Genus Dalcerina, nov. 
Antennae short, bipectinate, a tuft of scales at tip above ; head prominent, eyes 
large ; palpi porrect, slender, exceeding the front by half their length, not reaching 
vertex ; third joint minute. Legs slender, hind tibiae with end spurs only. Wings 
full, rounded; fore wing costa straight, rounded at apex; vein I, furcate at base, 
without branch ; I c present; 2 at middle of cell; 4 and 5 short stalked; cell closed 
by the short, wide angled furcation of discal vein ; 6 midway between 5 and discal 
vein ; 7 and 8 long stalked below apex of cell; 9 and 10 very long stalked as in Dal- 
cera , but II also stalked with 9 and 10 for some distance; 12 from base; retinaculum 
a long fold. Hind wings with three internal veins ; vein 2 from the middle of cell; 
3 and 4 arising close together ; 5 from the lower part of cross vein ; discal vein as on 
fore wing ; 6 and 7 very remote, running parallel; 8 very close to 7 to end of cell, 
but free or with a trace only of a cross bar toward base where the vein is rounded 
toward costa. Frenulum long. 
Type tijucana Schaus (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1892, 322). Mr. 
Schaus’ type is before me, and looks, superficially, like a variety of 
Dale era fa mat a. 
Genus Acraga Walk. 
1855 — Acraga Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. Lep. Het. IV, 807. 
1882 —Pinconia Moore, Proc. Lit. Phil. Soc. Liverp. XXXVI, 364. 
Venatation as in Daicera {vide Moschler, Verh. Zool. Bot. Ges. Wien, XXVII, 
673), but accessory cell present ; veins 7-8 and 9-10 on stalks from accessory cell; 
11 from the top of accessory cell. 
Type ciliata Walker; also moorei Dyar (|| ochracea Moore), 
ochracea Walk, and coa Schaus. Also melinda Druce, unknown to 
me. I am indebted to Sir G. F. Hampson for information about 
Walker’s type in the British Museum. 
Genus Dalcerides N. & D. 
• » 
1893 —Dalcerides Neumcegen and Dyar, Can. Ent. XXV, 121. 
Close to Acraga , but the stalk of veins 9 and 10 reaches tip of wing. 
Type ingenita Hy. Edw.; also mesoa Druce, the latter from Mr. 
Schaus’ collection. 
Genus Epipinconia, nov. 
Antennae short, bipectinate ; eyes large ; palpi slender, porrect, reaching half 
their length beyond the front; legs slender, hind tibiae without spurs. Fore wing 
triangular, costa straight; vein 10 shortly stalked on the stalk of 7 and 8, 9 coinci¬ 
dent (absent), II at base of accessory cell, all as in Dalcerides. Hind wings trigo- 
nate ; inner margin long, anal angle sharply rounded, as also apex, the outer margin 
nearly straight; veins 2 to 5* somewhat equally spaced, 3 and 4 nearest; 6 above the 
end of discal vein, remote from and parallel to 7 ; 8 close to subcostal to end of cell, 
then divergent. Thinly scaled, bronzy, glistening species.
