are also 3 raised points placed triangularly. The spaces between the points elevated 

 into a ridge. Wing-cases traversed by several brown waved lines crossing each 

 other, and giving a net-like appearance. The cast skin of the larva clings to the 

 crema ter, and forms part of the attachment of the chry-ah-.

 Gonepteryx Clorinde, (Io.lt. Chrysalis. 



Cream white, the sides ol the abdomen and the dorsum marked with a streak ot 

 pa!e chestnut brown. The head is continued into a short, awl-like btak, the ex- 

 tremity of which in the q" 1 is black and bent upwards in a short ho ,k, while in the 

 O it is swollen, roughened at the tip, and iight chestnut brown in color. The whole 

 surface is slightly wrinkled, especially on the anterior poition of t' c dbdo ninal seg- 

 ments. The spiracle, are yellowish. The thorax above is slightly raised into a 

 hump. The larva transforms under a leaf, attaching its silken thread to the midrib. 

 This is fixed around the centre of the wing-cases. The crema ster, which is slightly 

 blotched with black, is attached also to the midrib of the leaf by a small elevated 

 silken button. 



I ngth 35 mm. Width 10 mm. Width over wing-ca^es 14 mm. 



From several specimens sent me by Wm. Schaus, Esq., Jr. Though 

 there is doubt as to this insect belonging to our fauna, I make no apology 

 for introducing this description here. 



Pamphila Ethlius, Cram. Chrysalis. 



Color after exclusion pale buff, suriace with a slight mealy covering. Form 

 nearly cylindrical, tapering somewhat abruptly from the 4th abdominal segment, the 

 anal pegment being strongly pointed, triangular, margined, with a deep fovea in the 

 centre, thus elevating the sides of this segment into sharp ridges. The surface ot the 

 abdominal segments is roughened by slightly raised reticulations, and in some speci- 

 mens, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd segments are some faint brown shades. The wing- 

 ire smooth— slightly glossy. In tl.e ,3 chrysalis the spiracles are marked with 

 black dot-, in the ^ they are concolorous with the rest of the body. The head bears 

 a sharply pointed proce.-s, about 4 mm. in length, slightly curved upward, and 

 roughened at the extremity. 



Length 40 mm. Widtti 10 mm. 



The larva cutis itself up in a leaf (as in the case 0S.E1ida.mus Tityrus) 

 to which it is attached by a silken thread placed around the wing covers — 

 the surface of the leaf bearing a thin silken web.— From many examples 

 collected and raised by Win. Schaus, Esq., Jr. 



HETEROCERA. 



Family SPHINGIDiE. 

 CEllopus tantalus, L. Pupa. 



In shape like that of Hcmais Thysbc — almost cylindrical, very slightly swollen 



ab >ut the middle, and abruptly narrowing at 5th abdominal segment. Color pitchy, 

 with the posterior margin of the abdominal segments chestnut brown, those of the 4th, 

 5th and 6th segments broadly so. Thorax almost smooth, with faint waved lines. 

 Anterior portion of abdominal segments a little roughened. Cremaster produced into 

 a short, sharp point. 



Length 30 mm. Width 10 mm.
