This genus consists of a number of species which may be 

 found in Florida and two of these at least are found farther 

 north, E. alope and E. ello. These species may be separated as 

 follows : 



a. Predominating color usually red; cephalic portion of abdominal segments 

 with the punctures mostly confluent; cremaster longer than broad, . .E. alope 



aa. Predominating color usually black; cephalic portion of abdominal segments 

 not usually confluent; cremaster with length and breadth equal E. ello 



Erinnyis alope Dm. 



Color orange red or vermilion, marked with black, the proportion 

 of color varying; head, thorax and particularly the appendages marked 

 with longitudinal stripes; abdomen with two transverse rows of black 

 dashes more or less united on the ventral surface, a black stripe along 

 the caudal margin and a black dot on either side the meson between 

 the rows of dashes, these dots occasionally modified into dashes ; spiracles 

 ringed with black; body smooth and polished; surface of head and 

 thorax with fine transverse striations, these scarcely visible on the 

 appendages; abdominal segments with an elevated punctate band 

 along the cephalic margin of segments 2-7, the punctures denser and 

 confluent on 5-7, the remainder of the surface almost smooth except 

 near the spiracles where it is transversely striate; maxillge extending 

 over the curve of the head at their proximal end and to the caudal 

 margin of the wings; antenna; extending to the distal end of the pro- 

 thoracic legs in the male, a little shorter in the female; exposed portion 

 of prothoracic femur about 5 mm. long and .5 mm. broad; metathorax 

 with ridges as in Pseudosphinx ; spiracular furrows about G mm., long, 

 extending both dorsad and ventrad of the spiracle; annulets faintly 

 indicated on the first three abdominal segments; scar of caudal horn 

 usually a smooth, circular, polished area with finely radiating furrows; 

 cremaster very finely rugose, 2 mm. long, not quite as broad. Length 

 of pupa 50-60 mm., greatest width 13 mm. 



Erinnyis ello L. (Fig. 6). 

 This species differs but little from the preceding species except 

 that it usually has less red and this is a darker red, so that the black 

 markings do not show so plainly. In fact the pupa appears to be black, 

 rather than red. There is a distinct black dash instead of a dot normally 

 present between the two rows of black dashes on the abdominal seg- 

 ments. The annulets are much more distinct in this species, being 

 visible on all the segments. The punctures along the cephalic margins 

 of the segments are not usually confluent as in alope. The cremaster 

 has the length and breadth equal, about 2 mm. Length of pupa 43-53 

 mm., greatest breadth 11-13 mm. 



Genus Haemorrhagia Grt. 

 In this genus the body is typically sphingiform, considerably 

 narrowed at the cephalic end, and the labrum is visible only in
