THE NOCTUID MOTHS OF THE GENERA PALINDIA AND

DYO]\IYX.

By Harrison

G.

Dyar,

Custodian of Lepidoptera, United States NationalMuseum.

These strikingly colored Noctuids have long been favorites with collectors.

They

arebest

known

underthe

name

PalindiaofGuenee.

The

DyowAjx have beengenerally associated withthe Palindia,

and

are apparently allied.

Dyomyx

has a verylong

thhd

joint to the palpiandpresentsnoneofthe modificationsof the

hmd

tibiseofthe male, so general in Palindia.

Some

of the species have been fre- quently interchanged between the genera.

The

firstspecies ofPalindia

made known

were

by

Cramer, under the general termsPhals&na Noctua andPhalsena Geometra. Hiibner ranged

them m

^{two genera,} Eulepidotis and Phrygionis.

The

type ofthelatterisgenerallyconsideredto becuUariaHiibner (

=

politata StoU, not poUtia Cramer), the first species, a Geometrid. Of the former, the typeis ilyriasCramer, thefirstspecies,fixed

by

Butler (1892), a Palindia. Guenee next established PalindiaandDyojnyx.

Walker

made

no

new

generain thisgroup. Butler divided Palindia in threepai'ts, using Eulepidotis for the green ones, Palindia for the white ones, and Phrygionis for the yellowones.

Bar

placed

them

allinPalindia,included

Dyomyx

as closely related,ifnota sub- genus, but separated the species with curved outer ^lineunder the

name

Calydia.

The

species will be treated here as done

by Guenee

under two names, but it will be necessary to substitute the older Eulepidotis forPalindia.

Threespecieshave beenreportedintheUnitedStates, Eulepidotis dominicataGuenee fromsouthern Texas,whereit

may

even beestab- lished, E.miccaDruce, recently reportedfrom Texas by Barnes

and McDunnough, and Dyomyx

merricki Holland from Pennsylvania, whereit

was

probablyaccidentallyimportedontropicalfruit.

Nothingis

known

of thelarvaeor lifehistoryof

any

ofthe rather numerousspecies.

One

hundredandthree species arehereconsidered of Eulepidotisand twentyofDyomyx.
