(7) Pyrausta insequalis Guenee, Plate XLV1I, Fig. 41,3. 



Syn. subsequalis Guenee; madetesalis Walker; repletalis Walker; efficitalis 

 Walker. 



The species inhabits the Appalachian subregion. 



(8) Pyrausta ochosalis Fitch, MS., Plate XLVII, Fig. 57, 3 . 

 This species, which is not at all uncommon in Pennsylvania, 



is in many collections confounded with P. generosa Grote & 

 Robinson, which it resembles in a general way. The insect is 

 prevalently smaller than the latter species, and the markings are 

 different. The species has been correctly discriminated in the 

 collection of the United States National Museum from P. generosa, 

 and the name applied to it in manuscript by Fitch is there given 

 it. I have used this name in designation of the species.

Syn. erosnealis Walker ; diffissa Grote & Robinson ; bellulalis Hulst.

 Ohio. 



(i i) Pyrausta funebris Strom, Plate XLVII, Fig. 50, <5 . 



Syn. octomaculata Linnseus ; glomeralis Walker. 



This pretty and distinctly marked species, which in the pat- 

 tern of its wings recalls the markings of the genus Alypia, is 

 found in the northern parts of temperate North America and in 

 Europe. 



(12) Pyrausta niveicilialis Grote, Plate XLVII, Fig. 42, ?. 



The moth is found from New England to western Pennsyl- 

 vania and the Valley of the Ohio as far west as southern Indiana.
