abdomen tapers more gradually and in this resembles Del- 

 lonche; tibiae not spinose, middle tibiae with one pair of 

 long, very unequal spurs, hind tibiae with two pair, all as 

 in Dt'iloHclte, than which this is wider winged, heavier, diffe- 

 ring by the cylindrical abdomen being armed on the hinder 

 edge of the segments. In some respects the typical genus 

 of the group; larvae on grape and Ampelopsis. 



Vitis. Drury. (Jiissieuae Hiibn., fasciatus Sulz). A 

 handsome species with bright olive green primaries, displaying 

 a pale flesh colored stripe from apex to middle of the base 

 and crossed by a similar one from middle of hinder margin 

 to outer fourth of costa ; hindwings rose red within, inter- 

 rupted by whitish green hairs separating the rose red outer 

 band, which is margined within by a black band; the rose 

 colored terminal band is ended by a quadrate brown spot 

 and distinguishes the present species. Larva on the grape. 

 Rare in the North in June-July. 



Liimci. G. a. R. This species, found only in the 

 South, has been confounded with the foregoing by a number 

 of writers and the synonymy became embroiled in consequence, 

 until we figured and described it. Dark olive green, more 

 robust than Vitis; the bands on anterior wings are mixed 

 with white ; the V-shaped space on internal margin large 

 and not enclosed on margin. Hindwings green ; a large 

 rose-colored space on anal angle and along internal margin ; 

 a large black spot within ; two narrow median lines ; a broad 

 subterminal black band ; terminal space narrow, dull ochrey, 

 nowhere pink and thus unlike Vitis. Both these forms are 

 common in West Indies and South America where they feed 

 on grape; the present is figured by Cramer under the name 

 Vitis; but Drury, the Wiener Verzeichniss, Abbot & Smith 

 and others sufficiently show what species is properly included 

 under this title. Rare, in Southern States. 



Posticatus. Grote. Only reported from Florida. 

 Differs from Satellitia by its narrower shape and straighter 

 external margin of the wings. Hindwings with a large 

 roseate spot on internal margin covering anal angle; a
