3c> Lloyd's natural history. 



The hind-wings are pinkish red on the hind margin, with a 

 broad black sub-marginal band ending in a large black mark 

 near the anal angle. Within this is a large red patch on the 

 inner margin, with a black mark on it. The rest of the wings 

 are bluish-grey. The nervures are pale. 



The head and thorax are dark flesh-coloured, the latter with 

 a large olive-brown spot in the middle, and another on each 

 side. The abdomen is also dark flesh-coloured, with two 

 olive-brown streaks above, and narrow flesh-coloured incisions. 



The larva is pale yellowTsh, with numerous narrow transverse 

 black lines, and oblifjue white marks on the sides, directed 

 towards the head. It feeds on vine, magnolia, and other 

 trees. The pupa has a pointed tail. 



The moth expands upwards of five inches, and is common 

 throughout the warmer parts of North and South America. 

 In the Southern United States it is double-brooded, the moth 

 appearing in July and September. 



In the types of Philai)ipelus (Harris) the wings are broader, 

 anci les>s pointed than in Dupo, and the costa is more arched. 

 Most of the species are green or brown, with the costal half of 

 the himl-wings lighter green. I must notice two other very 

 handsome species formerly placed in Philaiiipeliis. PIioliis 

 acJicnion (Drury), a North American species, has fawTi- coloured 

 and rather pointed fore-wings, with brown spots and lines, the 

 most conspicuous being a large blotch towards the inner 

 margin, and pink hind-wings, brownish towards the hind 

 margin, and with a row of blackish spots running from the 

 middle of the wing to the anal angle. The larva, which feeds 

 on the grape-vine, is green when young, with a long, slender, 

 reddish horn; and reddish-brown when full-grown, without the 

 horn. The nioth has some resemblance to the species of 

 Anihulyx. One of the most beautif" .1 of this restricted group 

 is Aii^cus labrusccE (Linn.), which is named after the wild vine,
