128 



segments, remainder with one irreoular, white, dorsal spot. 



Anal horn recurved, slender, black ; below and on the 



^!J^ sides the larva is whitish, shaded to a very pale green on 



the legs, with some irregular black marks. Pupa pale 



'^' ■ brown. The larva is very singular. 



The other is a larger species, expanding four and one half 

 inches. Its superior wings are pale gray, with a slight 

 yellowish tinge. Immediately at the base, on the anterior 

 margin, is a small fuscous spot, and a little farther another, or 

 rather a very short striga. Then come three transverse, waved 

 stvigae, crossed by a long black dash. Three other similar 

 strigas are placed a little beyond the middle. In the disk is a 

 white round spot, below which is a second black streak. Two 

 similar black dashes cross the three posterior transverse strigse, 

 and at the apex is a third, descending towards the middle of the 

 wino-s. From this, a row of five short black dashes extends to 

 the inner margin, and close to the outer margin are five 

 X-shaped dusky marks. The posterior wings are pale fuscous, 

 with the nervures and three transverse fascia? darker. All the 

 ciliae whitish, spotted with brown. Thorax gray, Avith the sides 

 and anterior marmn marked with two dark lines, between 

 which anteriorly is a short transverse one ; behind are two 

 curved black lines margined with yellow. Abdomen gray, 

 with a central, and two lateral series of fuscous spots. Larva 

 whitish green, spiracles circled with red. Seven white lateral 

 streaks, caudal horn yellow. Pupa dark brown. I am sure I 

 found this larva in the Weet. 



PliUampelus vitis I have not got. P. satelUtia, one or two 

 specimens from New York. 



Chcerocampa paminnatrix', I have two specimens taken in 

 Florida and Wilmington, Del. Azalcce and versicolor I have not. 

 Tersa belonixs to a West Indian ovnus ; in Abbot's drawings is a. 

 figure of a /Sphinx, I think of this genus, but there is no larva 

 to determine it. Its ex]). alar, is 4;| ; length 2|. U])iKn- wings 

 olive-green, with a subtriangular darker patch near the middle.
