This interesting species may he known hy the outer line being bent at 

 rio^ht angles nnich n(nuer tlie middle of the wing tlian in HemerophUa unUaria, 

 in which the l)end is remarkably acute very near the apex, while the wings 

 are clear, not b(.)rdered with brt)wn. 



Larva, — "The caterpiHar lives on Smilax rodmdifo/ia and laurifolia, and, 

 according to Abbot, on Qucrctts. It is also figured on a design of Eliexia ciliosa. 

 It is of the same color as the moth, of an ash-gray wasiied with brown, with 

 a dorsal series of white lozenge-s, lined with black and traversed in their 

 middle l)v a twin, interrupted black vascular line. On each side of the 

 lozenge is a black spot, and tlie first ring wants the lozenge and is traversed 

 by a single continuous black vascular line. It is found in March and April, 

 and the moth remains in the chrysalis nntil ()ctol)er." — Gucnee.

1 9 . — This is one of the largest species of Phal?enids. The head is 

 smaller, less full above and in front; the apex of the fore wings more falcate 

 and the hind wings less dentate than in S. approxiinaria^ while it is a much 

 larger form. Head, body, and wings whitish-ash; palpi blackish. Fore 

 wings whitish-ash, speckled finely with dark scales, and mottled more coarsely 

 on the costa. A dark costal spot midw-ay between the insertion of the wing, 

 and a second costal spot, which gives origin to the extradiscal line, which curves 

 suddenly outward from this spot, and thence goes l)y a slightly sinuous course 

 to the inner edge of the wing. The corresponding line on the hind wings 

 is heavy, black, and slightly sinuous, not bent in the middle as in jS. ajrprox- 

 imaria. Beneath of the same hue, but the wings are mottled with smoky 

 spots, and there is a large discal spot on each wing not seen above.
