480 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



P. lunifera Hbn. Paterson VII, 14, Guttenberg X. 4 (Wrms); Elizabeth 

 V, 17 (Bz); 5-mile beach VIII, 5 (Haim). This is also referred as 

 "penna" Morr. in the previous edition. 



P. lineosa Wlk. Some of the records for "lunifera" probably refer to 

 this species, and I have little doubt that both will be found to occur 

 throughout the State, as they are generally mixed in collections. I 

 have seen it from Elizabeth VIII, 6 & 9 (Bwl, Bz). 



P. unilineata Grt. Staten Island V (Ds); Newark VI (Bwl); not com- 

 mon, and a well-marked species. 



P. obliqua Gn. Staten Island V, VII, VIII (Ds) ; Elizabeth (Kp). 



P. metata Sm. Newark VI, 11 (Bwl') ; almost undoubtedly confused with 

 the preceding. 



P. curema Sm. Sure to occur in New Jersey. 



P. helata Sm. Quite within our fauna! range. 



P. squammularis Dm. Probably confused with "obliqua." 



P. benesignata Harv. Lakewood V, 3 (Ds). 



P. cingulifera Wlk. Newfoundland IV, 25 (Ds) ; Elizabeth V, 29 (Bz). 



P. calycanthata S. & A, Recorded from Elizabeth; but it is very doubt- 

 ful whether the species really occurs in the State. I have seen only 

 Georgia and Florida examples myself, and the records probably 

 refer to "lineosa" or "lunifera." 



P. horrida Hbn. Paterson V, 12 (Gr) ; 5-mile beach V, 27, VIII, 21 

 (Haim); Staten Island VI-VIII, and probably throughout the State, 

 locally common. 



EREBUS Latr. 



E. odora Linn. Staten Island VI, IX, 3 specimens, all females (Ds) ; 

 Newark IX, 4, IX, 26 (div); a wind visitor, occasionally taken near 

 the coast, generally in fall. 



PSEUDANTHRACIA Grt. 



P. coracias Gn. No actual records, but surely to be found in the State; 

 the Elizabeth record of last edition was an error. 



TRAMA Harv. 

 T. detrahens Wlk. Laurel Springs VI, 3 (Dke). 



Family HYPENID^. 



These are the "snout-moths," so called because in many of them the 

 palpi are projected straight forward into a beak, though sometimes they 

 are curved sickle-like over the head. They are also known as Deltoids 

 because many of them, when at rest, have the outline of the Greek letter 

 J (delta). They are all obscurely colored moths of small or moderate 

 size, living in woods, among undergrowth or in grassy places. The larvae 

 of some species lack one pair of abdominal legs; some live on or among
