the costal margin. $ 22 mm. Venezuela. 
E. subpatulata Wkr. Brownish white, irregularly spotted rusty red. Forewing with blackish spots at subpatulata. 
the costal margin near the base. Two oblique straight rusty red lines from the costal margin to the centre of 
the wing. A rusty red spot at the inner margin, corresponding to the interior line of the hindwing. Hindwig 
with tw r o indentations and 2 sharp dents, a jet-black spot at the second dent, with 2 rusty red lines, the interior 
one shortened in front, the exterior one behind. $ 22 mm. Brazil. 
3. Forewing with an excision at the distal margin.

line black, interrupted. Forewing with a long black spot at the cross-vein, distal margin shaped as in chaly¬ 
beata. Hindwing with a small dent at the middle of the margin, truncate beside it. $ 17 mm. Brazil. 
E. subsignaria Wkr. White, finely dusted with black, distal margin with black dots. Forewong with a subsignaria. 
brown median band, irregular, incomplete, forming a bow at the inner margin. Hinchving with an incomplete 
brown median line, with two short blunt dents at the margin. $ 17 mm. Brazil. 
E. lacerataria Wkr. Reddish yellow, scantily dusted with black. Interior line black, extra-angular, Impataria. 
interrupted. Submarginal band brown, faded, far interrupted on the forewing. Exterior line of forewing rusty 
yellow, undulatingly edged with grey, with a white dot outside behind the cell, with black dots at the inner 
margin. A bent black streak at the deep indentation at the distal margin, exterior part of the inner margin 
hollow. Hindwing with 3 sharp dents at the rusty yellow distal margin, a black eyespot behind the lowest dent. 
Exterior line black, edged with white outside, angled. Costal margin excavated in the middle and at the apex. 
$26 mm. Amazons. 
E. parvaria Wkr. Ash-grey, somewhat reddish yellow. Wings pointed. The lines reddish yellow, fine, parvaria. 
dentate, oblique. Forewdng with black costal-marginal dots, distal margin reddish yellow at the excision with 
white streaks. Hindwing with a black spot at the end of the reddish yellow streak, exterior line partly edged 
with black. $ 17 mm. Amazons. 
E. proclivaria Schs. Similar to lacerataria. Body and wings brown. Forewing with a few dark streaks proclivaria. 
in the basal area. Median line dark brown, excurved in the middle, almost angular at vein 4. The exterior line 
is a blackish brown shadow, bent inward, edged with dark brown outside, excurved below vein 2, and edged 
outside with a white line. A white spot behind it above vein 4, and a small blackish browm marginal spot above 
vein 5. Hindwing paler at the inner margin. Interior line excurved, dark brown. Exterior line dark brown, 
finely edged with w r hite outside. Distal margin projecting between veins 6 and 7. $ 30 mm. Costa Rica. 
30. Genus: Tliysaiiocraspecla Warr. 
A subordinate group of Epiplema, which it resembles in the neuration and the marking of the wings. 
It consists of 9 species all of which are known from Peru and Colombia bordering on it. The forewing is slightly 
cut out at the margin, the hindwing is strongly dentate at vein 7, mostly less dentate at vein 4. The $ shows 
a hair-pencil at the inner margin of the hindwing, with a groove between vein 1 and the cell, mostly containing 
flour-like scales. For the $ alone it is thus not easy to decide whether they are to be included here or in Epi¬ 
plema. Type: semicastanea Warr. 
Th. nudata Warr. (171 g). Greyish yellow. An indistinct median band on the forewing with puncti- nudata. 
form black edges at the costal and inner margins. Feebly darker at the excision. Hind wing somewhat browner, 
grey at the inner margin, the pencil at the inner margin yellowish. Black dots above the middle of the inner 
margin. Both wings have no coarse hair at the anal angle as in inornata, but there are rusty brown scales in 
the fold on the hindwing as in geminipuncta. E 19 mm. Peru. 
Th. inornata Warr. (171 g, h). Forewing dark brownish grey, a brown luna before the excision. The inornata. 
$ shows traces of a darker median band the outer edge of which is rather vertical, with an outward dent at 
the median vein, the inner margin is slightly bent. Coarse scales at the anal angle, extending also inward below 
vein 2 which is bent downward. Hindwing almost uniformly dark grey, a median band is scarcely traceable.
