35. Also sometimes known as Gortyna or Ochria. Biiffaloensis 

 (=latia) is our only species. 



36. The typical group does not occur in this country. I have 

 used the name here to include dejecta, orphnina, rufostriga, panatela, 

 and inquinata, with its probable varieties variana and orientalis. 

 These have been variously distributed, but all are strigose marsh 

 species, with a good deal in common. The first two will run out 

 here, agreeing in structure with Hampson's characterization of 

 Cccnobia rather than Arcnostola, where he places them with ^. 

 inquinata. He makes rufostriga, type of Hypoca^na. Smith puts 

 dejecta in Senta, inquinata in Tapinostola and panatela in Erastria. 

 Rujostriga has been considered a Caradrina, and a Leucania. 



37. Hardly worth separating from Bellura. 



38. Anchocelis. 



39. Because of their intermediate position the Hypenini have been 

 run out on both sides. Hormoschista, by the way, is very near 

 Hypcna. 



40. Dyar divides the genus as follows: 



Palpi with a loose tuft on under side of tip of second Joint, very long, with 

 third joint two-thirds as long as second, wings narrow .... Eosphoropleryx. 

 Palpi merely rough-scaled below, shorter or without tuft on second joint, wings 

 broader. 

 Palpi exceeding vertex most of the length of the long third joint. 



Wings subfalcate Panchrysia. 



Wings rounded or with rectangular apex Polychrysia. 



Palpi with only tip of third joint beyond vertex, often clavate. 

 Eyes much narrower than front, hind wing normally yellow, 



Syngrapha. 

 Eyes usually the width of the front, hind wings rarely yellow. 



Fore wing falcate, bent at middle and concave on upper half 



of outer margin Plusia. 



Fore wing with apex merely rectangular, and even, evenly curved 



outer margin, caterpillars internal feeders Euchalcia. 



Fore wing with extreme apex rectangular or rounded, outer 

 margin crenulate Autographa. 



41. Aurantiago. 



42. Carnosa. 



43. Scricca and pasfillicans with its pink variety trcmnla. The 

 two former can be distinguished, I believe, by the fine pale line on
