1298 CALL1PIELUS; PHILANGLAUS; OSRHOES; PHASSUS. By Pv. Pfitzner j. 
8. Genus: Callipielus Btlr. 
Neuration very similar to that of Pielus. Wings shaped as in Charagia Wkr. (Vol. X, p. 828), broad, 
forewing triangular, costa rather straight, apex obtuse, exterior angle rather uniformly rounded. Body very 
long, rather thin, thorax long-haired, antennae short, thin. Legs rather short and stout. 
C. arenosus Btlr. (185 e). Habitus similar to that of Pielus australis Wkr. (Vol. X, pi. 77 b). Forewing 
pale flesh-brown, clouded dark, very scantily watered with pale yellow, covered with irregular silvery dots 
and spots which are bordered with dark brown. A submarginal silvery stripe bordered with brown does not 
reach the costa. A marginal series of small oval silvery spots bordered with brown; a silver streak bordered 
with black through the cell; sometimes 1 or 2 black streaks at the discocellular veins, and a series of oblique 
discal streaks before the silvery submarginal stripes. Hindwing sandy ochreous. Under surface everywhere 
sandy ochreous. 78—81 mm. Chile (Valdivia). A beautiful series of this rare species is in the Berlin Museum, 
from which we have figured a specimen here. 
7. Genus: l*liilusBglntis Btlr.*). 
Habitus of the velleda-groiiiJ, but the antennae pectinated as in the Australian genus Porina from the 
Oxycanus- group. Fore wing truncately triangular, veins uncommonly plain. Hindwing almost triangular. Apex 
rather pointed, thorax very robust, head short, palpi short and stout, not projecting beyond the head. Antennae 
rather long, of a / 5 of the length of the forewing, pectinated. Abdomen rather broad at the base, compressed 
behind, legs rather long and stout. 
Ph. ornatus Btlr. Forewing of $ above white in the costal area, the oblique area, crossed by the median 
vein and the radial veins, greyish brown, exterior and interior parts pale sandy brown with distinctly marked 
dark brown markings edged snow-white: 2 basal spots, 1 irregular transverse spot, from the base of the costa 
to the exterior third of the inner margin, its centre almost square, separated by a white edge from an indistinct 
semicircular spot at the basal third of the inner margin. Two small darker spots before the centre of the costa; 
the oblique band passes through the cell-end; 2 or 3 small dark spots at the disc and a light irregular discal 
band. Fringes traversed by 2 pale brown lines, a white line between them. Hindwing pale silky sand-brown, 
a feebly undulated dark postmedian line, fringes as on the forewing. Thorax whitish brown, striped grey, collar 
white with a brown spot on each shoulder; head brown, vertex white; antennae white, pectinations brown, 
abdomen greyish white. Under surface pale sand-brown with brown bands. The markings of the upper surface 
show through beneath. Hinclwing bordered with white at the curved part of the costa, a black spot behind 
it, a bipartite costal spot and a triangular apical spot, fringe with a pale basal line, bordered by a grey line, 
behind which there are 1 or 2 white spots. 55 mm. Chile. 
8. Genus: Osrlioes Drc. 
Head very small, palpi short, long-haired, the 3rd joint very tiny. Antennae very short, thorax, ab¬ 
domen. legs slender, hindlegs of $ with dark hair. Forewing long, very round at the anal angle, cell long, narrow; 
hindwing long, narrow, apex rounded. 
A. coronata Drc. <$. Head, antennae, collar, palpi and thorax golden brown, abdomen and legs dark 
brown. Fore wing golden brown, hindwing pale brown, all the fringes brown. forewing dark brown, with 
some very indistinct dark brown maculae at the inner margin. Distal margin from the apex to the anal angle 
watered with grey scales. Both sexes with an expanse of wings of 33 mm. Colombia, Sierra del Libano. 
9. Genus: JPliassus Wkr. 
This highly specialized genus is most characteristic of Tropical America, where it reaches the climax 
of its development, while the other centre of development, the Indo-Australian Region, is far inferior both in 
number and size of the species. Antennae very short, thin, palpi disappearing, proboscis absent. Abdomen very 
long; wings broad, separated far from each other (the Hepialid gap), apex of forewing extended. Marbled brown 
and grey, more or less spotted golden. From medium sizes to gigantic sizes. Larvae in the trunks of trees. 
Distributed throughout Tropical and Subtropical America. 
Ph. eldorado Pf. (99 g). Expanse of wings: 53 mm. Thorax brownish ochreous. Abdomen reddish 
ochreous. Forewing with a sharp falciform apex. The scheme of markings generally similar to that of Ph. shamyl 
(Vol. II, pi. 54 a) to which the new pecies appears to be most closely allied, but the ground-colour of the fore¬ 
wing is not brown, but of a bright brown gloss. As in shamyl, there is a macula in the discal area and a series 
of 4 small ones before the costal margin; they are of a lighter golden colour than the ground (silvery golden). 
*) The species ornatus dealt with here by Pfitznjbr is probably better ranged among the Ccssidae.
