This comparatively small species is only known to me from Dr. Felder’s figure. 
Boisduval states (loc. cit.) that many examples were reared by M. E. Deyrolle, from 
whom he received specimens of both sexes.

Bombyx-Attacus io, Cramer, is quite distinct from Bombyz io, Fabr., and is, I believe, 
correctly placed in the genus Hyperchiria by Hiibner. 
This common species ranges over a very wide extent of country. I have a good series 
before me, the examples from Mexico being very much smaller than those from North 
America. A specimen from Bogota in my own collection agrees perfectly with others 
from North America. | 
The larva is figured by Abbot and Smith (Joc. cit.); it is said to feed on maize, 
dogwood (Cornus), sassafras, &c. 
As the two following species possibly inhabit our country, I think it best to include 
them :—

supposed to be from Mexico or Colombia.
