From a specimen from which the moth had been raised by Wm. 

 Schaus, Esq., jr. 



Cautethia Grotei, 1 1 v. Edwards. Pupa. 



Same shape asffemais, cylindrical tapering gradually to the posterior end. 

 Pale pitchy, shining. Head, thorax and wing-cases impunctate. Abdominal seg 

 nients roughly and densely punctured on anterior half. Spiracles pitchy black. Cre- 

 master pitchy black, rough at its base, carried out to a sharp point, which is bifurcate. 

 The rough punctures of abdominal segments are continued on the lower side. 

 Length 25 mm. Width 8 mm. 



From a specimen given to me by my friend Dr. Wittfeld, Indian 

 River, Fla. 



Amphonyx Antaeus, Diary. Pupa. 



Pitchy— the head, thorax aid wing-cases lighter in color. Tongue-case about 

 40 mm. long, gracefully curved, and swollen very much at its extremity, which rests 

 against the chest. It is roughly grooved over its whole surface, except the swollen 

 tip, which is quite smosth. On its uppjr side is a double ridg r, slightly raised, and 

 when viewed sideways, the ridge, abovj the grooves have the appearance of blunt 

 teeth. The head is much narrower than the thorax, and is swollen between the eyes. 

 Thorax rugosely wrinkled, at the base of the wings are roughened, elevated, serrate 

 processes. The liases of the wing-cases are slightly swollen. The wing-shape is 

 very clearly defined, and the cases are streaked slightly with darker brown along the 

 course of the veins. Base of the abdomen has two roughened processes like those at 

 the base of the wing-covers — but broader and larger each way. At the anterior edge 

 of the abdominal segments are bands of similar roughened spaces extending trans- 

 versely across the dorsal region nearly as far as the spiracles, which are black, with 

 a deep harrow slit. The underside of the abdomen is smooth. Each segment above 

 is marked also with transverse ridges. Cremaster black, obtusely pointed, ridged, 

 rough. 



Length from base of tongue-case 90 mm. Width across middle of abdomen 25 mm. 

 From several specimens from which the imagos were raised by Wm. 

 Schaus, Esq., Jr. 



Phlegethontius Rusticus, Cram. Pupa. 



Very like that of A. Anttsus, but differing in many important particulars. The 

 tongue-case is proportionately much longer, alike in structure, but the grooves are 

 deeper, and the serratures consequently longer and sharper. The abdominal seg- 

 ments want the curiously roughened spaces so remarkable in the preceeding species. 

 In this they are roughly punctate in front, closely punctate over the rest of the sur- 

 face. The anal segment is smooth, with a deep groove above, wrinkled beneath, 

 while the cremaster is furnished with two small points at the sides. The wing-cases 

 and thorax are concolorous with the abdomen, while the tongue-case is less curved 

 than in A. Animus. 



Length 70 mm. Width 18 mm. Length of tongue-case 45 mm. 



Chaerocampa tersa, L. Pupa. 



Cylindrical, last two posterior segments, conically and abruptly smaller. Color 

 dull fawn drab, with black markings. Head gradually tapering, eyes and base of 

 tongue slightly swollen, as are also the bases of the wing-covers. Abdominal segments
