The margin intensely dusted with blue. Hindwing with traces of the two transverse lines. According to the 
figure the forewing is without the interior line, the exterior line seems to be steeper, broadly edged with grey 
inside. 30—32 mm. Peru. 
S. consimilis Warr. (171 c). The right consimilis-^. (thus not the present brevimargo-Q) exhibits an consimilis. 
excision at the margin of the forewing. According to the figure the species is somewhat darker than excisa-Q. 
Both wings without the interior line. The exterior line on the hindwing seems to end at the inner margin a 
little farther outside. • 28 mm. Presumably also from Peru. — Considering the variability of some South-American 
Epiplemidae, it might be possible that brevimargo, hendida and the “right” consimilis are all forms of one species. 
The correct determination is made almost impossible by the inexact description of hendida and the distribution 
and displacing of the name consimilis. 
S. delicata Kaye. Described as Syngria. Body and wings pale brownish pink. A whitish spot with a delicata. 
black marginal line inside is at the cross-vein of the forewing. The two lines are olive brown. The interior one 
projects pointedly to the discal spot, from where it extends very obliquely inward to the costal and inner margin's, 
rather indistinct. Exterior line from the costal margin almost horizontally outward as far as vein 7, where it 
is angled and straight to 3 / 5 inner margin, much more distinct than the interior line. Hindwing slightly strewn 
with black. An interior and exterior line, mentioned in the original description, are not to be noticed. 30 mm. 
Trinidad. 
24. Genus : Asyngria Dgn. 
Antennae thick, palpi large, projecting beyond the frons. Forewing with a pointed apex, distal margin 
rounded. Vein 5 close below the upper cell-angle, 6 + 7 stalked, 8 + 9 + 10 stalked, 10 slightly anastomosing 
with 11, so that a little accessory cell is formed. Hindwing slightly angled at vein 7, then straight as far as 
vein 4. Veins 3 and 4 arise separately, 5 from the middle of the cross-vein, 6 + 7 stalked. Type: nigripuncta 
Dogn. 
A. nigripuncta Dogn. Wings grey, striated brown. Forewing at 3 + of its length with a distinct light line nigripuncta. 
parallel with the margin, but with a deep indentation between veins 3 and 5, and with 3 black subapical spots, 
the upper two round, the third oblong. The same line on the hindwing is correspondingly shaped. $ 27 mm. 
Ecuador. 
25. Genus: Auorthodisca Dgn. 
The genus consists of 3 Colombian species, of which presumably only the type or the series of types are 
known; they are in the Un. Stat. Nat. Mus. at Washington. Figures were hardly ever supplied by Dognin, nor 
are the descriptions very clear. For characterizing the genus it is stated that the palpi are straight and project 
beyond the head. Antennae laminated. Vein 3 of forewing before the lower cell-angle, 5 with 6 + 7 from the 
same base, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 10 close behind them, nothing is mentioned about veins 8 and 9. Hindwing 
dentate at veins 2. 3 and 4, then straight to the angled apex. Vein 5 not far from 4, 6 + 7 on a short stalk. 
Type: albimacula Dogn. 
A. albimacula Dogn. Ground-colour brown, densely striated black, especially at the costal margin of albimacula. 
the fore wing and at the anal angle of the hindwing. Forewing with a black spot at the cross-vein. Exterior line 
bant, very indistinct, with white dots at it between veins 6 and 1. Somewhat blackish below the apex. Hind- 
wing also with a black cellular spot. Exterior line blackish, excurved as far as vein 4, then quite indistinct. White 
dusting behind it at the inner margin, and submarginal white streaks. $ 34 mm. Colombia. — In inipicta Dogn. impicta. 
the marking is simplified. The striation is reduced and the colour thereby more uniform. Forewing with a single 
white dot between veins 4 and 5. The hindwing shows only traces of the white streaks at the anal angle. Cellular 
dot of forewing small, but the exterior line distinct. The interior line extends from the forewing into the cell 
of the hindwing. From the same habitat. 
A. caesia Dogn. Hindwing obtuse at the apex. Ground-colour grey, with a lilac gloss, with black scales, caesia. 
Forewing whitish in the last third of the distal margin. A rather large black spot at the cross-vein. An exterior 
dark shadowy band vertical from the costal margin to vein 5, then disappearing inward. A fine white dot behind 
it above vein 4, and a black marginal dot above vein 6. Hindwing white at the inner margin with black streaks, 
finely white farther at the distal margin. $ 28 mm. Colombia. 
A. florelineata Dogn. Ground-colour as in caesia. The lines on the forewing formed of shadowy bands, florelineata. 
A curved interior band. A black dot at the cross-vein. Exterior band also bent, with a series of reddish dots, 
finely edged with white, distinct between veins 8 and 4, less distinct from there to the inner margin. A brown 
marginal dot above vein 6. Hindwing black and white at the inner margin. Besides an exterior band forming 
the continuation of the band of the forewing, with the same dots. 3b mm. Colombia. 
Genus: Chrysocestls Hbn. 
The three species: bisignata Wkr., fimbriaria Cr. and fimbrialis Stoll were formerly placed to the Epi¬ 
plemidae. They are very much alike, so that it may be sure that not only fimbriaria Or. which was lying before 
me, but also the two other species are Geometridae.
