PAMCOLOMA; KASERIA; BRECONTIA; GINALDIA. By Dr. M. Dbattdt. 
Type of genus: N. limnatis Schs. 
limnatis. N. limnatis Schs. (= medulla Dogn.) (155 c). Forewing grey strewn with brown, a whitish submedian 
spot near the base and a reddish-yellow apical spot; one black dot each in the centre and at the end of the 
cell; 3 brown antemedian transverse lines and two postmedian ones, a few small black spots at the inner mar¬ 
gin; behind the postmedian lines follow small brown internerval spots and then an interrupted black subter¬ 
minal line, small brown spots behind the latter. Hindwing greyish-brown. Colombia, Guiana. 
139. Genus: JPaincoloma Schs. 
Separated from the preceding genera by tuftedly ciliated, not pectinated antennae, hairy palpi and 
legs, the wings beneath being very hairy. Neuration slightly different, veins 6 and 7 of the hindwing arise 
from the same basis without a stalk and the costal vein arises before the centre of the cell. Two species 
have been described. 
Type of genus: P. marita Schs. 
marita. P. marita Schs. has light grey forewings strewn with brown, darkened at the margins, with double 
dark brown dentate transverse lines; a dark spot in the cell, one dark spot each behind the postmedian line 
near the costal margin and inner margin, a yellowish-white blotch before the costal margin; oblique dark mar¬ 
ginal streaks before the grey, black-speckled fringe. Hindwing dark violettish-brown, somewhat lighter basally. 
French Guiana. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. 
mus. P. mus Mschlr. (refervens Schs.) is allied to marita and differs in the margins of the wings not being 
darkened, a threefold antemedian line, double cell-end streaks instead of the absent cellular spot, a double 
median line at the costal and inner margins, and a complete subterminal row of black spots. Hindwing dark 
brown. The $ has a darkened median area and white dusting behind the postmedian line. French and Dutch 
Guiana. Expanse of wings: 37, $ 39 mm. 
140. Genus: Kaseria Schs. 
Separated from Pamcoloma by the antennae being pectinated in the basal two thirds and the costal 
vein arising only behind the centre of the cell. Only 1 species. 
Type of genus: K. pallida Schs. 
pallida. K. pallida Schs. (= gemonia Schs.) (155 c). Forewing silvery white scantily strewn with light brown 
and with fine brown transverse lines, the posterior one partly double, with a large spot, strewn with red-brown, 
before it in the costal half; small brownish submarginal spots. Hindwing light brown, scantily scaled. Guiana 
to Brazil. 
141. Genus: Brecontfa Dyar. 
Extremely similar to the two preceding genera, distinguished by the separate origins of veins 3 and 4 
on the hindwing, the costal vein arising from the centre of the cell; the areole is very long and narrow. The 
$ antennae are pectinated in the basal halves. Only 1 species was described hitherto. 
Type of genus: B. plagipennis Dyar. 
plagipennis. B. plagipennis Dyar. Forewing whitish clay-coloured with a large chocolate-brown spot from the base 
of the costal margin to the postmedian line, reaching in the middle to the inner-marginal vein and forming 
outside two rounded projections below and behind the cell, and besides this spot is traversed before the centre 
by a light notched transverse line; a large round black spot at the cell-end; in the subterminal centre follows 
a distally trilobate brown spot into which a marginal spot penetrates which ends narrowed towards the costal 
and inner margins. Hindwing brown, lighter basally. Peru, described according to a single $.

142. Genus: Gmaldia Schs. 
Likewise very similar to the preceding genera, separated by tuftedly ciliated antennae. Forewing with 
an oblique distal margin, the origin of vein 5 removed up to the upper cell-angle, 6 arises from the centre of 
the areole. Only 1 species. 
Type of genus: G. davidsoni Schs. 
davidsoni. G. davidsoni Schs. (= diminuta Dogn.). Forewing white, scantily strewn with black and brown, with 
double transverse lines, the anterior one very oblique, the posterior one broken up into vein-dots, with a black
