the spot mentioned another feebler dentate line extends; a submarginal row of dots from the apical spot. Hind¬ 
wing with a light median band as in batis. The name speciosa Stgr. has been given to these specimens probably 
only i. 1. 40—45 mm. Mexico, Bolivia, Panama. 
Th. hersilia Drc. (172 i) slightly resembles decorata Mr. (Vol. X, pi. 85 a) from India. Forewing dark hersilia. 
reddish brown with indistinct dark transverse lines and dingy white spots. One at the inner margin at the 
base, a parted one at % of the costal margin, a small one at % costal margin, an oblique double spot at the 
apex, a small one at the inner margin near the anal angle, and a larger spot obliquely above it. Hindwing dark 
brown, paler at the base. 48 mm. Described according to a single specimen from Guatemala. 
Th. heurippa Drc. (172 h) is somewhat similar to the Eastern Asiatic trimaculata Brem. (Suppl. Vol. II, heurippa. 
pi. 14 b, nec Vol. II, pi. 49 e). Ground-colour dark red-brown. A large round light olive brown spot at the 
base is edged with yellowish. An equally large spot beside it at the costal margin is edged with yellowish only 
in its anterior half, with numerous fine white dentate lines behind and below' it. Hindwing lighter reddish 
brown. 38 mm. Panama, described according to a single specimen; the specimen figured is from Misantla, 
Mexico (Coll. Draudt). 
? Th. hypatia Drc. (172 k). The author himself doubts whether it belongs to this genus. In fact, the hypaiia. 
scheme of markings is rather different, nothing is unfortunately said about the neuration. Forewing pale olive 
brown, spotted pinkish brown and whitish. A semicircular olive brown spot in the middle of the costal margin, 
a similar one at % costal margin, a more round one near the apex. Smaller black spots at the base and below 
the first marginal spot. The central spot and the apical spot are edged with black inside. The darker brown 
spot at the inner margin is situate much farther towards the anal angle than in the other species. Marginal area 
with brown and greenish white spots. Hindwdng pale olive brown, broadly darker at the margin. 36 mm. 
Panama. Only 1 specimen known. 
? Th. casta Fldr. (172 i) may belong to this family, but it seems rather doubtful whether it belongs casta. 
also to the genus Thyatira. Ground-colour pa le oiive brown with a dark brown marking. Tw o curved dark ante- 
meclian bands, broad at the costal margin, ending pointed in the submedian fold, small and larger radial spots 
before the interior band in the basal area. Median band broad at the costal margin, ending pointed in the middle 
of the wing. Before it at the inner margin as far as before the interior line there are 2 oblique semicircular rings 
filled wdth olive brown. Exterior line vertical to the costal margin as far as vein 4, slightly inserted behind the 
cell; bent inward between vein 4 and the inner margin. Darker brown behind it, except a pale, somewhat oblong 
spot at the apex, similar to the other species. Hindwing whitish olive, broadly brown at the margin. 46 mm. 
Bogota. 
3. Genus: fhithyatira Smith. 
Wings more elongated than in Thyatira. Base of palpi very hairy. Veins 3 and 4 of forewing slightly 
separated, 5 in the middle of the cross-vein, 6 a little below the upper angle, 7 + 8 and 9 + 10 stalked. Veins 
3 and 4 of hindwing from the angle, 5 a little above it, 6 a little below r the upper angle, 8 extends close beside 
it as far as the cell-end. Type: pudens Gn. 
Eu. pudens Gn. (172 i). Thorax grey, abdomen brown. Forewdng dark red-brown. A broad white band puden 
from the base of the costal margin to the middle of the lower cell-margin, where it ends broad. Behind it traces 
of a double interior line. A pinkish white double spot in the middle of the costal margin, two smaller ones be¬ 
hind it. From these spots 3 indistinct dentate white exterior lines proceed, more strongly incurved below the 
cell. An oblique white spot at the apex, its lower part filled with pale pinkish brown. An oval pinkish brown 
spot at the anal angle is edged with white. Hindwing ochreous, darker in the distal half, with an ochreous ex¬ 
terior and submarginal line. 40 mm. North Atlantic States. - - anticostiensis Grote is greyer, the pink spots 
are less bright, the ground-colour is darker. From Anticosti (Gulf of St. Lawrence). — peiinsylvanica Smith 
(172 k) is only a more extreme form of anticostiensis. It is without any pink at all, the maculae are more di¬ 
stinctly prominent, and the ground-colour is darker than in pudens. Pennsylvania. — The larva has a white 
head with 4 black spots. The body is whitish, somewhat diaphanous, with white dorsal spots, blackish at the 
segmental margins, stigmata pale brown, with few short light hairs. On Cornus florida. 
Eu. lorata Grt. Forewing broader than in pudens , greyish brown, dusted white in the median area, the loraia. 
same around a deep brown triangular spot which forms the beginning of the submarginal line at the costal 
margin. Median lines distinct, black, nearing each other at the inner margin. Black spots behind the exterior 
line. Ring-macula small, round, near the erect oval reniform macula. A reddish, white-edged spot at the anal 
angle. A narrow undidate apical streak. The basal spot is angled in front, less extensive than in pudens. The 
apical spot of pudens is absent here. Hindwing yellowish brown with an undulating median shadow. Thorax 
light brown, laterally white. 40 mm. North Western States. 
Eu. superba Barnes. Thorax light brown, abdomen yellowish brown. Forewing brownish, blackish at 
the costal margin, interior line black, indistinct, exterior line double, undulate, somewhat indistinct in 
front. The ring-macula is a small yellow indistinct spot. Reniform macula oval, erect, brown, edged lighter. 
Veins somewhat black, on both sides of the exterior line. The 5 large light spots are distinctly edged, more or
