23. Small, with narrow wings, of a reddish tint .... . deba Dyar. 
With broader wings, dark brown without a reddish tint . styse Dyar. 
24. Distal margin of forewing angled, upper surface finely wrinkled.26 
25. Larger, darker, wrinkles of forewing more separated and not numerous .... ulaula Dyar. 
Smaller, lighter, wrinkles of forewing nearer together and more numerous . . . michorta Dyar. 
26. Wings without spots. lucens Wkr. 
Wings with but one discal dot . sardites Drc. 
Wings with a discal dot and a dot on the discal fold. debella Dyar. 
Wings only with a spot on the discal fold. dognini Dyar. 
N. perpectinata Dyar (165 g). Bright reddish brown, the basal area slightly darkened; the lines dark, 
the exterior one rather indistinct, the interior one bordered with light outside. Hindwing rather light brown 
with a grey tint. Expanse of wings: 3 24 mm; $ unknown. Brazil. 
N. subpectinata Dyar (= urichia Schs.). In the 3 the lines exhibit strong white borders, so that they 
appear light on a dark ground, in the $ the ground-colour is lighter brown and the lines appear therefore darker. 
Expanse of wings: 3 17—20, $ 20—23 mm. The larva was found by F. W. Urich on cocoa-nut palms, but 
he did not supply a description. Guiana; Trinidad. 
N. nucea Dgn. (165 g). Dark brown, the lines dark, without white borders, separated at the costal 
margin. Antennae dark brown. Expanse of wings: 3 20 mm; $ unknown. French Guiana. 
N. daona Drc. (165 g). Lighter or darker brown, the lines distinct, bordered with light outside, separated 
at the costal margin. Hindwing generally blackish. Expanse of wings: 3 21—25, 30—33 mm. Mexico. 
Guatemala. It is very similar to nasoni. 
N. nasoni Grt. (— rude If. Edw.). Forewing whitish brown, strewn darker with distinct dark lines 
which are rather broad, the interior one slightly bent. Hindwing light blackish. Expanse of wings: 3 20—22, 
$ 23—24 mm. Larva rather stout, quadrangular, green, marked with undulating yellow lines and a straight 
yellow subdorsal line; horns very short, mostly red, the two posterior ones projecting as shoi’t distantly se¬ 
parated tails. It lives on low oak-bushes. New York, Virginia, North Carolina. 
N. fuscodivisa Dgn. (165 g) has dark bronze brown forewings with narrow light lines, inwardly bordered 
with more distinct bronze shading; they meet at the costal margin. Hindwing black. Expanse of wings: 
3 25 mm; $ unknown. French Guiana,; Surinam. 
N. fusca Drc. (= salta Drc.). From very dark to light reddish brown, the light lines meeting almost 
or entirely at the costal margin, the exterior one shaded with reddish inside, the interior one with a blackish 
border which is often as distinct as the line itself. Hindwing from bronze brown to blackish. Expanse of wings: 
3 25—35, $ 40—42 mm. Mexico, Central America, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela. 
N. mycalia Stoll (165 g). Forewing dark brown, more grey at the margin, the broad lines light loam- 
coloured, somewhat faded; the veins bordered with light outside. Hindwing lighter brown, the veins likewise 
somewhat light-striped outside. Expanse of wings: $ 46 mm, 3 unknown. A. Hempel sent cocoons of this 
species, but wrote nothing about the larva. The larva figured by Stoll does not belong to this species. Guiana, 
Brazil. 
N. simois Stoll (= abscissa Wkr., senilis Fldr.) (165 g) has dark brown forewings with a violet tint as 
far as the dark exterior line, yellowish straw-coloured behind it, more or less intensely shaded with lilac. Hmo¬ 
wing blackish brown. Expanse of wings: 3 28—35 mm; $ unknown. Giuana, Bolivia, Brazil (Amazons). 
N. caria Drc. is a small species with mouse-coloured wings, a dark discal dot and a straight brown 
shaded line close at the margin. Hindwing coloured the same. Expanse of wings: 3 15—16, $ 17—20 mm. 
Panama, Guatemala. 
. N. pucara Dgn. (= quadrata Berg nec Wkr., bergii Dyar) (165 h). Forewing from dark violettish brown 
to light greyish brown, thorax and abdomen above more or less tinged with dark fiery red; exterior line near 
the margin, bordered somewhat light outside, and an oblique line from the base of the inner margin to the 
cell-end; here there is a small dark discal dot. Hindwing variable, lighter or darker. Expanse of wings: 3 25 
to 30, $ 37 nnn. Colombia, Guiana, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina. 
N. increscens Dyar (165 h) is similar to pucara, but much larger, a large dark form. Expanse of wings: 
3 38—40 mm; $ unknown. Guinea. 
N. miradora Dyar (165 h) resembles a small dark pucara , but the exterior line is interrupted beneath 
by a large round bronze shadow on the anal angle; basal area darkened. Hindwing brown. Expanse of wings: 
<3 25 mm, 2 unknown. Mexico.
