Very important new moth paper!

[Don Lafontaine]

Tom,

As for the other species, Ferguson in 1985 moved proxima into the genus 
Notarctia Smith (missed in the 1983 list) and showed that not only was 
Notarctia proxima distinct from both Apantesis and Grammia, but also that 
"proxima" is actually two species and raised arizonensis from synonymy for 
the second one.

Ferguson DC (1985) Contribution toward reclassification of the world genera 
of the tribe Arctiini, Part 1 - Introduction and a revision of the 
Neoarctia-Grammia group (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae: Arctiinae). Entomography 3: 
181-275.
