Trctina hinna Gey., Phurys vinadum Guen., Euhalisidota longa 

 Gr. and many other species. The true collector is always san- 

 guine, and I have great hopes concerning my unnamed speci- 

 mens. One large, oddly-marked sphinx fills me with visions of 

 a new genus as well as species, and I have already selected its 

 name. There is also a strange and beautiful moth, apparently 

 one of the Zygsenidae, unHke anything I have seen or of which 

 I have read. I found feeding upon the tomato vines in the hotel 

 garden many larvse of Phlegethontius celeus, and upon the sweet 

 potato and Ipomcsa pes-caprce, larvae of P. ciyigulata. These 

 were all full grown; I placed several of them with their food- 

 plant in a box of earth where they soon buried themselves and 

 transformed, but though they have been in the pupa state nearly 

 five weeks no moth has yet emerged. I also found feeding upon 

 mangrove {Rhizophora viangle) and upon Conocarpus erecta 

 young larvae of Hyperchiria io Fab. I have reared them and 

 they are just spinning themselves up among some leaves. They 

 do not differ in any respect, as far as I can see, from the typical 

 form, and I am anxious to see if they will develop into var. lilith 

 Strecker.

 Philadelphia, during 1889. The locaUties in parentheses signify 

 where the species was recorded from before publication of this 

 article. 



Miitilla ornativentris Cress. Several specimens, Westville, N. J. , 

 1889 (Southern and Western States). 



Miitilla dubitata Sm. Several specimens taken with the pre- 

 ceding species (Florida, Georgia, Colorado).

 was captured Oct. 29, 1889 (New York).
