Concerning this insect, Strecker says (Lepidoptera p. 59):—" This 4s certainly the rarest of all the heretofore described N". American Spkingidae ; but three authentic examples, all male, are known ; the first was figured and described by Kirby, in 1837, who did not know in what precise locality it was captured ; this example perhaps may still be preserved in the British museum

Kennicott at Rupert House, in British America, and is at present in the museum of Comp. Zool, at Cambridge ; this is the largest specimen of the three, expanding about three inches. The third and last, the original of figure 3, I received in a small collection of things from near Providence, Rhode ; Calasymbolus geminatus is abundant in Missisquoi county. Paonias excoecatus is plentiful in the Eastern Townships. The larvae are found on apple trees ; and the moth is taken at light. Of Gressonia jugla?idis, I have one specimen taken at Cowansville, and another taken at Quebec.
