Noctuidae 
Genus PHEOCYMA Hubner 
(i) Pheocyma lucifera Hubner, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 5, 9 . 
Syn. lineola Walker. 
Found in the Appalachian subregion. 
Genus YPSIA Guenee 
(1) Ypsia undularis Drury, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 6, 9. 
The moth occurs from Canada to Florida and westward to 
Colorado. 
Genus PSEUDANTHRACIA Grote 
(1) Pseudanthracia coracias Guenee, Plate XXXVII, 
Fig. 7 > $ • 
The insect, which is far from common in collections, has 
practically the same range as the preceding species, of which it 
appears at first glance to be a miniature reproduction. 
Genus HOMOPTERA Boisduval 
This is quite an extensive genus, species of which occur both 
in the Old World and the New. Some twenty or more so-called 
species are attributed to our fauna, but several of these will no 
doubt prove to be mere varieties or local races of others. We 
give figures of three of the commoner forms in our plates. 
(1) Homoptera lunata Drury, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 15, $. 
Form edusa Drury, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 16, $ . 
Syn. putrescens Guenee; scmndersi Bethune; viridans Walker; involuta 
Walker. 
Almost universally distributed throughout the United States 
and Canada. 
(2) Homoptera cingulifera Walker, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 17, 9 . 
Syn. intenta Walker; woodi Grote. 
The moth occurs from Massachusetts to Florida and westward 
to the region of the Great Plains. 
(3) Homoptera unilineata Grote, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 14, 9 . 
The insect ranges from eastern Canada to the Carolinas and 
westward to the Mississippi. It appears to be quite common in 
eastern Massachusetts. The specimen figured on the plate was 
taken at Magnolia, Massachusetts.
