 the tongue is dirty yellowish, as also is the portion of the abdomen above the edge of 

 the wing-cases. Cremaster sharply pointed, the point black, shining.

 Philampelus Vitis, Drury. Pupa. 



Pitchy black, posterior margin of abdominal segments broadly chestnut brown. 

 Graduall) tapering from the middle to both head and anal segment. Thorax moder-

 Pseudosphinx Tetrio, L. Pupa. 



In shape like that of Philampelus. Pitchy black, shining. Head slightly swollen 

 at the eyes. Thorax transversely wrinkled, with a slight dorsal channel. Covers of 

 the tongue and legs much raised above the surface. Wing-cases longitudinally ridged 

 above the veins. First 4 abdominal segments rugosely channeled, the remainder 

 more smoothly channeled, with the anterior margin of each densely and coarsely

 Jalapa, Mexico. Wm. Schaus, Esq., Jr. 

 Anceryx Edwardsii, Butler. Larval stages. 



After 3rd moult. — Entirely pale sea-green, the head, as is usual in the group in 

 their earlier stages, monstrously large. It is faintly punctured, and has a slight dorsal 

 channel. Mouth parts white. Caudal horn rough, straight, very sharply pointed, 

 yellowish at the tip. On the middle of the dorsum of 4th segment is a small black 

 round dot. Abdominal legs sordid white. 



Length 18 mm. 



After jlli moult. — The larva now assumes its more mature form and color. It 

 is rich reddish brown dorsally, pale fawn-color laterally. Head moderate in size, the 

 same width as the second segment, yellowish fawn-color, with dashes of light brown 

 running down each side of the front, and a triangular blotch of the same color above 

 the mouth parts. 2nd segment fawn-color, with double dorsal band, pale brown, 

 edged outwardly and divided by a darker line. On the sides are brown clashes, ex- 

 tending to the base of the legs. On the 3rd segment, which is slightly swollen, the 

 band and lines are continued, and there is on the anterior half of this segment, a rich 

 wine-red stain, enclosing 2 narrow transverse bars of rich brown. The black marks 

 on the sides of the segment arc larger and more distinct than in No. 2. The 4th seg- 

 ment is swollen, being nearly half as wide again as the rest of the body. The anterior 

 half is velvety black, with a reddish tinge, and in the centre is a narrow circular ring 

 of scarlet, enclosing in its centre a small light brown dot. Posterior half of the 4th 

 segment fawn-color, covered each way by brown lines. The marks of the sides are 

 here distinct blotches, the anterior series being the* largest. The remaining segments
