Moimtains of Hawaii, on trees of CJieirodouJron (jandiclKnidi).

 of dying branches of the trees similar to the way the larvae

Celerio calida. — Mr. Swezey reported recently l)reeding a 

 specimen of this endemic Sphingid from a pupa found in a 

 cavity in a dead branch of a Cheirodendvon tree, the 0])eniug 

 to the cavity being closed by a slight web. Tliis was at an 

 elevation of about ten feet from the ground on a tree standing 

 l)y the Manoa Cliffs Trail on the back side of Tantalus, Oahu.

 pupation.
