from Harris’ determination. Harris seems to haye confused the two illustrations of Abbot, 
and while he describes our largest species, which is most probably hastulifera of the Insects 
of Georgia, he states it to be figured by Abbot and Smith as aceris, which it certainly is not. 
Harris may have been led to this by larval observations, which perhaps cannot always be 
considered as correctly made by Abbot. In two instances—Phalaena angulosa, Plate 83, and
