G. steinbachi Rothsch. (= speciosa Schs.) (153 f). Forewing red-brown, mixed with light grey and steinbachi. 
greenish in the inner-marginal area and at the distal margin, the two colours bordered by a jet-black, inwardly 
faded line which forms 3 pointed dents outside and reaches the distal margin below the apex on the lowest 
subcostal branch; a feeble blackish longitudinal shadow extends through the lower half of the cell to the black 
line; the transverse lines are marked by single black, distally whitish dots, two of which are also in the cell 
one above the other. Hindwing whitish with a smoky brown marginal line and inner-marginal hair. The 
^ is much larger, of a duller colouring and thinly scaled. Bolivia, Amazonas, South Brazil. 
101. Genus: Afilia Schs. 
d antennae pectinated, $ plain. Palpi very short. The long narrow forewing lacks the areole as in 
the following genera, for which reason vein 6 arises with 7 —10 on a joint stalk. The costal vein of the hindwing 
arises nearer at the base, vein 6 arises with the subcostal vein from the same basis without a stalk. Only 
2 species: 
Type of genus: A. cinerea Schs. 
A. cinerea Schs. (153 f) is an insignificant grey insect strewn with black, with fine indistinctly double cinerea. 
transverse lines which are mostly bordered with reddish-brown, and a distinct black lunar streak at the cell- 
end; small blackish undulate-linear spots are traceable, a fine black submarginal line is straight in the upper 
half, scalariformly interrupted below. Hindwing dingy white, greyish-brown in the $. The basal part is occasion¬ 
ally filled with brown. Mexico. 
A. oslari Dyar (= moqui Barnes) is very similar, but much more intensely marked black, the transverse oslari. 
lines slightly bordered with reddish-brown on the averted sides, a broad triangular darkening before the anterior 
one at the costal margin. Hindwing white, very feebly smoked at the apex and distal margin. Arizona. 
A. venadia Schs. Head and thorax brownish mixed with white, abdomen reddish cinnamon, more venadia. 
orange at the base. Forewing whitish scantily strewn darker at the base, costal margin and median area, the 
antemedian and marginal areas reddish-brown; the fine transverse lines are double, blackish-brown and 
brownish cinnamon; subterminal line dentate, interrupted on the veins. Hindwing white, dusted with reddish- 
brown. Expanse of wings: <£ 28, $ 30—39 mm. Venadio (Mexico). 
A. purulha Schs. Body like that of venadia , but forewing more monotonously grey, the subbasal and purulha. 
anterior transverse lines double, black, the antemedian line removed almost into the centre, connected with 
subbasal line by a black streak, the posterior line more brownish and more spotted. Hindwing purely white. 
Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Guatemala (Purulha). 
102. Genus : Scevesia Dyar. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by more strongly pectinated antennae of the d, longer erect 
densely hairy palpi with a straightly porrect terminal joint. Vein 5 of forewing removed up near to the upper 
cell-end, the stalk of 6 with 7- 10 very short. Hindwing as in Afilia except the vein 5 being nearly quite absent. 
Only 1 species: 
Type of genus: S. broidricci Dyar. 
S. broidricci Dyar. ForeAving monotonously dark grey with a white, black-edged luniform spot at the broidricci. 
cell-end. Fine black subterminal internerval dots and a few small irregular blackish spots in the basal half. 
Hindwing smoky grey. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. Mexico (State of Hidalgo). 
103. Genus: Ijobeza Herr.-Schdff. 
A well characterized genus of similar large species of a mostly whitish colour with strongly notched 
transverse lines. The $ antennae are shortly pectinated to the tips, the short hairy palpi erect, the strong 
abdomen tufted laterally. Vein 5 on the broad forewing arises from the centre of the cell, 6 from the upper 
cell-angle. The costal vein on the hindwing is connected with the centre of the cell by a short veinlet. Most 
of the numerous species are very difficult to separate. 
Type of genus: L. aglone Herr.-Schdff. 
L. aglone Herr.-Schdff . (153 g) is probably one of the largest species, the white forewing scantily and aglone. 
coarsely strewn with black, the double strongly notched transverse lines bordered somewhat rusty brown on 
the averted sides. Hindwing wiiite. Brazil. 
L. lateralis Wlcr. resembles aglone, but it is much smaller, the forewing more densely strewn, the lateralis. 
transverse lines more distinct, deeply notched, strewn with yellowish on the averted sides; at the cell-end
