with a rosy white tinge, and a brown edge above ; abdomen with 

 a longitudinal dorsal brown line. Expands from two and a half

outer edge, varied with wavy whitish and brown bands, with a 

 white Z at tip, arid a tawny^yellow spot on'each of the outer an- 

 gles ; hind- wings with abbreviated whitish and brown bands 

 upon the front edge, ochre-yellow next to the body, with a round 

 black eye-spot having a pale blue centre near the anal angle j 

 head and shoulder-covers glossed with bluish white ; a rusty 

 brown stripe in the middle of the thorax ; abdomen with a few 

 tawny yellow spots on each side. Expands from two inches and 

 three lines to two inches and six lines. Lar'va, as figured by Ab- 

 bot, (Ins. Georg. p. 51, pi. 26.) apple-green, the head margined 

 with yellow, and two rows of rust-red spots with six oblique yel- 

 lowish bands on each side of the body. Abbot says that it eats 

 the leaves of the wild cherry-tree, and buries itself in the ground

M. Boisduval has named and figured but has not described this

 why it cannot be adopted.

 dle, with a large semioval black spot including two pale blue

I am indebted to the Rev. L. W. Leonard, of Dublin, N. H., 

 for my specimens, both of which are males. The figure of S.

 2, 3, very nearly resembles the geminata, but it has only one blue 

 pupil in the eye-spot of the hind-wings. Mr. Kirby's S. Cerisii,
