The Taeniocampas form one of the most 

 elaborate and interesting groups, inasmuch as they present 

 a variety of forms that is quite unequalled in any other 

 genus of the Noctuidce, and yet to a large extent it is 

 evident they are closely allied. The juxta is well developed 

 in all the species, but takes a most exaggerated form in 

 gothica.

Harpe without corona ; cucullus antler form ; the 

 clasper is cornucopia shaped, from the mouth of which

 irregularly rounded ; ampulla curled at the tip and 

 flattened; the sacculus is produced on the inner edge, into
