Noctuidss 



Genus EPIGL.EA Grote 



(i) Epiglsea pastillicans Morrison, Plate XXVI, Fig. 41, 4. 

 (The Round-loaf Sallow.) 



The species occurs from West Virginia to Maine, and west- 

 ward to Ohio. 



(2) Epiglsea decliva Grote, Plate XXVI, Fig. 40, 6 . (The 

 Sloping Sallow.)

 Illinois. 



Genus HGMOGL^EA Morrison 



(1) Homoglaea hircina Morrison, Plate XXVI, Fig. 39, $, 

 (The Goat Sallow.) 



The habitat of this species is the northern part of our territory. 

 It ranges from Alberta to Nova Scotia, and southward along the 

 Alleghany Mountains into the Western part of North Carolina. 



(2) Homoglaea carbonaria Harvey, Plate XXV, Fig. 14, 9. 

 (The Smudged Sallow.) 



The species ranges from Washington and Oregon eastward 

 to Colorado. It has been located in the genus Euharveya, but 

 this name is a synonym for Homoglcea, according to Prof. J. B. 

 Smith, and accordingly sinks. 



Genus CALYMNIA Hubner 

 (1) Calymnia orina Guenee, Plate XXVII, Fig. I, &. 



Syn. canescens Behr. 



This easily identified moth ranges over the entire temperate 

 portion of the North American continent. The larva feeds upon 

 oaks. 



Genus ZOTHECA Grote 



(1) Zotheca tranquila Grote, Plate XXVII, Fig. 2, 3 . (The 

 Western Elder Moth.) 



Syn. sambuci Behr; viridula Grote. 



The larva feeds upon elder (Sambiicus). The moth ranges 

 from northern California to British Columbia and eastward to 

 Wyoming. The greener form was named viridula by Grote. 

 The difference is hardly subspecific, as the shade of green on the 

 wings is hardly alike in any two specimens, and the color soon 

 fades out.
