ternal margin before anal angle; in the New Hampshire specimen 

 obsolete, represented by a just perceptible series of dots. Expanse, 

 14-15mm. Two males; U. S- Nat. Mus., type No. 4413. 



This species is allied to T. grcefii Pack., but is larger, the hind 

 wings black and the inner line on fore wings straight, not curved. 

 Reakirt's Kroncua minuta is unknown to me, as no specimens have 

 been taken since Reakirt bred the types, and these, which were in 

 Dr. Sti'ecker's collection, are at present lost. The genus Kroncea 

 will probably prove a synonym of either Heterogertea or Tortricidja . 

 Reakirt says the palpi " slightly exceed the head" and the hind 

 tibiae have "three spurs." The first statement is indefinite, the 

 second erroneous. If the palpi slightly exceed \\iQ front and the 

 tibiae have two spurs, the genus '\sHterogenea; if the palpi slightly 

 exceed the vertex and the hind tibiae have four spurs, it is Totri- 

 ct'dm. The latter seams more probable, yet the description of the 

 larva as possessing " densely spined papulae" strongly suggests the 

 former. It is possible, therefore, that T.Jiskeana is a maculate 

 form of Kroncea minuta ; but if so, the form deserves a name in 

 any case. 



A •s¥.yf ffphtnx for this locality called Cocytius cluentius was 

 caught here in Chicago about October 6th by a friend of we butter- 

 fly hunters, Mr. Stupe, who told us about it and gave it to Mr. 

 Paul Vollbrecht. This specimen measui-es a little over seven and 

 one-half inches across the wings, and is quite a go(.d specimen for a 

 collection. The colors look fresh, as if not long after leaving the 

 chrysalis, although it is rubbed a little on the body, probably on ac- 

 coaotof the Btnigjfle Mr- Stupe had in catching it, he not being 

 familiar with cyanid bottles. This Sphinx is frequently seen in 

 collections of Brazil in Lepidoptera, and has been caught as far 

 north as Mexico and the West Indies. I happen to have a speci- 

 men in my collection from Mexico. No matter whether the wind 

 or the railroad cars brought it such a distance from the south, it 

 Hliould be added toour list of U. S. Hphingidae. lam not certain 

 wether the name given me is (correct, and I therefore describe the 

 Hpocimen. The general color of the wings and body is a dark 

 brown. The forewings are Hluwled witli dark zig-zag lines, 

 Himilar to our Sphinx r.arolinn ; the under wings ani al- 

 m .t traoHparcnt. with a broad dark rim ; there is a yellow shade, 

 almoMt a spot, where the wings stiirt near the body. The bo<ly is 

 dark brown with orange yellow spots on each side, similar to Caro- 

 lina. A. Tkoschel
