 colored, varied with pale gray, with two blackish brown lines from the inner margin crossing the disc to 

 the costa, and a series of blackish lunules in the interspaces, extending from the costa a little beyond the 

 origin of post apical nervule to the lower third of the inner margin and bordered interiorly with pale gray ; 

 the mark in medio-central interspace is lanceolate, and sometimes that in the posterior interspace ; the ends 

 of the nervules tipped with dark brownish ; fringes brown, spotted with white. Lighter towards the base.

Mature Larva. — Mr. George Newman, a collector in Philadelphia, assures me he has taken the larva of 

 this insect near maturity on the pines of New Jersey about the latter part of September. He could de- 

 scribe it only in general terms. It was without a caudal, horn and in general color green.

ARCTONOTUS Boisd. 



Male. — Body thick, very pilose. Proboscis very short, obsolete. Palpi stout, very 

 short and pilose. Antennae thick, serrate, very pubescent, much longer than the 

 thorax. Abdomen elongato-obconical, hardly longer than the thorax. Legs stout, 

 pilose ; hind tibiae with four rather short spurs. Wings moderately broad, not long, 

 hardly denticulated, rather deeply ciliated. Fore wings straight in front, slightly 

 acuminated, rather oblique and slightly convex along the exterior border ; second 

 inferior vein (medio-superior) nearer to the third (medio-central) than to the first 

 (disco-central) ; third rather further from the fourth (posterior) than from the first. 

 Hind wings much rounded at the tips. — Walker. 



This genus appears to connect Smerinthus with the Bonribycidce.
