1151 
The median area is scarcely lighter. Hindwing with but one line from the middle of the inner margin for some 
distance in front, bent. 29—33 mm. Venezuela. 
H. fallax Warr. (171 a) resembles a species of Decetia. Wings dull flesh-coloured, dusted darker, costal fallax. 
margin broadly paler. Traces of an interior line at V 4 , slightly extra-angular in the cell. Exterior line pale, 
red-brown outside, straightly obliquely inward from the apex to vein 2, then vertical to % inner margin, where 
there are two brown spots close behind it. Hindwing with a short line from the middle of the inner margin, 
o 26 mm. Venezuela. 
The two following genera may belong to the genus Saccoploca. 
H. metallica Warr. (171 a). Distal margin of forewing much more excurved, distal margin of hindwing metallica. 
straighter, apex rounder. Forewing dark red-brown, finely dusted with greyish blue. The lines very indistinct, 
dark brown, edged with bluish grey scales. Interior line from y 3 costal margin to V 4 inner margin, broadly 
excurved in the middle of the wing. Exterior line from 3 / 5 costal margin to 3 / 5 inner margin, obliquely outward 
as far as vein 6, then bent, and straight from vein 4. Distal margin with bluish grey scales below the middle, 
a white spot above and below vein 3. Hindwing with a double dark brown median line, darker between. Marginal 
line rusty red, white dots before it. Besides 1 dot above vein 3 farther inward. $ 26 mm. Trinidad. 
? H. alternata Warr. (171 a). Dull violettish grey, darker at the inner and distal margins. Interior altemutu. 
line dark, from % inner margin straightly towards the apex, but sharply angled at vein 4, bent inward to the 
costal margin. A bent line from the middle of the inner margin, angled at vein 7 and inward to the costal margin. 
Submarginal line dark, somewhat undulated, bent inward at the costal margin, darkened before and behind 
it in the anterior part. Hindwing with a straight double black interior line. Exterior half dusted black, distal 
margin warming into reddish yellow. Apex of forewing truncate, at vein 7 the margin projects a little, only 
veins 8 + 9 are stalked. Also the hindwing shows a slight angle at vein 7. This description differs somewhat 
from the figure. $ 18 mm. Peru. 
22. Genus: Falciiiodes Gn. 
Antennae of <$ shortly pectinated, plain in the + Forewing with a projecting apex, distal margin oblique, 
anal angle rounded. Distal margin of hindwing slightly bent, anal angle rectangular. Type: corvinaria Gn. 
F. corvinaria Gn. (172 b). Lead-coloured, dusted with violettish brown. Interior line of forewing ex- corvinaria. 
curved from y 3 costal margin to the cross-vein, where it is obtusely angled, then to % inner margin. Exterior 
line from % costal margin bent parallel to the interior line, from vein 2 somewhat outward to the inner margin, 
edged white in the bend behind the cell, extending more finely to vein 2. Behind the cell a branch of the exterior 
line runs to the apex. Hindwing lighter at the costal margin. Both the transverse lines fine, parallel, slightly 
excurved in the middle. $ 35 mm. Cayenne. 
F. gazzinaria Oberth. (172 b). Forewing coloured like corvinaria , only the costal margin broadly brownish gazzinaria. 
ochreous, with somewhat darker clouds. Interior line only in the dark part, light, undulate, somewhat inward 
to Y 3 inner margin. Exterior line light, vertical to 3 / 5 inner margin, excurved close above the inner margin, 
edged with red-brown outside as far as the apex. Hindwing lighter, with an indistinct median line, angled in 
the middle. — plagataria Obertli. (173 a) shows a quadrangular yellowish spot down as far as vein 1 between plagataria. 
the two lines on the forewing. 38 mm. Guiana. 
F. perstrigata Dgn. Wings violettish brown, brownish ochreous at the costal margin. Exterior line perstrigata. 
brown, edged with ochre inside, beginning at 2 / 3 inner margin at a black dot, bent inward between veins 1 and 
2, straight as far as vein 5, obliquely outward, ending at vein 7 below the apex, a branch extending from vein 
6 inward to the costal margin. Interior line from the costal margin near the base to the inner margin at the 
base, extra-angular in the middle of the cell. 3 white submarginal dots between veins 2 and 5. Hindwing with 
2 lines as a continuation of those on the forewing, extra-angular in the middle. 30—40 mm. Guiana. 
F. rufula Warr. (171 b). Shape of wings and scheme of markings different. Ground-colour reddish rufula. 
yellow, the lines indistinct . Interior line from y 4 costal margin, strongly excurved in the cell, then inward. 
Exterior line from 2 / 3 costal margin obliquely to the middle of the inner margin and there near the interior line. 
Striated in lead-colour between the two lines; similar streaks close at the base. Submarginal line marked by 
a black spot above and below vein 4. Hindwing with somewhat darker median and submarginal bands. 9 
28 mm. Bolivia. 
gonodontaria Sn. and suggilaria Sn. seem to be no Epiplemidae according to the author’s statement 
about the neuration. 
23. Genus: Saccoploca Warr. 
This genus is composed of a dozen of species nearly all of which are rather monotonously blackish brown 
and which exhibit a great resemblance partly to some Drepanidae (for instance from the genus Psiloreta) and 
partly to some Geometridae (such as the genera Achlora, Nereia etc.). — Palpi short, porrect, antennae of $ 
finely serrate, laminate in the $. Forewing broad, triangular. Apex pointed, distal margin of $ cut out below 
it. Vein 5 from the upper cell-angle, with 6 + 7 from the same base, 8 + 9 on a long stalk. Hindwing with
