c? ? . Head and prothorax rather longer tliau iu the other species of PI/olus, 

 excepting uin-hemolm. Hiudtarsns verj' long, first segment somewhat longer than 

 tibia. Fir.st segment of palpns a little longer than second. Patch of modified 

 scales near base of M of forewing below more distinct than in the other species. 

 f]asily recognised by the blue patches of the hindwing. 



i . Tenth tergite relatively very short, pointed (PI. XLIV. f. 1). Clasper sub- 

 acuminate, apex more convex dorsally than ventrally ; harpe as in satcllitia, shorter, 

 vertical j)art of hook sometimes nearly as long as horizontal part of hook (PI. 

 XLVIII. f. 4). Penis-sheath slendar, process very short and obtnse (PI. LIV. f. 28). 



Larva : first stages green, later brown or greenish brown ; fourth segment with 

 a small round ocellus ; young caterpillars (except first stage) with a series of seven 

 rosy side-bands, replaced later by white spots ; adult larva with obscure pale side- 

 band from head to anal segment, irregularly zigzag on segments 4 to 10; thoracical 

 segments, besides, with pale veutro-lateral band and thin dorsal line ; 4tli to 11th 

 segments striated with thin short huffish lines, which are especially obvious on the 

 back. — Food : Vitis ; Ampelopsis. 



Pupa : head-case more projecting than iu satellitia, anchemoltts, citis, far more 

 convex ventrally than on back ; cromaster broad, short, triangular, flattened, rough. 



Hah. Neotropical Pegion, from Patagonia northward to Canada, but only visitor 

 iu the temperate and cold northern aud southern districts. Apparently everywhere 

 in Central and Sonth America.

cJ. Eye not lashed, ajiart from a tuft of scales near base of antenna. Paljais 

 long and slender, second segment nearly three times as long as broad, widest 

 before middle, tapering towards end, third segment small. Genal process narrow 

 but prominent, shorter than the jiilifer. Antenna (broken, only one half left) 

 very strongly compressed, the ridge, bearing the fascicles of ciliae elevate sub- 

 vent rally, the segment, in frontal aspect, broader below middle than above middle. 

 Abdiunituil segments with one row of heavy sj)ines, which are only partly con- 

 tiguous. First segment of foretarsns with many spines at base externally ; mid- 

 tarsus without comb, first segment longer than 2 to 5 together, long spur about
