438 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



E. opella Grt. Greenwood Lake, larvae hiding by day in the dead leaves 

 of oak woods (Dyar) ; Lake Hopatcong (Pm) ; Ft. Lee VI, 20 (Dke) ; 

 Jamesburg VII, 4 (Lt); Lakehurst VII (Ds). The form "nigricans" 

 Reak., is reported from Plainfield in early July (Bz). 



E. immaculata Reak. Paterson VI, 1-11 (Gr) ; throughout the northern 

 part of the State; in dry places in overgrown fields (Bt). 



E. aurantiaca Hbn. Throughout the State VI-IX, in dry, overgrown 

 fields. The larvae are general feeders; Mr. Grossbeck has found 

 them under stones in April, at Paterson, fed them on plantain, had 

 pupae V, 20 and adults VI, 1-6. Four varieties, "rubicundaria" Hbn., 

 "ferruginosa" Wlk., "brevicornis" Wlk., and "quinaria" Grt., are based 

 on the amount of black margin of secondaries, or the number of white 

 spots on the primaries. They seem to be more or less local, and only 

 one form may occur in one place, but on the other hand two or three 

 of them may be found at the same place on the same day. 



UTETHEISA Hbn. 



U. bella Linn. Common, late August to early October in low meadows 

 along the coast, and locally inland, throughout the State. The larva 

 feeds on cherry, elm, "Myrica," "Crotalaria," "Lespedeza," &c. 



var. hybrida Butler. Has the bands of primaries incomplete, the sec- 

 ondaries red. Paterson VIII, 7 (Gr) and generally, with the type. 



var. terminalis N. & D. Secondaries white. Occurs occasionally. 



var. nova N. & D. The pink is replaced by bright yellow. Little Falls 

 VIII, 7, 3 specimens (Gr). 



U. ornatrix Linn. Taken at Philadelphia and probably occurs in New 

 Jersey. 



HAPLOA Hbn. 



H. clymene Brown. Lake Hopatcong VIII, 15 (Gr) ; Andover VIII (Kr); 

 Ft. Lee (Bt) ; Staten Island VII, VIII (Ds) ; Newark (Soc); 5-mile 

 beach VII, 14-22 (Haim). 



H. lecontei Guer. Occurs locally throughout the State in one or the other 

 of its forms. "Lecontei" Guer. is the completely marked form, and 

 that is rare, as is also the immaculate form "vestalis" Pack. "Con- 

 finis" Wlk., in which only the oblique band is complete, and "mili- 

 taris" Harr., in which even that is broken, are the more abundant 

 types. 



The larvae of all the species are more or less general feeders and 

 hibernate in the partly grown condition. 



H. confusa Lyman. Fort Lee VII (Erb). 



H. triangularis Sm. Local, near Newark (Ang), VI, 12-30 (Bz) ; Has- 

 brouck Heights (Wrms). 



H. contigua Wlk. Sparta VII (Ds) ; Plainfield VII, 1-15 (Bz) ; Newark.
