XV. On allied Species of Noctuidae inhabiting Europe 



and North America 



BY AUG. R. GROTE. 

 [Read before this Society/, October 21, 1874.] 



On page 22 of the Anniuil lieport of the Trustees of the Pea- 

 hocly Academy of Science for the year 1873, I presented in a tabu- 

 lar form the species of Noctuidae regarded as common to Europe 

 and North America, as well as those species nearly related, but 

 Avhich could be separated by character warranting distinctional des- 

 ignation. Subsequent investigations have added to and corrected 

 the tables then prepared, and I here offer the results of late scien- 

 tific enquiry on the subject.
