spots behind the latter; undulate line dusted with whitish. 
Hindwing light yellowish reddish-brown. French Guiana. 
zapata. K. zapata Schs. is a small species dissimilar to the others, with grey forewings, white at the base, defined 
by a double black basal line; the area from here to the double black anteniedian line is dusted with pink; the 
cell-end is lighter grey, a pink shadow parted by dark is at its end; a broad blackish-brown costal-marginal 
shadow is behind the fine black postmedian line, the black undulate line is irregular, bordered with white inside. 
Hind wing white with a dark central luna and a transverse line behind it, as well as a broad apical shadow. 
Mexico (Sinaloa). 
38. Genus: Emlmoe Hbn. 
This is probably the strangest Notodontid genus and may be ranged as Noctua in some collections. 
The typical representative is a rather large, slender insect with long palpi projecting far beyond the 
tufted vertical hair, with a densely haired middle joint and an almost just as long thin terminal joint; 
tegulae with long projecting hair. The rather long forewing is very slightly exeurved below the apex, the 
two branches proceeding from the lower cell-angle arise separately, vein 5 comes out a little above the centre
