Abstract
The collection here reported upon was identified and descriptions of new forms written several months ago, completion of the report being delayed by lack of time to trace out a few loose ends. As a new revision of the genus Erythroneura is under way it is thought best to put on record now these Illinois data. The Eupterygidae were long a favorite group with the late Charles A. Hart, who substantially assisted Gillette's revision (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 20, 1898, pp. 750-773) with loans of material. He had sorted subsequent collections of the State Natural History Survey and had invented manuscript names for most of the undescribed forms. A number of these were independently named in the Key to the Nearetic Species and Varieties of Erythroneura by the writer, who did not have Hart's material at hand at the time.
