Noctuidae 
(3) Caradrina spilomela Walker, Plate XIX, Fig. 28, <* . 
(The Convivial Rustic.) 
Syn. conviva Harvey. 
This is a neotropical species found all over the hotter parts 
of North and South America, and ranging northward into 
Arizona and Texas. 
(4) Caradrina extimia Walker, Plate XIX, Fig. 26, 2 . 
(The Civil Rustic.) 
Syn. civic a Grote. 
The moth occurs in Colorado and thence westward to the 
Pacific. 
(5) Caradrina punctivena Smith, Plate XIX, Fig. 27, 6 . 
(The Brown-streaked Rustic.) 
The identity of this insect with C. rufostriga Packard has 
been suggested as probable. Its habitat is Colorado, among the 
mountains, and Labrador. It no doubt occurs at intermediate 
points at suitable elevations. It is evidently a strictly boreal 
form. 
Genus PERIGEA Guenee 
This is a rather extensive genus, well represented in the 
warmer parts of the New World, and also occurring in the 
Eastern Hemisphere. Twenty-four species are credited to our 
fauna in the latest catalogue. We figure two of the commoner 
species, which have a wide range. 
(1) Perigea xanthioides Guenee, Plate XIX, Fig. 30, $. 
(The Red Groundling.) 
This is not a scarce species in the Appalachian Subregion. 
It is particularly abundant in southern Indiana and Kentucky, 
where I have obtained it in large numbers. 
(2) Perigea vecors Guenee, Plate XIX, Fig. 31, $. (The 
Dusky Groundling.) 
The distribution of this species is very much the same as that 
of the preceding. 
Genus OLXGIA Hubner 
Nine species belonging to this genus are credited to our 
territory, of which number three are selected for illustration. 
(1) Oligia festivoides Guenee, Plate XIX, Fig. 32, $. 
(The Festive Midget.) 
Syn. varia Walker.
