Basal costal swelling of male inconspicuous above, the fovea beneath

SPECIES OCCURRING IN THE UNITED STATES 



Alabama argillacea Hiibner. 



Well known to occur in the United States as flights of moths in the 

 fall, reaching Canada (Port Hope, Ontario, Bethune), but the extent of 

 its breeding here has probably been exaggerated, the larvae having no 

 doubt been confused. There are specimens bred from cotton before me 



*This is the genirive plural of the Latin word doctor. Bibliographers will please 

 not "emend" it into doctoria, which v/ould spoil the sense. It is given in commemora- 

 tion of the able (?) manner in which this species was identified by the doctors.
