Noctuidae 



Genus GONODONTA Hubner 



This genus is representative of the tropical fauna of America, 

 and but two species occur within our limits, both of them in the 

 warmer parts of Florida. 



(i) Gonodonta unica Neumcegen, Plate XXV1IJ, Fig. 10. $. 



The larval stages have been well described by Dyar in the 

 " Proceedings of the United States National Museum," Vol. XXIII, 

 p. 272. The caterpillar feeds on Anona laurifolia, the Custard- 

 apple. 



Genus CALPE Treitschke 



The genus Calpe is found in the temperate regions of both 

 hemispheres. Only one species occurs in America. 



(i) Calpe canadensis Bethune, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 8, ?. 

 (The Canadian Calpe.) 



Syn. purpurascens Walker; sobria Walker. 



The range of this species is restricted to the colder portions 

 of our territory. It is found in Canada, rarely in northern 

 New York, and ranges westward to Alberta. 



Genus PANCHRYSIA Hubner 

 This genus, which is generally known under Walker's name 



Deva, is better represented in the eastern hemisphere than in the' 



western. We figure one species of the four credited to our fauna, 

 (i) Panchrysia purpurigera Walker, Plate XX VIII, Fig. 



13,5. 



This pretty little moth, which is not very common, ranges 



from New England and Canada to Colorado and New Mexico. 



Genus POLYCHRYSIA Hubner 



Two species, both of which we figure, are attributed to this 

 genus as occurring within our territory. 



(1) Polychrysia moneta Fabricius, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 12, ? . 

 Syn. trabea Smith. 



This is a European insect, which is found also in Alberta and 

 Assiniboia. 



(2) Polychrysia formosa Grote, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 14, $ . 



So far, all the specimens which have come under the obser- 

 vation of the writer have been taken in New England or in 

 New York.
