gin ; a large rectangulai* black spot witliin ; two narrow median lines, 

 the inner — black, most distinct, and joining the large black spot at the 

 outer inferior angle, the outer — faint, glaucous, contiguous tosubterminal 

 band, bent before anal angle ; a broad subterminal black band, widest 

 at costa, narrowing to anal angle before which it is suddenly constricted ; 

 terminal space narrow, nowhere pinkish, dull ochraceous-testaceous ; 

 external margin more undulate than in P. oitis. 



This species may be quickly distinguished from P. iHtia, by the ab- 

 sence of the pink terminal space on posterior wings. I have endeavored 

 in the description of these latter to bring out the differences which arc 

 very palpable, and which sufficiently separate the two species. 



Two specimens, S and $ . Exp. % o.50, 9 '^-St) inches. Length of 

 body, S and 9 1.80 inch.

Philampelus STRENUUS, ( CJieerocampa streima. 3Ieuetries, En. 

 Corp. An. Mus. Ac. Sci. Petr. Ins. Lep. II, p. 132, Tab. 12, fig. 8, 1857) 

 from Hayti, is allied to P. fasciafus, and its position is plainly between 

 the latter and P. lycaon, mihi. Dr. Clemens has not noticed the Hay- 

 tian species in the '• Synopsis."

The synonymy of the present species is much embroiled. Our North- 

 ern species figured by Drury, PI. 29, fig. 1, and by Harris. Ins. Inj. 

 PI. 5, fig. 2, is specifically distinct from the Cuban species, and should 

 retain the name satellitia, being (vide Drury) the species intended by 

 Linnaeus. Mr. Walker has evidently called that species Pan<loni>>. 

 Hiibn., which name I regard as a synonym of P. satfUitia. 



Cramer's figure of Lycaon differs from the Cuban specimens before 

 me by the clouded patch on posterior wings before the apex, and by 

 the absence of the rose-colored spot at analani^le, in both of these cha- 

 racters resembling P. satellitia. But since the shape and markings of 

 the anterior wings are quite distinct from P. satellitia, and nearly cor- 

 respond with the Cuban species, and moreover as I infer from descrip- 

 tions that the roseate spot is inconstant, I am disposed to agree with 

 I)r, Herrich-Schajffer 1. c. that Cramer intended the West Indian species.
