Deidamia inscriptnm Harris. 



Ill June, 1903, I found seven Sphingid larvae on Virginia 

 creeper, which I took to be ^. myron ; these pupated from 

 June 12 to 18 ; I left them for a little over three weeks, and 

 then concluding they were all dead, put them up in alcohol. 

 All this time I still looked on them as myron ; a little while 

 later, on examining them, I was struck by their utter lack of 

 any of the characteristic markings of myron pupae, the head 

 also had several projections not present in myron pupae, and 

 on carefully going over all the descriptions in my possession 

 of Chaerocampine larvae and pupae, I concluded they were 

 this species.
