LOMANALTES Grote. 



L. eductalis Wlk. Bloomfield, VIII, 14 (Kp): occasional in other parts of 

 the State. 



PLATHYPENA Grote. 



P. scabra Fabr. Occurs everywhere from May to November. Mr. Broadwell 

 records a specimen under bark at Boonton, Dec. 24. The larva feeds 

 chiefly on clover. 



HYPENA Schrank. 



H. humuli Harr. Quite generally distributed and recorded as common at 

 Caldwell by Mr. Crane. The larva feeds on hop and where that is culti- 

 vated it is sometimes rather plentiful. 



It is more than likely that all the species that are distributed throughout the 

 Eastern United States will also occur in New Jersey ; but the moths are not 

 favorites with collectors, are difficult to secure in good specimens and hence not 

 so well represented as are some other families. 



Family NYCTEOLIDiE. 



Obscurely marked gray species, in habitus like some of the " bell moths " or 

 Tortricids. It has the main structural characters of the Lithosiids, but differs 

 in venation. 



NYCTEOLA Hbn. 



N. revayana Scop Newark in July (Soc) : larva on willow. The species is 

 not at all rare, but from its appearance is usually mistaken for a Tortricid. 



Family DRBPANIDiE. 



Moderate-sized, slender, broad-winged species, the forewings falcate, whence 

 they have been called hook-tips. The larvre have the anal pro-legs rudimentary 

 and the terminal segment prolonged into a tail like process.
