habitat has been erroneously stated by them to be London, Ont, owing 

 to their having received the moth from Mr. Saunders. (See page 10, 

 Vol. I., Can. Ent.) I have not met with the species since. 



SPHINGID^E. 



Amphion nessus, Cramer. Not uncommon. Jul}'. 



Deilephila chamoenerii, Harris. Very common some seasons, and 

 appears in June, at the time the lilac is in bloom, of which it is very fond. 

 A larva which, T think, produces this species, feeds on Fuschias, and on 

 Clarkia rosea. I took four of them this year on the latter plant in my 

 garden. They have changed to pupae just below the surface of the 

 ground. The caterpillars were of a dull olive green colour, with round 

 cream-coloured spots in a row on each side, and a red caudal horn. Its 

 native food-plant is unknown to me.* 



Otus chosrilus, Cramer. ( Darapsa choerilus). Rare. June. 



Sphinx chersis, Hubner. [Sphinx einerea, Harris). Rare. June or 

 July. 



Sphinx Kalm'uc. Abbott & Smith. Not uncommon. June or July. 1 

 have taken the larva on lilac, also on Fraxinus sambncifolia. 



Sphinx dfupiferarum, Abbott <!\: Smith. Not uncommon. June. 

 Larva taken last year on plum. 



Sphinx gordius , Cramer. Uncommon. June. 



Daremma undulosa, "Walker. Commonly known as Ceratomia repen- 

 tinus, Clemens. Not uncommon. June or July. (See Vol. L, Can. 

 Ent., page 17). 



Ceratomia amyntor, Hubner. {Ceratomia quadricomis Harris). For 

 two or three vears in succession I obtained the full grown larva of this 

 species, on the 25th and 26th August, from Basswood trees near the 

 Anglican Cathedral, Quebec, but have seen none for several seasons past.' 

 It appears in June, and may be considered rare. 



Ellema Ifarrisii, Clemens. I'ncommon. June or Jul}". 



Smerinthns modesta, Harris. Very rare. 



SmeHnthus exearatus, Abbott & Smith. Not uncommon. June or July. 



Smerinthns geminatas, Say. Not uncommon. June or July. 



AKCERIAD.K. 



Trochilium tipuliformis, Harris. Very common on red and black 

 currant. July. 



* The Editor mentions having captured this species at Sault Ste. Marie in middle 

 of August. (Page 83 of this volume.)
