(7) Pyrausta insequalis Guenee, Plate XLVII, Fig. 41,6. 



Syn. subsequalis Guenee ; madetesalis Walker ; ■/■eplctalis Walker ; efficitalis 

 Walker, 



The species inhabits the Appalachian subregion. 



(8) Pyrausta ochosalis Fitch, MS., Plate XLVII, Fig. 57, 5 . 

 This species, which is not at ail uncommon in Pennsylvania, 



is in many collections confounded with P. generosa Grote & 

 Robinson, which it resembles in a general way. The insect is 

 prevalently smaller than the latter species, and the markings are 

 different. The species has been correctly discriminated in the 

 collection of the United States National Museum from P. generosa, 

 and the name applied to it in manuscript by Fitch is there given 

 it. I have used this nam^e in designation of the species.
