Goossens (Ann. Soc. Entom. France, S<5ances, 1869, pp. 61, 62) states 
that he has observed that the horn of young larvae of Smerinthm quercus 
secretes a viscous fluid, which he believes to be useful to protect them from • 
falls before their legs acquire suflicient strength, when the discharge becomes 
superfluous and ceases.

iEGERIIDA?. 
Packard (Guide to Study of Insects, pp. 277-279) notices and flgures 
the following American species of this family : — jEgeria exitiosa, Say, figs. 206^ 
207 ; AE. polistiformis, Harr., p. 278 (not figured) ; tipuliformcy fig. 208 ; 
AS. quinquecaudataj 'R\&., fig. 209; Melittia cucurhitcc, Harr., fig. 210. 
ScuDDER (Harris Correspondence, pp. 359-361) reprints Harris’s original 
descriptions of Algeria persicce, cucurhitac, and AS. pyri from the ^New- 
England Farmer.’ He also (p. 284) publishes Harris’s description of the 
larva of AE. cucurhitm, and (pp. 129, 130) Boubleday’s description of two 
undetermined species (or sexes ?) of Trochilimn figured by Abbot. In another 
letter published by Scudder (1. c. p. 161), Boubleday notes that AE. cucurhitccy 
Harr., — Melittia satyriniformis, Hiibn., and that AE exitiosa, Harr., ^Paran- 
throne pepsidiformis, Hubn. 
RaMbur (Cat. Syst. L^p. d’Andalusie, ii. p. 146) describes Trochilium 
uroceriforme, Treitschke, and refers to it a species figured by himself in 
part 1 (pi. 2. fig. 2) as Sesia monedulaformis, which has been incorrectly 
referred by Staudinger to andrcnceformis, Lasp. He adds that uroceriforme 
is possibly the same as crahroniformis, Fabr., and that andrenceformis, Lasp., 
has priority over anthraciformis, Lasp. ; and therefore the latter name, 
which Rambur subsequently applied to a Corsican species, ought not to be 
used in its earliest application. He also (/. c. p. 148) describes his Sesia syn- 
agriformis, previously figured in part 1 (pi. 2. fig. 1), which he considers to 
be only a large variety of rhingiiformis, Hiibn. ; and {1. c. note) mentions that 
he cannot agree with Staudinger in placing rhingiiformis as a variety of ta- 
haniformis or asiliformis. He also describes Sesia tengiriformis (7 c. pp. 149, 
160), barely characterized by Boisduval (Gen. et Ind. Meth. p. 42), and sub- 
sequently confounded by Herrich-Schaffer with sanguhiolenta, Led., and by 
2d 2
