a band of same color within outer margin which changes 

 into lines and black spots towards the anal angle, there 

 being no roseate patches or bands as in other species and 

 as we see in the species of Deilepliila. Common. May to 

 August. Larva on grape, becoming brown at maturity, 

 when the caudal horn of its first stages is discarded. Mr. 

 Bunker of Eochester, N. Y., describes the larva and speaks 

 of the number of broods. 



Achemou. Drury. This species is pinkish gray with 

 lovely rich brown patches, much as the deep green ones in 

 Pandorns. Hind wings pinkish with a spotted, pinkish gray 

 border. Larva on Ampelopsis and grape. Common and 

 widely distributed. It is a curious fact that we have these 

 two colors brown and green represented in the larvae and 

 moths of so many species of Hawk Moths. This brown 

 Philampeliis has an ally in Mexico, and contrasts strongly 

 with the numerous green species of the genus in color. 



Subfamily Smerinthinae. 



Aiiglice: Eyed Hawk Moths. 



In this tribe the larvae have a cordate head and granu- 

 lated appearance; the moths have the head usually impromi- 

 nent ; tongue short and membranous ; the body clumsy and 

 the flight heavy and nocturnal; the typical genera have 

 ocellated hindwings. The typical genus SmerintJms is con- 

 fined to the West coast. Food plants, in preference, Eosaceae. 



Calasymbolus. Grote. 



Head small and sunken, more or less tufted between the 

 antennae, in some species marked like a ridge; labial palpi 

 short; segments of abdomen and tibiae unarmed. Forewings 

 with the external margin even and more or less angulated 

 not dentated.
