302 Catalogue of North American Sphinges. 
anal angle; head and shoulder-covers dark olive ; and a white 
line on each side of the thorax at the origin of the wings. Ex- 
pands two and a half to two inches and three quarters. Larva pale 
green, with a longitudinal series of six triangular orange-colored 
spots on the top of the back and a darker green lateral line ; sides 
below this paler, almost white, sprinkled with rusty dots, and 
with six oblique green.bands; caudal horn short, bluish green. 
It varies in being of a clear light brown color, with the back 
bounded on each side by a darker longitudinal line, meeting at 
the origin of the caudal horn, the sides tinged with pink, and 
obliquely banded with brown. Feeds on the leaves of the grape- 
vine. Pupa clay-colored, sprinkled and punctured with black, 
and with the incisures of the abdomen black. 
Mr. Abbot, on plate 28 of his Insects of Georgia, has represen- 
ted this larva with the caudal horn too long and too much curved, 
and the eleventh segment not so much produced behind as It 
ought to be. This species, in the winged state, comes very near 
to Cramer’s Sphinx Myron, which, from the figure, seems 0 
want the spot in the middle of the fore-wings, and, according to 
Cramer, has a very short tongue, a character that does not apply 
to the Pampinatrir. 'The larva, above described, is one of the 
most injurious to our cultivated grape-vines; for, not satisfied 
with devouring the leaves, it nips off the fruit-stalks when the 
grapes are not more than half grown. I have gathered under 
single grape-vine above a quart of unripe grapes which had been 
detached thus during one night by these larvee.

Rust-colored ; fore-wings rusty gray tinged with blue, with a 
dot near the middle, a few spots between it and the base, and * 
very broad band beyond the middle, rust-colored; hind-wings 
rust-colored, dusky near the anal angle, with a whitish fringe; ® 
spot at the sides and a slender line on the top of the thorax, the 
edges of the shoulder-covers and of the abdominal segments 
white. In the male the broad band of the fore-wings is marked 
by a pale and a dark zigzag line so as nearly to divide it into two 
bands. Expands two and a half to three inches. Larva, as ae 
resented by Abbot, (Ins. Georg. p. 53, pl. 27,) varying 12 color, 
being either pale green, with a narrow dusky dorsal line, 4 deel 
ish line on each side, a blue-green caudal horn, and the s! es 
obliquely banded with green; or clear pale red, with the lines 
aud bands brownish, and the horn chestnut-colored. Mr. Abbo
