EUSTEMIDES; TECMESSA; PSOROCAMPA; PHYLLOPALPIA; HIPPIA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 939 
E. roseilinea Schs. is all white, the inner margin and distal margin of the forewing with a pink hue, and roseiUnea. 
a pink longitudinal line along the lower edge of the cell to the margin. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Bolivia. 
45. Genus: Eiistemides Dyar. 
Separated from the externally very similar preceding genus by a stronger vein 5 of the hindwing, 
the absence of the areole on the forewing and the 3 lowest subcostal branches being jointly stalked. Only 1 species: 
Type of genus: E. carama Drc. 
E. carama Drc. (146 i) is altogether very similar to E. darn. Body black, thorax and end of abdomen carama. 
set with long yellowish hairs. Wings light greyish-brown with darker veins and fringe. Peru. 
46. Genus: Tecmessa Burm. 
The E antenna is shortly pectinated at the base, the $ antenna serrate, the hairy palpi are short. The 
rather broad forewing with a straight costal margin and inner margin and a rounded distal margin exhibits the 
same neuration as Dasylophia, the areole is long and narrow. 
Type of genus: T. annulipes Berg. 
T. annulipes Berg (146 i) (= phyllis Drc., ceruata Dogn.) has a grey body, white head and black collar, annulipes. 
the black legs show white rings. Fore wing greyish-white with numerous black dentate transverse lines and 
speckled fringe. Hindwing purely white. South Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). 
T. elegans Schs. (147 a) is white, with a large black spot on the metathorax. Forewing dusted grey with elcgans. 
irregularly dentate double black transverse lines, and a black spot behind the distal line at the anal angle. The 
white hindwing shows a smoky grey marginal band and a black anal-angular spot. Brazil (Castro Parana). 
47. Genus: P^orocampa Schs. 
Almost exactly like Tecmessa, but two thirds of the J antenna are pectinated, serrate at the end, and 
veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing arise from the same place. Only 1 species: 
P. denticulata Schs. (147 a) has greyish-white forewings with two finely dentate transverse lines which denti- 
are bordered with reddish-yellow outside. The colour of the hindwings varies from a pure white to slaty grey. 
Brazil (Castro, Parana). 
48. Genus: Pliyllopalpia gen. nov. 
Distinguished from Psorocampa by vein 6 of the forewing arising below the upper cell-angle; the areole 
is very short, from its end vein 7 arises separated from the two next stalked veins; the basal two thirds of the 
S antennae are set with pectinations gradually decreasing in length, basally with 2 large scale-hair tufts; palpi 
rather long, porrect, distinguished by the long flat leaf-like scale-hairs of the middle joint, the terminal joint 
being also rather long. 
Type of genus: P. triangulum sp. n. 
P. triangulum sp. n. (147 a) has whitish forewings strewn with olive brown, most densely so in the upper trian- 
half of the marginal area; a small olive brown spot in the base of the costal margin is traversed by the broad gulum. 
notched whitish subbasal line, a short thick black oblique streak is below it, obliquely rising distally from the 
base of the inner margin to the submedian fold; behind the costal-marginal spot follows a very large triangular 
spot the distal point of which almost reaches the apex, the lower point resting on the submedian fold behind 
its centre; it is distally edged by a white line, strongly mixed with white in the costal-marginal part and 
traversed by oblique costal-marginal streaks; a yellowish-white longitudinal spot is in the distal cell-end and, 
behind it and connected with it, a horizontal crescent, both being edged with black below; two darker subterminal 
dentate lines bordered with whitish, an irregularly scalariformly notched fine blackish submarginal line. 
Hindwing brownish-grey, darkened towards the margin, with light fringe. Described according to several 
labelled: “South America.” Type in the Senckenberg Museum. 
49. Genus: Hipi>ia Mschlr. 
A larger genus of species which are partly difficult to separate. Antenna of tufteclly ciliated, of $ 
plain, the terminal joint of the palpus thin and long. The fore wing with a pointed apex and a broadly rounded
