Philampelus pandorus, Hub—The Satellite Sphinx. 
There are two caterpillars very much resembling each other; the 
,rva of this species, to which Dr. Harris gave the specific name 
tellitia , and the larva of the Achemon Sphinx, that are found in 
most all parts of the United States, on the wild and cultivated grape 
ines, and on the Virginia creeper. Harris, in his general descrip- 
on of them, says: “When young, they have a long and slender 
■il, recurved over the back like that of a dog; but this, after one or 
70 changes of the skin, disappears, and nothing remains of it but a 
aooth, eye-like, raised spot on the top of the last segment of the body. 
>me of the caterpillars are pale green, and others are brown, and the 
des of their body are ornamented by six cream colored spots of a 
oad oval shape, in the species which produces satellilia; narrow, 
r al and scalloped, in that which is transformed to the species 
lied achemon When full grown, the caterpillars are three inches or 
ore in length. There is only one brood during the season; the 
erms coming to their growth in August or the fore part of Septem- 
;r, and they come out as moths the following June and July. One 
at I received from Irvington, went into the ground September 15th. 
le moth expands from four to five inches." Head and middle of 
orax, pale olive green, a patch at the shoulders, dark olive; abdomen 
Je brownish, tinged with green, with a dark patch at the base', and 
lark line at the side. Fore wings, pale olive gray, darker at the 
ter anterior parts; three dark olive patches, one at the tip, a small- 
one at the posterior angle, the largest at the hind margin from base 
the middle. Hind wings, paler; a large black or dark olive spot 
:ar the middle of inner margin ; a submarginal band of the same, 
e anal part roseate or yellowish with dark spots.
