PAMPIIIUni: LEREMA HI ANN A. 



1771 



has often visited Florida, says that it is found in the south "from early 

 spring until late in tlic autumn." Abbot found tlie chrysalis state to last 

 eight days in June. Its early appearance at the north indicates hilierna- 

 tion in the chrysalis. 



Fitch describes in his unpublished notes a pupa which he ascribes to 

 this species but by error. 



Desiderata. Tlie chance for any enlargement of our knowledge of this 

 insect from observations in the north is small on account of its extreme 

 rarity ; observers by the sea-shore are in the best position. The life history 

 as given here is based upon quite too fragmentary data and needs ^erifica- 

 tion and amplification at every point ; this would proliably be easj' to do 

 in the south. None of the larval stages are sufficiently described, nor is 

 the chrysalis, and the egg only from dead material ; the habits of the larva, 

 if they have any peculiarity, and the mode of suspension of the chrysalis are 

 alike unknown. How is the winter passed and if in chrysalis in what sort 

 or a concealment, and how does it diifer from that made for the chrysalids of 

 the fair season?

So in his silken sepulchre the Worm, 

 Warm'd with new life, unfolds his larva-form; 

 Erewhile aloft in wanton circles moves, 

 And woos on Hymen-wings his velvet loves.
