Noctuidae 
ence for the cereals. It does considerable damage to garden 
crops, and attacks cotton. It is said to inflict damage upon 
winter wheat, blue-grass, and timothy. The moth is variable in 
its markings. The typical form is represented on Plate XX, and 
by the upper figure in the annexed cut. It has frequently been 
mistaken by observers for the true Army Worm ( Leucania uni- 
puncta ). Because its ravages are generally committed in the fall 
of the year it was named The Fall Army Worm by the late 
Prof. C. V. Riley. A very excellent account of the insect is given 
by this distinguished authority in the “Eighth Annual Report” 
of the State Entomologist of Missouri, p. 48, et seq., which the 
student will do well to consult. It is from this article that 
the two accompanying figures have been taken.
