A. licormas Cr. (= bombycoid.es Wkr.) (158 c) is marked in almost the same way, but the ground- 
colour is a lighter violettish grey, strewn somewhat darker brownish in the lower half of the marginal area; 
transverse lines finer, the macula before the cell-end is not confluent with the 4th transverse line, subtermin- 
ally there are small blackish shadowy spots, and the submarginal line has 3 scalariform interruptions partly 
of an orange colour. Hindwing lighter brownish-grey. Mexico, Panama. 
H. omana Schs. (— pseudosmerinthus Rothsch.) (158 c) is very similar to licormas and may be only a 
larger southern form of it; the ground-colour is quite similar, the best mark of distinction is the postmedian 
line which is not straight but curved, the reniform macula at the cell-end is open below and its distal arm is 
strewn with orange, and so are the 3 scalariform interruptions of the submarginal line; the distal margin is 
more notched, the hindwing shows a darker greyish-brown colour. Expanse of wings: 71 mm. Colombia, Brazil. 
152. Genus: l*seii<lfiiitp!gia Schs. 
Easily separable from the preceding species by the antennae of the being pectinated to the tips; 
last palpal joint very short. Distal margin of forewing rounded, inner margin cut out with a dentiform pro¬ 
jection near the anal angle; as in Hapigia, the uppermost radial branch is stalked with the 4 lowest subcostal 
branches. Hindwing: the upper median branch and the lowest radial branch are somewhat separated at their 
origins, the rest of the neuration as in Antaea. 3 species are known. 
Type of genus: P. brunnea Schs. 
P. brunnea Schs. ( = estrella Barnes ) (158 c). Forewing light red-brown, monotone, with fine blackish 
transverse lines, the anterior ones undulating, the posterior one slightly bent, forming an angle submedianly 
and extending into the anal angle behind the dent; a roundish silvery spot in the cell, behind it at the end 
there is a larger lobate silvery spot; 2 small narrow silvery spots are at the apex before the irregular subterminal 
line, the apex behind them being blackened. Hindwing light brownish-grey. Arizona, Mexico. — coliniae f.n. 
(158 d) is much darker, profusely dusted with purple and shaded with blackish, the latter especially behind 
and below the cell, where it is spotted orange basally; the postmedian line is broadly bordered with light vio- 
lettish-grey inside, the silvery spots are centred red-brown. Colima. 
P. kurunensis iJogn. has chestnut-brown forewings, with very fine and rather indistinct violet dentate 
antemedian and postmedian transverse lines, accompanied by fine black and white vein-dots; a black dot in the 
cell and, above it, a subcostal row of dots; the subterminal internerval dots are bordered with white apically. 
Hindwing light brown. French Guiana. 
P. misericordia Dyar (158 d). Forewing dark brown, strewn black, some places, especially near the 
undulate line, are somewhat lighter; anterior transverse line indistinct, the posterior one straight, slightly bent 
only on the inner-marginal vein; undulate line indistinct, dentate, more distinctly prominent in the centre 
as a dark double line, 2 subapical bows bordered with white; two small silvery spots centred with red-brown 
are in the cell, or also without silver. Hiudwing dark brown. Mexico. 
153. Genus: Mapi g'iotles Dyar. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus, chiefly separated by the antennae of the <$ being pectinated 
only on two thirds; besides, the origins of the upper median branch and of the lowest radial branch are more 
separated; discernible from the very similarly structured genus Colax by the inner-marginal dent. 
Type of genus: H. xolotl Schs. 
H. xolotl Schs. (158 d). Forewing dull brownish-grey, the interior undulate line very indistinct, the 
exterior one straight, its lower third bent towards the anal angle, brown, bordered with reddish-yellow inside, 
the submarginal line irregularly angled, subapically bordered with silver; the cell-end with the usual 2 silvery 
spots with a golden gloss, the larger lower one marked red-brown inside. Hindwing brownish-grey, yellowish- 
white basally. Mexico. 
H. argentidiscata Schs. may be a southern race of xolotl , but it is lighter, and the postmedian line is 
more remote from the apex. The proximal lower half of the forewing, obliquely from the costal margin to the 
anal angle is wood-coloured brown, reddish-yellow above it; instead of the anterior transverse line there are 
black dots and lunules with 2 small black spots before them; an oblique large golden and silvery spot at the 
cross-vein, a smaller one above before it; the brown postmedian line is bordered with whitish inwards, behind 
it there are patches of brown dusting, and black scales on vein 4; subterminal black lunules, and a black line 
bordered with silver between 7 and 8. Hindwing reddish and brown. Expanse of wings: 51 mm. Sa. Catlia- 
rina (Taragua). 
H. proxima sp. n. (158 d) is very closely allied to xolotl, but of a light brown colour, shaded with blackish 
behind the postmedian line, so that a notched shadowy band contrasts with the lighter marginal area here,
