 Jones records a specimen taken in 1848 by Canon Tristram. I do 

 not know of any record of its recent capture, but that is of no great 

 importance as evidence, for the Bermudian insects have been little 

 studied in summer. It is native of the middle and southern United 

 States,

This delicate yellowish-brown butterfly has 4 to 6 oval, ocellated 

 spots of blackish, bordered with orange or pale, yellow, near the mar- 

 gin of each wing ; on the under side the spots mostly have a small 

 white center. Expanse of wings two inches. The larva feeds on 

 grasses ; it is green with two red processes on the head.

 The only common large sphinx. Its very large larva feeds on 

 the leaves of the sweet-potato and other species of Tpotnoea, and on 

 wild jasmine. Geddes says that it feeds also on Asimina triloba. 



* Mr. H. G. Dyar considers this a variety of the European species, convolvuli 

 (L.), and writes the name Phlegothontius convolvuli, rar. cingulatus.
