Noctuidae 



Genus PHURYS Guene'e 



Six species occurring within our territory are given as belong- 

 ing to this genus in the latest list of the lepidoptera of North 

 America. Of these we illustrate two. 



(1) Phurys vinculum Guenee, Plate XXXVI, Fig. 12, $ . 

 The species occurs in the Gulf States and southward. 



(2) Phurys lima Guenee, Plate XXXVI, Fig 1 1, $. 



The range of this insect is the same as that of the preceding 

 species. It may be easily distinguished by the presence of the 

 small round dark dot near the base of the fore wings on the inner 

 margin. 



Genus CELIPTERA Guenee 

 (i) Celiptera frustulum Guenee, Plate XXXVI, Fig. 15, $. 



Syn. disci ssa Walker; elongatus Grote. 



The moth is found from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico east of 

 the Rocky Mountains. 



Genus ANTICARSIA Hubner 



Of the two species of the genus found within our limits we 

 give a figure of the one which most commonly occurs. 



(i) Anticarsia gemmatilis Hubner, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 

 10, $ . 



The moth is found through the valley of the Mississippi from 

 Wisconsin to Texas. 



Genus ANTIBLEMMA Hubner 



(i) Antiblemma inexacta Walker, Plate XXXVI, Fig. 23, 3 . 



Syn. canalis Grote. 



This is a variable insect, to which a number of subspecific 

 names have been given, based upon slight differences in the 

 markings of the wings. It is found in the Southern States, and 

 ranges thence to the southern portions of the South American 

 continent. 



Genus LITOPROSOPSUS Grote 



(i) Litoprosopsus futilis Grote & Robinson, Plate XXXVII, 

 Fig. 4, 6 . 



The insect occurs in Florida and Georgia and also in the 

 hotter portions of America.
