List of Moths Observed at Raleigh, N. Carolina. 



By C. S. BRIMLEY. 



This list is based mainly on moths collected during the past 

 four years and is supplementary to the "List of Sphingidae, 

 Saturniidae, and Ceratocampidae," published by myself in 

 "Entomological News" for April 1904. 



About 130 species have been identified by Dr. H. G. Dyar 

 of the U. S. National Museum, and about half a dozen by Dr. 

 H. Skinner of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- 

 phia, to both of whom I am very much indebted for their kind- 

 ness in so doing. The remaining species comprising most of 

 the most conspicuous or commoner forms have been mainly 

 named by myself from Dr. Holland's Moth Book. 



A few species will be found with the remark, "Specimen in 

 State Museum, no date." All these were collected by myself 

 at Raleigh, before my friend Prof. Sherman had initiated me 

 into the mysteries of how to properly label a bug. The nomen- 

 clature and sequence is that of Dr. Dyar's check list.

 22, 1906, and Mr. Woglum took one four days later.
