Heliothis nuchalis Grote. 



This species is very near the European H. scuiosa, as I find from a 

 specimen of the latter in Mr. Graefs collection. As is the case with 

 armiger and dipsacea, the American representatives of which I have 

 described as umbrosus and phlogophagus, we have now a third species 

 nearly related to the European. At the same time extended and careful 

 comparisons of the American and European forms have not been entered 

 into as yet with any of these species of Heliothis.
