SPHINX PINASTRI. 113 



pupaQ in a flower-pot, some little distance below the 

 surface of the earth ; and kept them under moss in the 

 usual way. I bred moths June 24th — 30th, 1884, and 

 one, which remained two winters in the pupa state, 

 June 29th, 1885. 



The pupa I measured was just over 40 mm. in length, 

 cylindrical, with the tongue-case just like that of 

 8. ligustri, but only 5 mm. long ; abdomen tapering to 

 the tail ; the rough anal spike longer and more slender 

 than in ligustri, with two pairs of short spines on its 

 sides, and a pair at the tip ; the pupa skin granulated, 

 in colour dark red-brown. (J. H., 4, 11, 86.) 



Chcerooampa celerio. 



Plate XXV, fig. 2. 



The larva figured by Mr. Buckler, November 8th, 

 1865, came from a friend at Newmarket, and fed on vine 

 leaves. In the same year, October 19th, I had a speci- 

 men of the moth brought to me in perfect condition, 

 except a little damage on one wing inflicted in the 

 capture ; it had been found at rest on a window-sill. 

 Several notices of the finding of the imago and the 

 larva agree closely with the dates I have given as to 

 the time of year in which they occurred. (J. H., 11, 

 11, 86.) 



Chcerooampa Elpenor. 



Plate XXV, fig. 3. 



Mr. Buckler figured this larva August 13th, 1858, 

 September 9th, 1864, and August 4th, 1868 ; the 

 food-plants were Galium palustre and Epilobium hir- 

 sutum ; he bred the moth June 7th, 1859, and July 

 6th, 1869. In former years I have bred the moth on 

 various dates from May 7th to June 21st ; I have had 

 the nearly full-fed larva brought to me from July 31st
