whitish band. The discal streak of the anteriors is scarcely visible. Feet 
and legs, whitish green. 
Not rare in the northern portion of California and southern Oregon. A 
number of specimens were taken by Lord Walsingham, near Fort Klamath, 
and it occurs not unfrequently, in May and June, throughout the Coast Range 
and the Sierra Nevada. It appears to delight in the flowers of the various 
species of (ilia. Dr. Boisduval says that his specimen was raised from the 
caterpillar by the late Mr. Lorquin. Itis a matter of regret that we possess 
no record of its earlier stages. 
This is undoubtedly the species referred to by Mr. Grote in Bull. Buffalo N. 
H. Soc., 1874, as Lepisesia Victoriw, the description having been evidently 
drawn up from a somewhat faded specimen. 
Proserpinus Terlooii, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. : r 
Head and palpi, yellowish olive. Eyes, black. Antenne, dark olive; 
pectinations, brown; hooked tip, white. Thorax and abdomen, yellowish 
olive, the former with some darker shading in front. Anterior wings, yellow 
olive, greener towards their outer margins, with a median band of olive green, 
widest on the costa, and a triangular patch, alittle paler than the band, resting 
on the costa near the apex. Fringe, mottled with brown. Posterior wings, 
dull claret red, paler along the costa, and shading into deep rich brown on 
the posterior margin. 
Under side. Anterior wings, yellow olive, with a wide central shade of 
dull red, reaching from the base to within three lines of the margin, but not 
touching the costa. Posterior wings, yellow olive, with indistinct waved me- 
dian band of a little darker color. 
Expanse of wings, 1.65 inch. 
Length of body, 0.70 inch.

Terloo, to whom, at Dr. Behr’s request, I dedicate this interesting species.

Cherocampa procne. Clemens. 
I can learn nothing whatever of this insect, and think some error must have 
occurred as to its locality. Is it known that the type specimen is in existence, 
and, if so, where? 
Deilephila chameenerii. Harris. 
This species, which I am disposed to regard as different from (alii of 
Europe, is not uncommon in Vancouver Island, and has been occasionally 
taken in Oregon and Northern California. It would satisfy many entomolo- 
gists if a long series of this insect could be raised from the caterpillar, through 
a succession of years, as by these means alone can we arrive at a certain con- 
clusion as to its value as a species. It seems to me to be a much heavier and 
more clumsy-looking insect than (alii, and its general color is considerably
