Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States 523 



2. T. lugubris Boisduval. Black, with translucent white markings; pale patches 

 on teguhe; two or three white bars on body; a hyaline patch below the cell on fore 

 wing, as well as the one in the cell, often fused with it; hind wing with a broad 

 median fascia; and a very irregular series of subterminal white spots, one opposite 

 the cell of the fore wing largest. 15-23 mm. (H 47:31.) 



June. Larva on grape. 



Southern States, north to Ithaca, New York. New York: Ithaca (Eyer), Karner, 

 Bronxville, Staten Island; Brooklyn, and Wading River, Long Island. 



2. DY80DEA Clemens 

 (Thyris, in part; Platythyris Grote) 



Similar to Thyris. R 2 and R 3 of fore wing at least somewhat approximate; Sc 

 and R of hind wing anastomosing (fig. 195). Larva with adfrontals wider toward 

 the top. 



1. D. oculatana Clemens. Yellow, reticulate with brown, with antemedial, post- 

 medial, and subterminal darker brown bands. Transparent discal spot small and 

 rather triangular. Hind wing similar, less obviously banded, with a large, lunate, 

 discal spot. 20 mm. (fasciata Grote and Robinson). (H 3:10.) 



The moth flies early in July. The larva appears to be a rather general feeder 

 and lives in a dirty and foul-smelling nest. It has once or twice proved injurious 

 by eating into beans, and is easily recognized by its smell. 



The distribution seems' general but I have very few records. 



Pennsylvania ; West Virginia ; and southern Canada. 



2. D. vitrina Guenee. Brown, with reddish areas near outer margin and on hind 

 wing only. Transparent spots as in D. oculatana. 



Larva a stem borer and leaf roller on beans. 



Georgia. 



This species or form appears not to have been taken since its original description. 



Family 33. PYRALIDIDiE 



(Snout moths) 



Hind wing never divided into three or six feathers; divided in two 

 in a single Australasian genus. Fore wing entire, except in the same 

 genus. Fore wing with 1st A usually lost. Hind wing without special 

 scaling along Cu beneath. Larva with primary setee, and moder- 

 ately developed prolegs; with bi- or triordinal hooks except in the 

 Chrysaugina;. 



In the subfamilies Glaphyriime, Pyraustinaa, Nymphulinas, Scopa- 

 rinas, Crambinas, Anerastiinas, and Phycitinas, the antennal socket is 

 normally separated from the eye by a row of scales ; in the Pyralidime, 

 Epipaschiinae and a few others, they are normally in contact. 



The Pyralididaa are second largest of the families of Lepidoptera, 

 totalling about 10,000 species. The subfamily Pyraustinas is predom- 

 inantly tropical, the PhycitinaB mostly in the temperate zone. The 

 Chrysaugime and MacrothecinEe are practically confined to the New 

 World, while the Endotri china? and several small groups are almost 

 confined to the Old World.
