Notodontidae 

 (i) Notodonta basitriens Walker, Plate XL, Fig. 5, ?. 

 The moth is found in the Atlantic States. 

 (2) Notodonta simplaria Graef, Plate XL, Fig. 6, ? . 

 The moth, which is by no means common, occurs in the 

 northern portions of the Appalachian subregion. 



Genus PHEOSIA Hubner 



(1) Pheosia dimidiata Herrich-Schaeffer, Plate XL, Fig. 9, $ . 

 Syn. rimosa Packard ; californica Stretch. 



The moth, which is far from common, ranges from Canada and 

 New England westward to the region of the Rocky Mountains. 



(2) Pheosia portlandia Henry Edwards, Plate XL, Fig. 10, $ . 



Syn. descherei Neumcegcn. 



The species replaces in the northwestern States the form, 

 which has been described as dimidiata. Whether this is a valid 

 species or a local race of the preceding is a question which is 

 still open to discussion. 



Genus LOPHODONTA Packard 



(1) Lophodonta ferruginea Packard, Plate XL, Fig. 8, ? . 

 The moth is not rare in the Appalachian subregion. The 



caterpillar feeds upon the linden (Tilia). 



(2) Lophodonta angulosa Abbot & Smith, Plate XL, Fig. 

 15. 3. 



The insect is found in the same region as the last mentioned, 

 and its habits are very much the same. 



Genus EUNYSTALEA Grote 



(1) Eunystalea indiana Grote. 



This is one of the rarest insects of the family to which it 

 belongs. Besides the type, which the writer believes to be con- 

 tained in the collection of the 

 British Museum, there is only one 

 other specimen known, which is 

 found in the collection of Dr. 

 Barnes, to whom the author is 

 indebted for the privilege of being 

 allowed to make the cut which is 

 given herewith. The insect occurs 

 in Florida. $ . j.
