PINE. LEAVES. 
269. Club-horned Capsus, Capsus clavatus, Linnaeus. (Hemiptera. Cap. 
sidse.) 
In July and August, common on the leaves of this and other 
trees, puncturing them and subsisting on their juices, a small 
oblong black bug, 0.20 long, with three silvery white transverse 
lines on its wing covers, the middle one longest, the middle 
joint of its antennaB long and towards its tip thickened and 
black, the last joint slender and white with its tip black, and 
the hanches of its legs also white. This bug is equally common 
here as in Europe. Its marks are so peculiar as to remove all 
doubts of its being one and the same species which inhabits 
both sides of the Atlantic. 
Several other species of bugs occur upon the pine, but as

270- Pine SrniNX, Sphinx Coniferarum, Smith and Abbot. (Lepidoptera. 
Sphingid®.) 
Eating the leaves of the pine -and other evergreens, a large 
cylindrical worm checkered with brown and white spots, with 
a whitish line along the middle of its back and a short lioin 
above on its hind part; burying itself in the earth to pass its 
pupa state, and producing a gray humming-bird moth, 1.75 to 
2.75 in width across its spread wings, its fore wings with about 
three narrow indented brownish bands, a spot near the middle, 
one or two streaks beyond the middle and the veins near the 
hind margin also brown, its hind wings blackish gradually 
fading into gray towards the base, their fringe spotted with 
brown and white, its abdomen gray with the sutures brown. 
This species is extremely rare in the State of New-York.

[Plate iii, fig. 4.] 
Eating the leaves in September, a large cylindrical grass-
