HABITAT. Labrador; Greenland; Canada in September; Adiron- 

 dack Mountains in July. 



I have seen no types. The species is credited to "Boisduval in 

 Mus.," but was first described by Guenee. The types are probably 



with M. Oberthiir. 



P. mortuorum Gu.*

 1857. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., xn, 910, Plusia. 



HABITAT. Canada; Northern and Eastern States; New York and 

 New Jersey, July and August. 

 The type is in the British Museum.

HABITAT. Anticosti; Canada in September; Maine; Vermont; Mas- 

 sachusetts in September; New York; Wisconsin. 



I have seen no type. I can not find that Sanborn ever described this 

 species, and therefore credit it to Mr. Grote, who did so.

HABITAT. Hudson Bay Territory; Nova Scotia; Canada. 



The above synonymy is after Walker, and may or may not be correct. 

 Dr. Bethune writes falrifera while Walker has it falcigera. I have not 

 seen the original description and am not sure which is correct. Mr. 

 Grote, however, also writes falciyera, and he has, perhaps, compared 

 the original work. The specimens in the British Museum labeled fal- 

 ciyera by Walker are vaccinii Hy. Edw., and do not accord well with 

 the description copied by Dr. Bethune. It is, however, quite likely 

 That the species belongs here. 



P. vaccinii Hy. Edw.* 

 1886. Hy. Edw., Euto. Amer., n, 170, Phisia. 



HABITAT. Mt. Washington, N, H.; New York, Adirondack Moun- 

 tains; Nova Scotia,
