 States. 



Genus ECTROPIS Hubner 



(1) Ectropis crepuscularia Denis & Schiffermuller, Plate 

 XLIV, Fig. 9, S . 



This species, which is found alike in Europe and America, 

 has an extensive synonymy, for a knowledge of which the student 

 may refer to Dyar's List or to Staudinger & Rebel's Catalogue. 

 The species is widely distributed throughout the continent of 

 North America. 



Genus EPIMECIS Hubner

Syn. hortaria Fabricius ; liriodendraria Abbot & Smith; disserptaria Walker; 

 amplaria Walker. 



The insect is found in the Appalachian subregion, but is far 

 more common in the South than in the North. I have taken it 

 in Pennsylvania on rare occasions, but it has been found in great 

 abundance by me in Florida.
