Noctuidae 



Genus PHEOCYMA Hubner 



(i) Pheocyma lucifera Hubner, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 5, ?. 

 Syn. lineola Walker. 



Found in the Appalachian subregion. 



Genus YPSIA Guenee 



(i) Ypsia undularis Drury, Plate XXXVI 1, Fig. 6, ? . 

 The moth occurs from Canada to Florida and westward to 

 Colorado. 



Genus PSEUDANTHRACIA Grote 



(i) Pseudanthracia coracias Guenee, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 



7> ? 



The insect, which is far from common in collections, has 

 practically the same range as the preceding species, of which it 

 appears at first glance to be a miniature reproduction. 



Genus HOMOPTERA Boisduval 



This is quite an extensive genus, species of which occur both 

 in the Old World and the New. Some twenty or more so-called 

 species are attributed to our fauna, but several of these will no 

 doubt prove to be mere varieties or local races of others. We 

 give figures of three of the commoner forms in our plates. 



(1) Homoptera lunata Drury, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 15, 6 . 

 Form edusa Drury, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 16, $ . 



Syn. putrescens Guenee; saundersi Bethune; viridans Walker; involuta 

 Walker. 



Almost universally distributed throughout the United States 

 and Canada. 



(2) Homoptera cingulifera Walker, Plate XXXVII, Fig. 17, ? . 



Syn. intenta Walker; woodi Grote. 



The moth occurs from Massachusetts to Florida and westward 

 to the region of the Great Plains. 



(3) Homoptera unilineata Grote, Plate XXXVI I, Fig. 14, ? . 

 The insect ranges from eastern Canada to the Carolinas and 



westward to the Mississippi. It appears to be quite common in 

 eastern Massachusetts. The specimen figured on the plate was 

 taken at Magnolia, Massachusetts.
