Noctuidae 



(3) Caradrina spilomela Walker, Plate XIX, Fig. 28, 6 . 

 (The Convivial Rustic.) 



Syn. conviva Harvey. 



This is a neotropical species found all over the hotter parts 

 of North and South America, and ranging northward into 

 Arizona and Texas. 



(4) Caradrina extimia Walker, Plate XIX, Fig. 26, <* . 

 (The Civil Rustic.) 



Syn. civica Grote. 



The moth occurs in Colorado and thence westward to the 

 Pacific. 



(5) Caradrina punctivena Smith, Plate XIX, Fig. 27, $ . 

 (The Brown-streaked Rustic.) 



The identity of this insect with C. rufostriga Packard has 

 been suggested as probable. Its habitat is Colorado, among the 

 mountains, and Labrador. It no doubt occurs at intermediate 

 points at suitable elevations. It is evidently a strictly boreal 

 form. 



Genus PERIGEA Guenee 



This is a rather extensive genus, well represented in the 

 warmer parts of the New World, and also occurring in the 

 Eastern Hemisphere. Twenty-four species are credited to our 

 fauna in the latest catalogue. We figure two of the commoner 

 species, which have a wide range. 



(1) Perigea xanthioides Guenee, Plate XIX, Fig. 30, $ . 

 (The Red Groundling.) 



This is not a scarce species in the Appalachian Subregion. 

 It is particularly abundant in southern Indiana and Kentucky, 

 where 1 have obtained it in large numbers. 



(2) Perigea vecors Guenee, Plate XIX, Fig. 31, ?. (The 

 Dusky Groundling.) 



The distribution of this species is very much the same as that 

 of the preceding. 



Genus OLIGIA Hubner 



Nine species belonging to this genus are credited to our 



territory, of which number three are selected for illustration.
