Dejected Underwing
The species is found in the northern portions of the Atlantic subregion.
Form Carolina subsp. nov., Plate XXXII, fig. 5, male. (Carrie's Underwing.)
This insect, which occurs in western Pennsylvania, appears to be a form of dejecta, having the same relation to that species as that which is held by basalis to habilis. It is characterized by its smaller size, and by the black stripe which runs from the base of the wing to the apex, giving it quite a different facies from dejecta. The type if figured upon our plate, and it may from the illustration easily be recognized.
