  the 
  State,

   flowers 
  in

  The

  great 
  variety 
  of 
  

   plants, 
  including 
  many 
  of 
  economic 
  importance; 
  but 
  is 
  most 
  usually 
  

   found 
  on 
  purslane; 
  yet 
  never 
  in 
  sufficient 
  numbers 
  to 
  do 
  the 
  slightest 
  

   injury 
  to 
  the 
  crop 
  of 
  that 
  omnipresent 
  weed.

  Has 
  been 
  taken 
  by

  P.

  Throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  June

  September, 
  and 
  Mr.

  records 
  an 
  example 
  from 
  Staten

  in 
  early 
  November. 
  

   The 
  larvsB 
  feed 
  on 
  grape 
  and 
  Ampelopsis 
  from 
  June 
  to

  eggs 
  

   being

  P.

  Dru. 
  Occurs 
  with 
  the 
  preceding 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  food 
  

   plants. 
  The 
  moths 
  are 
  occasionally 
  attracted 
  to 
  light 
  and 
  the 
  larvae 
  

   of 
  both 
  species 
  are 
  easily 
  recognizable 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  horn, 
  its 
  

   place 
  occupied 
  by 
  an 
  eye-spot, 
  and 
  the 
  retractile 
  head 
  and 
  anterior 
  

   segments. 
  These 
  characters 
  are 
  shared 
  with 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  

   genus; 
  but 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  much 
  smaller.
