Early Stages.—The caterpillar, which resembles that of eiibiile, feeds upon various species of Cassia. The chrysalis is also much like that of eubiile. We need, however, fuller information than that which we possess, drawn, for the most part, from the pages of authors who wrote in the last century. The species occurs in the hot parts of the Gulf States, and is common throughout tropical America.

The primaries in the male are generally quite strongly falcate. Early Stages.—Nothing has, as yet, been sat- isfactorily ascertained in relation to these. The genus is not large, and is confined to the tropical regions of the New World, being represented in our fauna in the vicinity of the city of Brownsville, in Texas.
