128 



segments, remainder with one irregular, white, dorsal spot. 

 Anal horn recurved, slender, black ; below and on the 

 sides the larva is whitish, shaded to a very pale green on 

 the legs, with some irregular black marks. Pupa pale 

 brown. The larva is very singular. 



The other is a larger species, expanding four and one half 

 inches. Its superior wings are pale gray, with a slight 

 yellowish tinge. Immediately at the base, on the anterior 

 margin, is a small fuscous spot, and a little farther another, or 

 rather a very short striga. Then come three transverse, waved 

 strigaa, crossed by a long black dash. Three other similar 

 strigas are placed a little beyond the middle. In the disk is a 

 white round spot, below which is a second black streak. Two 

 similar black dashes cross the three posterior transverse strigas, 

 and at the apex is a third, descending towards the middle of the 

 wings. From this, a row of five short black dashes extends to 

 the inner margin, and close to the outer margin are five 

 X-shaped dusky marks. The posterior wings are pale fuscous, 

 with the nervures and three transverse fasciae darker. All the 

 cilia3 whitish, spotted with brown. Thorax gray, with the sides 

 and anterior margin marked with two dark lines, between 

 which anteriorly is a short transverse one ; behind are two 

 curved black lines margined with yellow. Abdomen gray, 

 with a central, and two lateral series of fuscous spots. Larva 

 whitish green, spiracles circled with red. Seven white lateral 

 streaks, caudal horn yellow. Pupa dark brown. I am sure I 

 found this larva in the West. 



Philampdiis vitis I have not got. P. satcllitia, one or two 

 specimens from New York. 



Chcerocampa pampinatrix; I have two specimens taken in 

 Florida and Wilmington, Del. Azalece and versicolor I have not. 

 Tersa belongs to a West Indian genus ; in Abbot's drawings is a 

 figure of a /Sphinx, I think of this genus, but there is no larva 

 to determine it. Its exp. alar, is 4|- ; length 2|. Upper wings 

 olive-green, with a subtriangular darker patch near the middle.
