	I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with or knows of 
published info. on the ecology or life history of any of the following 
macro moth species OTHER THAN THAT in: Covell '84, Tietz '72, Rings et al 
'92, the McGuffin series and a series of articles on Spilosoma congrua 
by Bowers and Stamp.
	I have done a literature search, but I found next to nothing, 
because I expect there is little or nothing on some of these species. Can 
anyone help?  The list of species is:

NOCTUIDAE: Orthodes cynica, Callopistra cordata, Protorthodes oviduca, 
Idia americalis, Lasionycta albinuda, Polia detracta, Polia purpurrisata, 
Eurois astricta, Eueretagrotis attenta, Xestia normaniana, Drasteria 
adumbrata, Acronicta innotata, Heptagrotis phyllophora, Zanclognatha 
jacchusalis

GEOMETRIDAE: Petrophora subaequaria, Homochlodes fritillaria, Cyclophora 
pendulinaria, Nemoria rubrifrontaria, Antepione thisoaria, Semiothisa 
neptaria, Tacparia detersata.

ARCTIIDAE: Spilosoma congrua
SPHINGIDAE: Sphinx gordius
NOTODONTIDAE: Peridea ferruginea

Thank you, and sorry for cross-postings.
