LOPHGTOSOMA; PAUROPHLEBIA; MOLYBDOPHORA. By M. Gaede. 
area darker brown, fadedly extended towards the anal angle. Hindwing with a somewhat darker undulate 
interior and exterior line, from the latter a shadow to the anal angle. $ 29 mm. Peru. — Nedusia castra (172 g) 
which we mentioned as a doubtful Nedusia on p. 1143 seems to be extremely similar. The anal angle of the 
hindwing, however, shows an excision which is absent in griseata, but the marking is at any rate more like that 
of Lophopygia. 
46. Genus: I^ophotosoina Warr. 
Similar to the genus Thysanocraspeda (p. 1161) in the wing-contours, but both the wings are more oblong. 
Hindwing at the anal angle with a lobe and a fold which is filled with rough scales beneath. Costal margin un¬ 
dulate. Neuration as in Epiplema. The penultimate abdominal segment exhibits hair-tufts which being turned 
upward meet on the dorsum. Only 1 species. 
usianalis. L. ustanalis Warr. (172 h). Forewing lavender-green, partly darker, with claret-coloured streaks between 
the veins. An oblique red line from y 3 costal margin to the median vein seems to form a triangle with another 
one from % costal margin obliquely inward. Three red streaks at the distal margin before the excision. Traces 
of a submarginal line of dark dots. Hindwing rusty red, spotted dark. Median band edged darker. A dark 
spot at the margin between veins 3 and 4, another one at the anal angle. 20 mm. Peru. 
47. Genus: Paurophlebia 
Palpi short, hind tibiae with one pair of spurs. Forewing very oblong, apex not very prominent, distal 
margin slightly angled at vein 3. Veins 2 and 3 before the lower cell-angle, the cross-vein bent upward to the 
origin of vein 4, where it disappears. 5 near the upper cell-angle, 6+7 and 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing very 
small, rounded. Veins 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 stalked. Only 1 species. 
obscura. P. obscura Dogn. Forewing olive brown, finely strewn with .white. The interior and exterior lines only 
marked by a few reddish brown spots below-the costal margin. Hindwing greyer. <+ 20 mm. Colombia. 
48. Genus : Molyhctopliora H.-Schdff. 
Palpi projecting obliquely, antennae of <$ with one row of pectinations, plain in the +. Forewing broad, 
apex obliquely truncated as far as vein 6. Anal angle sharp, inner margin excurved. Vein 2 bent downward, 
before the angle, veins 3 and 4 from the lower cell-angle, 3 slightly bent downward. 5 near the upper cell-angle, 
6 + 7 from the side of the areole, 8+9 from its apex, 10 from the costal margin. Hindwing somewhat angular 
at vein 4, anal angle rectangular. Veins 3 + 4 on a short stalk or from the same base, 5 at y 3 distance from 
the upper cell-angle, 6 + 7 on a very long stalk. Type: concinnularia H.-Schdff. As no other Epiplemid genus 
has an areole, Molybdophora may be placed here only with a reservation. 
concinnula- M. concirsnularia H.-Schdff. (172 h). Ground-colour variable: yellow, greyish yellow, reddish brown, 
ria. fi ne jy Ousted with dark. Near the apex below the costal margin sometimes blackish scales or a rusty red stripe 
through the cell, also a submarginal lead-coloured line may be traceable. Black dots at the margin especially 
near the apex. Hindwing with submarginal dots with a white halo. 22—25 mm. Venezuela, Surinam, Amazons. 
schedata. — schedata Fldr. has the normal yellow ground-colour of concinnularia. The space above the median vein on 
the forewing and vein 3 as far as the costal margin suffused with grey. Hindwing with a large black spot at 
the cross-vein. A similar one may be in concinnaria between veins 2 and 3 behind the cell-angle. 25 mm. Ama¬ 
zons. — A large form (28 mm) is before me from Bolivia. Greyish white. A rusty brown stripe extends from 
the inner margin near the base to the margin at vein 6. Three white streaks before the margin above the 
stripe. The space towards the costal margin is tinged with violet. The margin between veins 6 and 3 broadly 
black. Hindwing with a rusty yellow line before the submarginal dots. Another species of the same size has 
the ground-colour of Falcinodes rufula (171 b). 
concinnaria. 4 M. condrmaria Hbn. (172 g) shows the forewing uniformly bent at the distal margin. The areole is 
very small. Vein 2 is very strongly curved in the +, a fold with scent-scales below it. In the $ vein 2 is straight. 
The angle at vein 4 is hardly traceable on the hindwing. Ground-colour violettish grey, dusted dark. Both 
wings with black dots before the margin, more or less surrounded with lead-colour. The + shows this marking 
more distinctly, and besides a dark brown exterior band on both wings, that of the forewing being often edged 
with lead-coloured grey outside. 20—25 mm. Guiana, Brazil.
