568 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. [Vol.Yl. 



I have recently again catalogued tlie K. Am. Bomhycke (which pre- 

 cede the Nonfasciatce) in the pages of the ''Canadian Entomologist," 

 and either in this magazine or the "Bulletin of the U. S. Geol. Survey," 

 or in "Papilio," I have given lists of the principal genera of Nonfasciatce, 

 so that there is a good deal of material on hand for the issuance of the 

 New List of the Family. Such genera catalogued by me are, for in- 

 stance, Oncocnemis, Hadena, Mamestra, Folia, Agrotis, Flusia, GrapM- 

 pJiora, Uustrotia, Spragueia, TJialpochares, Tarache, etc. In the list of 

 Agrotis (Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. 6, p. 158) there should be a section sign 

 (§) after digna. This list, while as complete as I could make it, is not 

 intended as the best with regard to the arrangement of the species j the 

 only name I have been able to find omitted is pastoralis. 



l^OOTU^ Linn. 



NoNFASciAT^ Borkh. 



DICOPIN^. 



In this section are grouped genera with the head sunken, squamation 

 rough or thick, male antennse pectinate, legs unarmed except fore tibise, 

 which have a stout claw, eyes naked, labial palpi short, ocelli present. 

 The species appear usually early in the year; the chrysalis hibernates.

in Mr. Tepper's coll. ; it seems very close to Muralis, but I have not 



compared the two.
