Noctuidae 
(4) Catocala subviridis Harvey, Plate XXXI, Fig. 4, $ . 
(The Faintly Green Underwing.) 
The insect has been by some writers regarded as a variety of 
the preceding species. It is characterized by larger size, and 
brighter colored fore wings, on which the maculation is much 
more distinct. In certain lights there is a pronounced greenish 
shade visible upon the wings. 
(5) Catocala lacrymosa Guenee, Plate XXXI, Fig. 6, S . 
(The Tearful Underwing.) 
Form paulina Henry Edwards, Plate XXXI, Fig. 12, $. 
(The Paulina Underwing.) 
Form evelina French, Plate XXXI, Fig. 9, ? . (The Evelina 
Underwing.) 
The range of this variable species is practically the same as 
that of the last mentioned. 
(6) Catocala viduata Guenee, Plate XXXI, Fig. 15, ? . (The 
Widowed Underwing.) 
Syn. maestosa Hulst; guenei Grote. 
The metropolis of this species appears to be the Gulf States. 
It is abundant in Texas. 
(7) Catocala vidua Abbot & Smith, Plate XXXI, Fig. 5, $ . 
(The Widow Underwing.) 
Syn. desperata Guenee. 
The insect ranges from Canada to Florida through the Appa¬ 
lachian subregion. 
(8) Catocala dejecta Strecker, Plate XXXII, Fig. 1, $. 
(The Dejected Underwing.) 
The species is found in the northern portions of the Atlantic 
subregion. 
Form Carolina subsp. nov . 3 Plate XXXII, Fig. 5, $ . (Carrie’s 
Underwing.) 
This insect, which occurs in western Pennsylvania, appears 
to be a form of dejecta, having the same relation to that species 
as that which is held by basalis to habilis . It is characterized by 
its smaller size, and by the black stripe which runs from the base 
of the wing to the apex, giving it quite a different facies from 
dejecta. The type is figured upon our plate, and it may from the 
illustration easily be recognized.
