S. coronaria Strecker (170 e) has the wing-contours of evulsa (170 f), but it is smaller. Wings grey, glossy. 
Forewing with traces of an exterior strongly notched line from the costal margin to vein 5. A few dark spots 
outside at the costal margin. 30 mm. Florida. 
S. canoferata Wkr. Grey, indistinctly striated, rusty brown at the distal margin. Exterior line black, 
strongly notched, somewhat interrupted on the forewing, with a black radial streak at the base. Interior line 
black, notched. A few black spots at the costal margin. Hindwing with a notched black median line. Brown 
between it and the exterior line. 34 mm. Ega. 
S. servaria Wkr. and canoferata may be identical with the variable squammularia (170 e). Reddish 
yellowish grey, striated dark. Exterior line as in canoferata. Somewhat reddish yellow at the distal margin. 
35 mm. Rio de Janeiro. 
Each of the following species has different contours o f t h e wings. 
S. saginaria Gn. (172 a). Light violettish brown, striated dark. The marking consists only of an exterior 
row of indistinct black dots and a few marginal dots in the anterior part. Hindwing with a red-brown line before 
the exterior row of dots and two short bands of dark scales extending from the cell to the inner margin. 2 
28 mm. Cayenne. It is doubtful whether the species- belongs to this place, it is very similar to Molybdophora 
concinnaria Him. (172 g). 
S. fuligaria Gn. (170 f). Distal margin of forewing slightly projecting at vein 6. Veins 3 and 4 close 
together, bent somewhat upward at their origin. Veins 6 -f- 7 of hindwing on a very long stalk. Wings dark 
violettish grey, with a lead-coloured submarginal line, fringe rusty brown. Forewing with a rusty brown ray 
from the base almost to the margin below vein 5, then upward before the lead-coloured line. Hindwing with 
traces of a rusty brown submarginal line and black dots at it in the posterior part. 20 mm. Guiana. 
? S. semissaria H.-Schdff. (172b). Wings light greyish yellow, striated darker. Both wings with in¬ 
terior and exterior lines, dark brown, parallel, strongly angled in the middle, somewhat und u lated. Fore wing 
with a dark apical streak and a line from the base of the wing to the centre of the margin. 24 mm. Surinam. 
Herrich-Schaffer's figure which is copied here may be a bad figure of acutaria Wkr. (170 b). 
? S. repandaria Wkr. Greyish brown, with 3 indistinct brown transverse lines. The first two undulated, 
the third notched. Distal margin angled in the middle. 35 mm. Bogota. 
16. Genus: Syngrlafo. 
This genus rvas formerly quite differently comprehended. To-day it is confined to one of the largest 
and commonest species of the Epiplemidae. — Antennae short, laterally compressed. Palpi thin, long. Ab¬ 
domen of d with a long anal tuft. Forewing with a very pointed apex, a sharp anal angle, the margin in the 
d slightly excurved at vein 6. Vein 2 a little before the angle, 3 and 4 from the lower cell-angle, 5 close at the 
upper angle, 6 + 7 on a long stalk, 8 + 9 on a very long stalk. Hindwing of d with points at veins 2, 3 and 
4, the anal angle cut out below 2. Veins 3 4 stalked from the lower cell-angle, 5 above the middle of the 
cross-vein, 6 from the upper angle. 8 and 7 swollen at the base, 7 branching off from the centre of the cell. 
$ only with a point at vein 3, the anal angle is also cut out. Veins 3 and 4 as well as 6 and 7 from the cell- 
angles or on very short stalks. Type: druidaria Gn. 
S. druidaria Gn. ($ = falcinaria Gn.) (170 f). The species varies extraordinarily much in its colouring 
and the distinctness of the marking. The very conspicuous light spot on the forewing may also be quite absent 
above and almost entirely absent beneath. Ground-colour light yellow, greyish yellow, red-brown, dark vio¬ 
lettish brown. — Sometimes also the median area is of a much lighter colour than the rest. Such specimens 
are called: derwaria Oberth. (172 g). Interior line of forewing vertical, straight, only at the costal margin slightly 
inward. Exterior line more angled at vein 4, less so at the partition of 6 + 7, bent inward between vein 4 and 
the inner margin. On the hindwing the interior line joins that of the forewing. Exterior line from the middle 
of the costal margin obliquely outward to vein 4, where it forms a very pointed angle, and a feebler one below 
vein 2. The little tails are black. Forewing mostly with a black subapical dot. A light submarginal spot be¬ 
tween veins 2 and 4, also beneath. 35—50 mm. — From Mexico to Brazil, apparently very common. — dre- 
panata Fldr. only known as a $ is surely only based upon large specimens of druidaria ; before me there is such 
a specimen from Venezuela, at least as large as Felder’s figure of it. 
17. Genus: Styiigriocles Ware. 
The genus is not described by Warren, but owing to the statement that incisaria Wkr. belongs to 
it, it is characterized. Forewing of $ with a pointed apex and angle at vein 4. Veins 3 and 4 close at the 
lower cell-angle, 2 a little back. 5 near the upper cell-angle, 6 -f- 7 stalked on half their length, 8 + 9 stalked. 
On the hindwing veins 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 are stalked, 5 from the middle of the cross-vein. Hindwing of d (in
