Noctuidae 



Genus PLEONECTYPTERA Grote 



This is a genus of moderate size, which by some writers has 

 heretofore been placed among the Pyralidce, though it is 

 undoubtedly correctly located among the Noctuidce. Eight 

 species are credited to our fauna in the latest catalogue.

The insect ranges through the southern Atlantic States to 

 Central and South America.

A genus of moderate extent, embracing over a dozen species, 

 which are found within the United States.

 California.
