plant. They were an inch in length ; color dull red, closely simulating 

 the bark of the branches ; and to more effectually conceal themselves by 

 mimicry, they hold on, when at rest, by their pro-legs only, the body 

 standing out like a short branch, or they hold to a leaf by their fore legs, 

 making their bodies appear like a petiole. 



The hemispherical head is red, with the edges along the fork of the 

 epicranial suture white ; the usual body stripes are represented by very 

 faint, white Jines ; there are also faint whitish spots on the sides of the 

 body. The spiracles are nearly round, situated on small black tubercles. 



The pupte formed under the leaves in the feeding cage, without cocoon. 

 They were rather stout, front rounded and smooth ; the last segment ends 

 in a rather long spine with terminal booklets. The surface of the abdom- 

 inal rings with small alveoli. Pupa, July 12 ; moth, July 25. 



A NEW PAMPHILA.

Pa7nphUa ?nyus, n sp. 



Male. — Expanse .95 of an inch. Upper surface dark olivaceous 

 brown, with a slight vinous reflection, about the same shade as cerfies, 

 which it much resembles. The primaries have the discal cell and the area 

 in front of the cell like cernes, heavily washed with yellow of a little darker 

 shade than that species, the same color extending beyond the cell along 

 the costal area three fourths the distance from the base to the outer mar- 

 gin (as the wings are spread) ; below the cell the same shade of yellow 

 extends along the median vein the same distance, the area below this to 

 the margin rather heavily sprinkled with yellow scales, except the space 

 beyond the lower half of the stigma. This varies but little from the yel- 

 low of cernes. In cernes there is a quadrate sinus of the terminal dark 

 brown of the wing dipping into the yellow beyond the cell, coming up to 

 the cross vein. In this species the sinus is of the same width, but extends 

 inward above the median vein, ending in a point half way to the base of 

 the wing. The stigma is black, narrow, oblique, entire, though constricted 

 below the middle, shorter than in cernes, does not reach the submedian 

 below, and the upper end only reaches the second branch of the median, 

 while in cernes it passes beyond this veinule, the lower third bent a little
