describes the cocoon to be of a normal structure. 
29. Genus: Alarodm Mschlr. 
Separated from the preceding genus merely by the stronger head. Synonyms of the genera are: Phyrne

nana. A. nana Mschlr. (= jamaicensis Schs.). Forewing white with a grey shadow along the inner margin, 
the A with a submarginal row of black splashes from veins 2—5. Hindwing dark smoky grey. Both wings 
beneath smoky, strongest along the margins. Expanse of wings: d 1 14, $ 17 mm. Jamaica. 
30. Genus: £upliobetron Dyar.
