confounded, and which has only four white lines instead of six, 
on the thorax. The larva of the latter, moreover, differs from 
that of our lineata. Dr. Hornbeck has sent to me from St. 
Thomas, W. I., specimens which vary a little, but are not speci- 
fically distinct from the dineata of the United States. 
2. D. Chamenerii. H. = Epilobii. H. (Catalogue. ) 
Olive-brown ; fore-wings with a sinuous buff-colored stripe, 
indented before, beginning near the base of the inner margin and 
extending to the tip, and a dark olive-brown tapering stripe behind 
it,a black spot at base, a white dash and a diamond-shaped black- 
ish spot before the middle ; hind- wings dark brown, with a trans- 
verse rose-colored band, including a white spot near the body and 
a deep red one before the anal angle ; inner edge of the fore-wings 
and fringe of the hind-wings whitish; palpi white below; a_ 
White line above each eye extending on the sides of the thorax, 
Where it is bounded above by a black line ; abdomen with a dor- 
sal series of white dots, two black and two alternating white 
bands on each side of the base, and two narrow transverse white 
lateral lines near the tip; segments beneath edged with white. 
Expands from two and three quarters to three inches. Larva 
green, somewhat bronzed, dull red beneath; with nine round 
cream-colored spots, encircled with black, on each side, and a dull 
ted caudal horn. It lives on the E’pilobium angustifolium, and 
(as Mr. Leonard informs me) transforms in the ground, without 
Making a cocoon. Inhabits New Hampshire. 
The larva very closely resembles that of D. Gali, as figured 
by Roesel, III, Tab. VI, Fig. 1,2. For a specimen of it, and 
for the insects in the winged state, I am indebted to Mr. Leonard, 
by whom they were raised. This species is the American rep- 
Tesentative of D. Galii, and is also allied to several other Euro- 
Pean species, such as D. Epilobii, Esule, Amelia, Tithymali, 
Dahiii, Euphorbia, &c.; but Iam satisfied that it is perfectly dis- 
thet from all of them; and the long description which I have 
Sven of it will render it easy to discover in what respects it differs 
tom them. Moreover it is a legitimate species, which is more than 
Can be said of all of the above-named European insects, some of 
Which are now admitted to be hybrids. Mr. Kirby (Fauna Bo- 
‘Teali-Americana, IV, p. 302,) describes a North American species, 
Under the name of D. intermedia, which, according to him, has 
the Stripe on the fore-wings of a pale rose color, and wants the
