Word of the day: Juvenilia

Juvenilia is a term applied to literary or artistic works produced by an author during his or her youth.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenilia

I wonder if there is a term for “works produced by an author during his or her declining years”? If not, some suggestions could include: senileilia… geriatrilia… venerabilia… veteranilia… ?
