study, and to note my full concurrence in their views. It will be as 

 well to note, however, that as a rule the German entomologists do 

 not agree in the results of this study. Maassen's criticisms in Stett. 

 Ent. Zeit. 1880, v. 41, p. 58, being quite rabid.

Smaller, and the maculation more sharply defined than in linnei ; the i)rima- 

 ries are narrower and more acute, the outer margin scarcely rounded. The 

 maculation is essentially like that of linnei, but the colors are deeper, and the 

 contrasts, therefore, greater. There is less suffusion, and the bands are more 

 rigid> The secondaries show greater differences; they are dull pale greenish 

 inwardly. Along the external margin, from costal angle to the medio -posterior 

 uervule, is a broad, terminal, pink band, within which a broad black fascia, in- 

 terrupted by greenish scales on the nervules and terminating below medio-pos- 

 terior nervule in two narrow lines, outside of which latter is a brownish square 

 space above anal angle. Internal margin and anal angle largely pink ; two large 

 black dots below the disc, merely separated by a few pink scales ; a few white 

 scales within the terminal black lines above anal angle. Expands 3 — 4. 25 in.; 

 75—106 mm. 



Hab. — Florida, Texas, along Atlantic coast to Massachusetts, 

 South and Central America, Cuba. 



The genitalia of the S are essentially like those of pandoms, save 

 that the clasper is slenderer and more curved. 



As with linnei, this species shows comparatively little variation. 

 There is the usual tendency to fade, which will account for most of 

 the apparent differences. The bands on this species are much more
