ing July, wholly of a blue black color except the neck, which is 
bright orange yellow, its body ending in a broad fan-like notched 
tuft. Width 0.90. Much more common at the west and south 
than in New-York. See Harris’s Treatise, p. 257. 
122. Eigut-spotted Forester, Alypia 8-maculata, Fab. (Lepidoptera. 
AnthroceridseJ 
Hie last of June, a white or light blue cylindrical worm band¬ 
ed with black lines and on the middle of each ring a broader 
orange yellow band dotted with black, and posteriorly upon each 
side a conspicuous white spot; growing to 1.25 in length, leaving 
the vines about the middle of July, and inclosing themselves in 
slight webs upon the ground. The moth appearing in May, black 
with orange shanks, each of the fore wings with two large light 
yellow spots, the hind ones with two white ones. Width 1.00 to 
l. 50. This is a common insect at the south, and Mr. Calverley 
informs me he has frequently captured it around New-York. It 
has also been found occasionally in the vicinity of Albany. 
m. Beautiful wood nymph, Eudryas grata, Fab. (Lepidoptera. Noto- 
dontidae.) 
In July and August, a worm in all respects like the preceding 
one, except that it has no white spot on each side and is slightly 
humped above at its hind end; burying itself three or four inches 
in the ground, and there passing the winter in its pupa state, the 
moth coming out in July. This has the fore wings milk white, 
bordered behind, and also on their outer side from the base to the 
middle with rusty brown edged on the inner side with greenish 
olive, and with a wavy bluish white line on the hind edge at the 
base of the fringe; hind wings nankin yellow with a blackish 
brown border which does not extend to the outer angle. Width 
h65 to 1.85. See Harris’s Treatise, p. 330. 
Pkarl wood nymph, Eudryas unio, Hubner. 
This is equally as common as the preceding, and the worms are 
much alike that we as yet know not whether there are any 
marks whereby they can be distinguished from each other. The 
moths too are very similar, but the present species is somewhat 
61I id ler, and has the border of the wings paler and of a tawny
