from Harris' determination. Hiirris seems to have confused the two illustrations of Abbot, 

 and while he describes our largest species, which is most probably hastulifera of the Insects 

 of Georgia, he states it to be figured by Abbot and Smith as aceHs, which it certainly is not. 

 Harris may have been led to this by larval observations, which perhaps cannot always be 

 considered as correctly made by Abbot. In two instances — Phalaena angulosa, Plate 83, and 

 Phalaena amasia, Plate 90 — I have shown that Abbot has represented two distinct species on 

 one plate as from the same larva.

 broaden outwardly; the costal edge is produced at the shoulder, depressed centrally and is 

 again full toward the apices. The scales are strongly raised in ridges along the transverse
