A GENERIC REVISION OF THE AMERICAN MOTHS OF THE 
SUBFAJSIILY IIYPENINAE, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW 
GENERA AND SPECIES. 
Bj William Schaus. 
INTRODUCTION. 
No attempt has ever been made to classify the Hypenmae of 
tropical America. As the North American species have been worked 
out by the late Prof. J. B. Smith in Bulletin 48 of the United States 
National Museum, I have not revised them and have merely referred 
to the type-species of each genus; the genera had to be included in 
this paper as many of them contained species from the Neotropical 
region, while others might be represented when the Mexican fauna 
becomes better known. So much confusion has existed in regard to 
this subfamily that it was necessary to identify and key the genera 
in such a way that students would be able to follow a given classifica- 
tion. It has been necessary to use certain secondary sexual characters 
in order to facilitate the recognition of genera and species, but the key 
itself does not always explain the great differences existing in appar- 
ently aUied genera. In some few cases the venation varies in the 
same genus, sometimes in the one sex, sometimes between the males 
and females. For the facility of identification 41 new genera are 
described and 150 new species. Reference is made to all the Neo- 
tropical species described as Ilypeninac or apparently referable to that 
subfamily. The bulk of the known species arc represented in the 
national collection, to wliich I have added colored drawings of all of 
Walker's species at the British Museum and Oxford, also of Sir George 
Hampson's and Warren's which are not in the collection. Of a few 
of Guenee's um:ecognized species I hope to add drawings later on. 
Altogether 164 genera and 776 species are referred to, not counting 
those which sink in the synonymy.

No doubt a large number of species belonging to this genus remain 
to be discovered, especially among the very small forms, as they run 
close together and are difiicult to obtain in good condition. I have 
left several species in the United States National Museum collection 
unnamed as they are too rubbed to describe, though evidently 
representing distinct species. Some males assume a most distorted 
position when at rest.

The female is larger and very similar to the male; the terminal 
brown shade on fore wing is usually much reduced. This species has 
usually been confounded with P. spectalis Guenee. 
It may possibly be Paltliis insignalis Walker, described from an 
unknown locality, and which is placed in the British Museum collec- 
tion as a synonym of P. spectalis Guenee. I doubt whether we know 
the true spectalis. Guenee's description does not agree with the 
figure on plate 9, No. 1.

ing termen; apex and termen to vein 5 fuscous brown, as in P. hlzialis
