THE STRIPED HAWK. 4I 



Siberia and Amurland. It is represented in North America by 

 the Galium Sphinx {Celerio intermedia^ Kirby = chamduerii^ 

 Harris), which so greatly resembles it that only an expert could 

 readily distinguish one from the other. 



The Striped Hawk {Phryxus {Deilephila) Uvomica). 



Owing to some confusion between this moth (Plate 15, Fig. 3) 

 and the North American Striped Morning Sphinx {D. lineata)^ 

 which also seems to have had a place in the cabinets of the 

 earlier British entomologists, the localities given by authors 

 previous to 1828 are doubtful. Haworth, however, in 1803, 

 mentions Cornwall, and Stephens, in his remarks on this species, 

 refers to a specimen from Norfolk ; one taken off the mast of 

 the Ramsgate steam vessel at Billingsgate, in June, 1824; and 

 three specimens, one of which he figured, captured near Kings- 

 bridge, Devonshire. 



In 1846 thirteen of these moths were recorded from various 

 parts of England and Ireland, and probably many others were 

 in these islands that year. Between May 12 and 26, i860, 

 twenty specimens were taken in the south of England, and 

 more than half of them in Devonshire. In 1862 a specimen 

 occurred at Worthing on April 16, and one at Heme Hill on 

 April 29 ; others were taken between May 2 and May 1.8 on the 

 south and south-west coasts, and at Colchester. Over a score 

 of specimens were recorded in 1868, chiefly in August, and from 

 localities ranging from Cornwall to Yorkshire. The year 1870 

 was a good one for the species, and moths were reported from 

 England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Fully fifty specimens 

 were obtained, mostly in May, and caterpillars were also found. 

 In 1904 the moth occurred in May, at several places in the 

 south and south-west of England, also in Gloucestershire, 

 Wales, and at Carlisle ; in September of this year a specimen 

 was taken on the pier at Dover, and another on a small
