Genus SYNEDA Guenee 
Twenty-five species are attributed to this genus and indicated 
as having their habitat within the territory with which this book 
deals. It is possible that a final revision of the genus will lead to 
the discovery that some of the so-called species are merely local 
races or varietal forms of others. There is considerable dissimi¬ 
larity between the sexes in some of the species, and it may be 
that there is in this fact also an element of confusion. The species 
which are figured on the plates are such as are for the most part 
well known and the identification of which is certain. 
(1) Syneda graphica Hubner, Plate XXX, Fig. 30, $ . 
Syn. capticola Walker. 
The insect ranges from New York to Florida westward to the 
Alleghany Mountains. 
(2) Syneda divergens Behr, Plate XXX, Fig. 32, $ . 
The insect is western and has an ascertained range from Colo¬ 
rado to California. 
(3) Syneda alleni Grote, Plate XXX, Fig. 35, $ .

ward along the elevated table-lands of the continent to Colorado
