There are six syn types of this species at Cornell University and 
one at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. All, however, are 
females, of which one in the Cornell Collection is designated lecto- 
type. In addition to these examples, I have studied specimens from 
New York, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, Ken- 
tucky, Missouri, and Arkansas. 
The aedeagus of this species is rounded apically with a shallow, 
mesal excision, and the basolateral excisions are rather deep and wide. 
Male genitalia. — Anal plate tubular, scarcely constricted, but 
some variation in contours among examples; mesal face with short, 
black setae. Aedeagus scoop-like, slightly turned up basally; tip with 
a slight mesal excision, basolateral excision deep and about one-third 
length of aedeagus; central ridge well developed. 
Female genitalia. — Inseparable from that of N. angusticollis. 
Length of forewing. — Male (13 examples) 26 to 32 mm., ave. 
28.2 mm.; female (18 examples) 30 to 39 mm., ave. 35.4 mm. 
Lectotype, female (here designated). — “Cornell U. No. 815 sub.”

type Chauliodes concolor Davis By Flint 1965”.
