Noctuidae 
Genus EPIGL**£A Grote 
(1) Epiglsea pastillicans Morrison, Plate XXVI, Fig. 41, 6 . 
(The Round-loaf Sallow.) 
The species occurs from West Virginia to Maine, and west¬ 
ward to Ohio. 
(2) Epiglsea decliva Grote, Plate XXVI, Fig. 40, $ . (The 
Sloping Sallow.) 
Syn. deleta Grote. 
The moth occurs from Canada to Virginia, and westward to 
Illinois. 
Genus HOMOGL^A Morrison 
(1) Homoglsea hircina Morrison, Plate XXVI, Fig. 39, 3. 
(The Goat Sallow.) 
The habitat of this species is the northern part of our territory. 
It ranges from Alberta to Nova Scotia, and southward along the 
Alleghany Mountains into the Western part of North Carolina. 
(2) Homoglsea carbonaria Harvey, Plate XXV, Fig. 14, 9. 
(The Smudged Sallow.) 
The species ranges from Washington and Oregon eastward 
to Colorado. It has been located in the genus Euharveya , but 
this name is a synonym for Homoglcea , according to Prof. J. B. 
Smith, and accordingly sinks. 
Genus CALYMNIA Hubner 
(1) Calymnia orina Guenee, Plate XXVII, Fig. I, &. 
Syn. canescens Behr. 
This easily identified moth ranges over the entire temperate 
portion of the North American continent. The larva feeds upon 
oaks. 
Genus ZOTHECA Grote 
(1) Zotheca tranquila Grote, Plate XXVII, Fig. 2, $ . (The 
Western Elder Moth.) 
Syn. sambuci Behr; viridula Grote. 
The larva feeds upon elder (Sambucus). The moth ranges 
from northern California to British Columbia and eastward to 
Wyoming. The greener form was named viridula by Grote. 
The difference is hardly subspecific, as the shade of green on the 
wings is hardly alike in any two specimens, and the color soon 
fades out.
