The species of this genus are mostly North American; one has been recorded from 
our region.

POAPHILA. 
Poaphila, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 299 (1852); Walker, Cat. xiv. p. 1467. 
This genus includes a large number of species distributed over North, Central, and 
South America and the Antilles; the majority of these, however, are from North 
America. Of the five species now enumerated from within the limits of our region, 
_we have only received examples of two. 
1. Poaphila bistrigata. 
Ptichodis bistrigata, Hiibn. Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. i. p. 21, ff. 111, 112°. 
Ortholitha bistrigata, Hiibn. Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 338. 
Poaphila bistrigata, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 3037; Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 1471°. 
Phurys bistrigata, Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 41 (1882).

2. Poaphila amplissima. 
Poaphila amplissima, Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 14737. 
Hab. Nortn Amenica, East Florida !.—Panama, Chiriqui (Ridde). 
This species is not included in Grote’s ‘Check-List of North-American Moths.’ It 
may be an extreme form of P. bdistrigata, Hiibn. 
3. Poaphila stricta. 
Poaphila stricta, Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 1476'. 
Hab. Honvuras (Dyson 1).—Amazons, Santarem 1. 
I have searched in vain for the types of this species in the National Collection.
