Noctuidae 
\ 
Genus GONODONTA Hubner 
This genus is representative of the tropical fauna of America, 
and but two species occur within our limits, both of them in the 
warmer parts of Florida. 
(i) Gonodonta unica Neumcegen, Plate XXVIII, Fig. io. $. 
The larval stages have been well described by Dyar in the 
“ Proceedings of the United States National Museum,” Vol. XXIII, 
p. 272. The caterpillar feeds on Anona laurifolia, the Custard- 
apple. 
Genus CALPE Treitschke 
The genus Calpe is found in the temperate regions of both 
hemispheres. Only one species occurs in America. 
(1) Calpe canadensis Bethune, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 8, ?. 
(The Canadian Calpe.) 
Syn. purpurascens Walker; sobria Walker. 
The range of this species is restricted to the colder portions 
of our territory. It is found in Canada, rarely in northern 
New York, and ranges westward to Alberta. 
Genus PANCHRYSIA Hlibner 
This genus, which is generally known under Walker’s name 
Deva, is better represented in the eastern hemisphere than in the 
western. We figure one species of the four credited to our fauna. 
(1) Panchrysia purpurigera Walker, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 
13/3. 
This pretty little moth, which is not very common, ranges 
from New England and Canada to Colorado and New Mexico. 
Genus POLYCHRYSIA Hlibner 
Two species, both of which we figure, are attributed to this 
genus as occurring within our territory. 
(1) Polychrysia moneta Fabricius, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 12, $ . 
Syn. trabea Smith. 
This is a European insect, which is found also in Alberta and 
Assiniboia. 
(2) Polychrysia formosa Grote, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 14, $ . 
So far, all the specimens which have come under the obser¬ 
vation of the writer have been taken in New England or in 
New York.
