THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 29 



two European and apparently four American species, one of which is 

 unknown to me ; of the other three, nupera is said to represent the 

 European vetnsta, although perhaps identical with it ,; cineritia has the 

 widest range, while both this and curvimacula are quite different from 

 either of the European forms. The representation of this tribe in Europe 

 is covered by the American forms. 



Tribe Cuculliini. 



The elongate wings are sharply pointed, the collar hood-shaped \ the 

 abdomen is tufted terminally and extends beyond the proportionately 

 small secondaries. The European species (43) greatly outnumber the 

 described American forms (rr). There are a large number of closely 

 related species in the European fauna, many of comparatively recent 

 detection. Perhaps more remain to be described in North America, 

 though it is probable that both this and the next tribe will show an excess 

 of European forms. The specific groups seem to be represented in 

 America. I du not know, however, liina^ which appears to be allied to 

 the European silvery forms. In addition we have a Californian species, 

 matricarice Behr. ( = serraticornis Lintr ), which has pectinated ^ 

 antennae ; I have doubted its being a true cucullia. 



Tribe Cleop/iani?ii. 



I have referred to Cleophana, two American species with hood- 

 shaped collar and the facies of Cucullia., but with a claw to the front 

 tibiee. The other European genera, Epimecia, Calopharia, I have not 

 recognized. Nyctophceata I believe to be a Heliothid form. 



Tribe Euteliini. 



In this tribe of smaller moths, the wings are more or less extended in 

 repose, in the American genus Marasinalus folded like a fan. The small 

 secondaries ally them to Cucullia. The antennae have a basal tuft ; the 

 collar cut out behind, not hood shaped ; the abdomen more or less tufted ; 

 the eyes naked. The American Ripogenus piilcherrimus, a rare moth, 

 seems to be related to the European Eutelia adulatrix.
