HABITAT. Gulf States, extending northward along 1 the coast, occa- 

 sionally to Maine. New York in October; District of Columbia in Sep- 

 tember. 



The types of all save Cramer's species are in the British Museum. 

 There are more names which I am certain refer to this same form; but 

 I have given above all from our own literature. Herrich-Schaeffer and 

 Gundlach both use Guenee's name in their works.

HABITAT. Massachusetts in September; New York, west to the 

 Central States, south to Florida and Texas; Texas in No veinlx-i 1 and 

 December; District of Columbia in October. 



The types are in the British Museum. Claufacta is a rubbed speci- 

 men, but of the normal type. Commoda is a, more obscure form in 

 which the white is almost eliminated. It is quite probable that Walker 

 has still further described the species from South America, but I had 

 no time to study the matter, and the relief of our own literature from 

 unidentified names was my chief object. 



C. punctifera Wlk. 



1856. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., x, 263, Celtcna. 



semifnrca Wlk. 

 1856. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., x, 732, Celtena. 



HABITAT. " United States;" St. Domingo. 



Walker's types are in the British Museum. That of punctifera is one 

 of Doubleday's specimens without locality and may have come from 

 Florida. The other specimens are under the other name, one from the 

 u West Indies," the other from Jamaica. Walker gives it from St. 

 Domingo. The insect has the wing form of albolabes, but it is much 

 smaller. It is like fabrefacta in color; the ordinary spots are well 

 marked and the reniform is spotted with white. 



P. falsa Grt. 

 1889. Grt. Can. Ent., xii, 215, Pengea. 



HABITAT. Havilah, California. 



The type is in the British Museum. The insect has a curious resem- 

 blance to Mamestra leucogramma.
