Abstract

(excerpt)

The authors are to be commended for producing an extremely useful and thoroughly complete compilation of this fascinating but frequently ignored group of Lepidoptera. Itis, without a doubt, the finest state systematic check- list that this reviewer has previously read and one that will probably not be exceeded in the near future. This monograph, a systematic checklist of the owlet moths (Noctuidae) of Ohio, is the second monograph to present the lepidopterological results of a cooperative effort among the Ohio Biological Survey, the Ohio Lepidopterists, and the Ohio Department of Natural His- tory. It follows a very comprehensive survey of the state's butterfly fauna, "Butterflies and Skippers of Ohio", by David C. Iftner, John A. Shuey, and John V. Calhoun.
