F. marthesia Or. (= tesella Pack., turbida Wkr., elongata Grt. <b Rob.) (154 b) has exactly the exterior marthesia. 
of a Heterocam/pa, but no areole on the forewing; greyish-white with a dark blackish-grey basal third distally 
bordered by a notched double line; postmedian line double, irregularly dentate, followed by a light undulate 
line behind it, bordered inside by a darker shadow which is only distinct in the upper half of the wing and 
forms large blackish spots above the anal angle. Hindwing whitish-grey, darkened in the 2, the postmedian 
line distally light. The abdomen bears 6 dark dorsal tufts. Forewing occasionally with a somewhat greenish 
tint. Larva, resembling a larva of Cerura by its two long caudal points, grey with a yellow red-spotted dorsal 
stripe and yellow oblique lateral streaks on 3 segments each; the first segment exhibits a short red cone. 
It lives on oaks and beeches, and on being molested it sputters forth a fine jet of a liquid, like the larvae of 
Cerura do. Maine to Georgia and Texas; it is said to occur also in Mexico, Guiana, and Brazil. 
F. dorothea Dyar on the whole shows the same scheme of markings as marthesia, but the basal area dorothea. 
is not separated by a darker colour, but also the distal half is brownish-grey like the basal area; the double 
black transverse lines are distinctly and somewhat more regularly dentate than in marthesia; the light notched 
undulate line is shaded dark inside in its whole length, with 2 thick black small spots above the anal angle; a 
black double streak at the cell-end represents a narrow reniform macula; hindwing darker greyish-brown, lighter 
towards the base. California. 
F. amazonica Btlr. (154 b) may correspond with the Brazilian specimens identified as marthesia-, basal amazonica. 
third of forewing chocolate-brown, traversed by 3 undulate jet-black transverse lines, distally bordered by 
the double notched black antemedian line; the distal half of the wing is whitish, finely strewn with reddish- 
brown, a fine black streak at the cell-end; the postmedian line extends similarly as in marthesia, but it is some¬ 
what more oblique, the two double lines more separated, more regularly dentate; the light whitish undulate 
line is more deeply notched. Hindwing whitish, brownish at the margin. Amazons. 
111. Genus; Efotela Schs. 
Like the preceding genera and also without an areole on the forewing, separated by a high frontal tuft. 
Vein 6 of forewing arises from the upper cell-angle, separated from the stalk of the veins 7 10. Vein 3 of 
hindwing arises from the same base with vein 4, 6 on a short stalk with 7. Only 2 closely allied species. 
Type of genus; N. jaliscana Schs. 
N. jaliscana Schs. (154 b). Eorewing grey strewn with black, especially the veins are blackened, with jaliscana. 
brownish shading between the veins and at the indistinct transverse lines, only the posterior one being occasion¬ 
ally distinct and double, dentate; a black dot generally in the lower cell-angle, an oblique row of black streaks 
below the apex. — f. ramosa nov. (154 b) I denominate a common form with a black submedian ray which ramosa. 
begins at the base of the inner margin and extends obliquely upwards to the first third of vein 2, below which 
it is continued to the second third, ending obliquely upwards on vein 4 at the margin, a black anal spot 
below it. Hindwing whitish. Mexico. 
N. angustiora B. & McD. has longer narrow forewings of the same ash-grey colour strewn darker, angustiora. 
the double transverse lines more or less broken up into dots, especially the posterior line which is followed by 
a reddish-brown shadow; a black double streak in the cell, followed by a whitish brightening, an indistinct 
reniform macula at the cell-end, and black dots before the margin. Hindwing light smoky grey. Arizona. 
112. Genus: Euliarpyia Schs. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the antennae being pectinated only in the basal halves, with 
a long porrect hair-tuft at the base of the antenna; the middle joint of the porrect palpus is longer than 
in the preceding species. Neuration as in Notela. Only 1 species. 
Type of genus: E. comita Schs. 
E. comita Schs. (154 b). Forewing brown in the basal and distal thirds, more grey in the median area, comita. 
the anterior double transverse line removed far to the centre, the posterior double line filled with whitish, 
with vein-dots; small black dots above the anal angle and towards the costal margin before and behind the 
reddish- brown undulate line. Hindwing light brown, darker distally. Peru, Bolivia. 
113. Genus: Enuotela Schs. 
Like Euharpyia, but the palpi are erect, and the hair-tuft at the base of the antenna is absent. Vein 
3 of hindwing arises separated from 4.
