 former live on trees, the latter on low grounds and grasses.

Primaries reddish-yellow or fulvous, with the extremity brown- 

 ish, marked with two rows of small spots and a marginal interrupted 

 ray, ochry yellow. The fulvous portion has two black streaks on 

 the discoidal cellule, and is separated from the brownish by a 

 sinuous blackish ray. 



The secondaries are obscure rufous, gradually becoming brown- 

 ish towards the extremity. This part is divided by a row of five 

 black points ocellated with rufous, preceded by a series of quad- 

 rangular spots a little more clear than the ground color and fol- 

 lowed by a yellowish marginal ray, as a continuation of that on 

 the primaries. Besides these, there is near the middle a blackish, 

 sinuous, transverse ray, very distinct at its origin on the upper 

 edge. 



Under side of all the wings is russety gray, with a violet reflec- 

 tion ; an obscure marginal ray, and a median, black, transverse, 

 flexuous ray, corresponding to that on the upper side, more distinct 

 on the primaries, where it is preceded by two black streaks and 

 followed by the same spots as above, but paler. This same ray is 

 preceded, in the discoidal cellule of the secondaries, by two black 

 streaks. The ocellated points have the pupil bluish-white. The 

 emarginations of all the wings are feebly white. 



Larva, which feeds on Prunus and other drupaceous plants, is 

 green, with four rays of greenish yellow. Head yellowish-green, 

 marked with two black spots and surmounted by two short ramose 

 yellowish spines ; the two small anal points are a little elevated. 



Chrysalis green, with the envelopment of the wings and some 

 indistinct dorsal rays greenish-yellow. 



Southern States. — Expands nearly two inches and a half.
