A. moribunda Schs. Antennae yellowish ochreous. Collar, thorax and the base of the abdomen paler, moribunda. 
the veins yellowish ochreous like the hindwing. Expanse: 33 mm. Volcan de Santa Maria. Guatemala. 
A. perbrunnea Dyar. Dark purple; hindwing evidently of the same colour, although it is sorely damaged perbnmnm. 
in the type. Expanse: 25 mm. A d from Oxapampa, 2000 m. (Coll. Dognin.) 
5. Genus: I>alcericles Neum&Dyar. 
Head very small, with large eyes, palpi thin, antennae very short, scarcely as long as the thorax, with 
line bipectinations. Vein 1 of forewing separate, not ramified, 1 a present, the median vein H-shaped. vein 2 
arises behind the middle of the cell, veins 3— -5 close together. Cell broad, closed, 6 arises from the middle of 
the retracted upper half of the cross-vein; accessory cell small and rounded, 7—8 stalked from its pointed end: 
9 from the same spot; 10 evidently absent, 11 from the apex of the accessory cell apparently connected with 12 
which is separated from the base. Hindwing with two interior veins; veins 2—0 as on the forewing; 7 forms 
the continuation of the subcostal vein, 8 from the subcostal vein from the centre of the cell to the end of the 
cell, not divergent. A false discal vein extends to the angulation of the cross-vein between veins 5 and 6. Geno¬ 
type: D. ingenita Edu\ 
D. ingenita Edw. (168 a). Forewing deep yellow, somewhat orange, but not very light. Forewing of ingenita. 
a somewhat darker colouring. Thorax, abdomen and legs of the same colour. Rather paler beneath. Distinct, 
markings not present. From Arizona. 
D. bicolor Schs. head, thorax, legs, and abdomen beneath reddish orange. Abdomen above blackish bicolor. 
brown. Forewing reddish orange, the veins somewhat darker. Hindwing black, scantily scaled. Expanse: 
28 mm. Vollano Poas (Costa Rica), May. 
6. Genus: Aiiacraga Dyar. 
Antennae short, bipectinate, palpi thin, extending to the centre of the frons. Forewing with separate 
2nd and 5th veins; 6 near the upper angle of the cell, a large accessory cell: 7 and 8 on a short stalk. 9 and 10 
almost coalescent, likewise from the apex, 11 from the apex of the accessory cell, near the costa and parallel 
to the base of the subcostal vein. Hindwing elongated, triangular; veins 2 to 5 equidistant from each other. 
6 and 7 sejrarated and parallel; 8 connected with the subcostal vein at the exterior half of the cell, at the base 
separated from the latter and angled. Genotype: A. citrina■ Schs. 
A. dulciola Dyar (168 f). Forewing brown; a yellow spot at the base extends to the centre of the interior dulciola. 
margin. Hindwing orange, shaded with brown at the fringes. Expanse of wings: 11 mm. Type from La Chorrera. 
May 1912 (Busck); another specimen from Porto Bello. December 1912 (G. F. Cleveland). 
A. rebella Schs. Similarly coloured as A. geos, but much smaller, and the yellow colour not so bright; rebella. 
neuration different, since the centre of the cell is greatly retracted, whereby the accessory cell and the lower 
angle seem to be protracted, whereas in geos the end of the cell is not so retracted, but almost straight. Quite 
lemon-coloured with a slight orange tinge. Hindwing somewhat paler than the forewing and somewhat trans¬ 
parent. Expanse: 13 mm. Banana River, Costa Rica, March 1907. 
A. citrina Schs. The whole lepidopteron is completely loamy yellow. Expanse: 17 mm. Type found citrina. 
in Trinidad. 
A. citrinopsis Dyar is coloured like citrina Schs., but considerably larger. The d has an expanse of 25 mm. citr inops is. 
Only the d is known so far. d type from Callao, Peru (Mrs. M. J. Pusey). 
A. phileterea Schs. d body orange. Forewing orange, darkest at the interior margin. Hindwing orange, phileterca. 
with a broad whitish yellow costal margin. Under surface paler. Expanse: 22 mm. Sixola, La Florida (Costa Ric-a). 
A. Sofia Dyar (168 a). Forewing pale cream-coloured: a brown subbasal clouding in the submedian fold; sojia. 
a faint brown clouding extends across the centre of the wing and sub terminally; discal dot round, dark brown. 
Hindwing whitish warming into cream-colour along the interior margin. Expanse: 22 mm. Cuernavarca, 
Mexico. August 1906 (W. Schaus). 
A. sororcula Dyar. Similar to sojia Dyar, smaller, most of the markings of the wings faint or rudi- sororcula. 
mentary except the discal spot. Expanse: d 1- mm, $ 16 —17 mm; 4 2$, 2 dd from Cayuga. May till October, 
and Misantla, Mexico, September 1910 (R. Muller). 
A. geos Schs. Lemon-coloured; the frons slightly grey, the interior margin of the forewing somewhat geos. 
darker; costal margin of hindwing slightly whitish. Expanse: 18 mm. Guapiles (Costa Rica). 
A. ria Dyar (168 b). Entirely ochreous. Expanse: 18 mm. 1 d> Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Schaus). It ria. 
may be the genuine D. ochracea Wkr., in which case this name would have to be cancelled as synonymous.
