About this title

Synopsis

Deltoid Moths of Boreal North America: A New Revision

This scholarly monograph revises the Deltoid group of moths in North America, presenting detailed descriptions, classifications, and measurements that help identify numerous species. Authored by John B. Smith in 1895, it draws on extensive collections and aims to clarify features that distinguish related genera and tribes within the Noctuidae.

This edition maps the scope of the work, outlining the key genera and the characters used to separate groups. It explains how palpi, antennae, wing patterns, and leg modifications relate to classification, and it provides structured sections that guide the reader through genus-by-genus analyses and species descriptions. The book also includes a historical context for this portion of the National Museum’s insect collections and the methods used in taxonomy at the time.

Clear definitions and scope for Deltoid moths
Genera and tribes analyzed with diagnostic characters
Descriptions and analyses of many species
A structured index of genera and a synopsis of divisions

Ideal for readers of historical entomology, museum catalogs, and taxonomic reference works seeking a precise, period-accurate study of Deltoid moths.
