Arctiidae 



Genus DODIA Dyar 



Only one species has thus far been assigned to this genus. 

 It was named Dodia albertse by Dr. Dyar in the year 1901. 



The description both of the genus 

 and the species will be found in the 

 Journal of the New York Entomologi- 

 cal Society, Vol. IX, p. 83. The an- 

 nexed cut (Fig. 58) is taken from 



the type of the species in the United

States National Museum. The in- ^

Genus UTETHEISA Hubner 



A genus of small extent, represented both in the Old 

 World and the New by nine species, two of which occur 

 within our territory. 



(i) Utetheisa bella Linnaeus, Plate XV, Fig. 27, ?. (The 

 Beautiful Utetheisa.) 



Syn. hyhrida 'Bxi.tler; intermedia Butler; tenninalis Neumoegen & Dyar. 



This common moth, which frequents the blossoms of the 

 golden-rod (Solidago) in the late summer and fall, is widely 

 distributed in the States of the Atlantic seaboard, and shows 

 some tendency to local variation. 



(2) Utetheisa ornatrix Linnaeus, Plate XVII, Fig. 8, $ . 

 (The Ornamented Utetheisa.) 



Syn. stretchi Butler; pura Butler. 



This species may easily be distinguished from the preceding 

 by the washed-out appearance of the primaries. In the form 

 named piira by Butler the fore wings are white, immaculate, 

 except for the red costal streak. The species is common in the 

 Antilles, and occurs in southern Florida. 



Genus HAPLOA Hubner 



The genus Haploa, which is confined to our territory, has 

 furnished a great deal of amusement to classificationists, who 

 have busied themselves with the spots and markings on the 

 wings of the species, which are very variable. In a long 

 series of specimens of any one of the species it will be found
