says that it lives on Azalea nudiflora, and that it spins itself up 
ina thin web on the leaves. Pupa like that of C. Pampinatriz. 
3. C. versicolor. H. 
Light olive, variegated with olive-green and white ; fore-wings 
with narrow curved bands of white and olive-green, and a zigzag 
white line at tip; hind-wings rust-colored, with the inner and 
" hind margin olive-green ; tips of the palpi, a line on each side of 
the head above the eyes, a longitudinal dorsal line from the front 
to the tail, and the edges of the collar and of the shoulder-covers, 
White ; two spots on the metathorax and the abdominal segments 
on each side of the dorsal line tinged with dark buff. Expands 
about three inches. 
Although the larva and pupa of this species are unknown to 
me, I have ventured to place it in the genus Chewrocampa. The 
palpi are rather thicker towards the tip than those of the two pre- 
ceding species ; the fore-wings are not quite so much emarginated, 
and consequently, their angles are not quite so prominent. The 
under-side is quite as prettily variegated as the upper-side; that 
of the-fore-wings being pale olive, tinged with deep buff near the 
hind-angle, with rust-red in the middle, and mottled and streaked 
with olive-green and white; that of the hind-wings olive-green, 
banded with white, dark olive, and buff. My specimen was taken 
Sitting upon the leaves of Azalea viscosa ; it was quite fresh, and 
seemed to have been recently transformed. 
Dr. Hornbeck has presented to me a species, from St. Thomas, 
fesembling the versicolor very nearly in color and form; but the 
Palpi are more promiuent, the antenne are not so much arcuated, 
and the terminal hook is much shorter. It evidently leads to the 
seus Deilephila. 
4. C. tersa. L. 
Grayish olive above ; fore-wings streaked from base to tip with 
humerous narrow dusky and pale lines, and with a minute black 
dot near the middle; hind-wings black, paler round the edges, 
With the anal angle and the fringe cream-colored, and a trans- 
Verse row of small wedge-shaped cream-colored spots near the 
ind-margin ; areddish white line on the sides of the head and 
thorax ; shoulder-covers slightly edged above with rust-red ; sides 
of the abdomen, and the body and wings beneath, rusty buff, 
Streaked and sprinkled with dusky olive-gray. Expands two and 
three quarters to three inches. Larva, according to Abbot, (Ins. 
'g. p. 75, pl. 38,) pea-green or brown, with seven white eye-
