172 ENTOMOLOGICAL NE\VS [April, '09 



Atrytonc zabnlon, Boisd. & Lee., form pocahontas, Scud. One speci- 

 men taken. 



HETEROCERA. 



Protoparce sexto, (Johanssen). Very common at stramonium blos- 

 soms at twilight and at light at night. 



Protoparce qninqueiiiaculatus (Haworth). Not common. 



Hyloictis chersis (Hubn.). Not common. 



Sphinx jamaicensis form geminatus (Say). Fairly common. 



Pachysphinx modes ta (Har.). Not common. 



Cressonia juglandis (Ab. & Sm.). Not common. 



Errinyis ello (Linn.). A perfect $ was found on the ground, stupe- 

 fied with cold, on October 5, 1907. 



Haemorrhagia thysbe (Fab.). Not uncommon. 



Haemorrhagia thysbe (Fab.) form cimbiciformis (S'teph.). Not 

 uncommon. 



Pholus pandorus (Hub.). Not uncommon. 



Darapsa myron (Cramer). Several taken at light. 



Samia ceropia (Linn.). Very common. On May 17, 1907, while 

 wading a swamp for birds' eggs, I saw at least one hundred and fifty 

 cocoons of this species and several moths just out of the cocoon, on 

 the buttonwood bushes with which the swamp is overgrown. The 

 swamp is about one-fourth mile across and the water is from one 

 to three feet deep, and is the nesting place of a large colony of red- 

 winged blackbirds. King rails, Florida gallinules, least bitterns and 

 other aquatic birds nest in this swamp, and the fact that there were 

 so many cocoons would indicate that the larvae are evidently not 

 attacked much by this class of birds. 



Calosamia promethia (Drury). Not common. 



Actias luna (Linn.). Not uncommon. 



Telea polyphemus (Cramer). Common. 



Automeris io (Fab.). Common.

 taken among the grasses in a pasture field.
