is quoted by Dr. Clemens as saying, "the pupa is represented without 

 the detached tongue-case." Now in fact, the pupa has no external tongue- 

 case at all, such as is so noticeable in Amphonyx Antceus, Protoparce 

 Rustica, in the other species of Protoparce, and to a less degree in those 

 of Diludia. The pupa of Pseud. Tetrio, of which I possess several ex- 

 amples through the kindness of my friend, Wm. Schaus, Esq., jr., is as 

 follows : Pitchy, cylindrical, tapering a little from the junction of the 

 thorax and the head, and more abruptly from the 8th abdominal segment 

 to the tip. It is swollen on the thorax and on the eye cases, while the 

 head is distinctly rounded in front. The covers of the antennae and the 

 wing bases are slightly marked with transverse corrugations. In the 

 earlier stages of the pupa it has a paler tint, and is marked with some 

 black transverse bands on the upper abdominal segments, which, however, 

 are lost in the ground color as the pupa assumes with age a darker shade. 

 The pupa most nearly resembles that of the genus Philampelus. Length 

 65 mm.; width of head, n mm. ; width of middle of abdomen, 16 mm. 



Philampelus Typhon, Klug. 



" Cinereous, reddish beneath. Palpi red. Thorax with two dark 

 brown abbreviated stripes. Abdomen with dark brown bands, red on the 

 sides. Anterior wings glaucescent and testaceous mixed, with several 

 blackish-brown sub-trigonate patches. Posterior wings red, with a den- 

 ticulated band, black, varied with glaucescent, with the exterior margin 

 brown, and the cilia white." — Clemens. 



This grand insect, of which a specimen taken by the late H. K. Mor- 

 rison is now in the collection of B. Neumoegen, Esq., is in some respects 

 closely allied to P. Achemon Drury, but is larger in size, and altogether 

 richer and darker in color, while the markings are more diffused, and in 

 stronger contrast to the ground color of the wings. A fair figure of it is 

 given in " N. Amer. Lepidoptera," Sphingidae, pi. 11, by Weidemeyer, 

 Calverley & Edwards, while that by Klug in " Neus Schmett," pi. 3, is 

 remarkable for its accuracy and fidelity to color. Mr, Neumoegen's ex- 

 ample was taken in N. E. Arizona. 



Syntomeida Epilaris, Walk. 



Wings, thorax and abdomen bluish black, with a metallic lustre. The 

 primaries have five white spots each, one small at base of costa, one in 

 middle of wing near to basal third, one half way on costa, one smaller a
