Roseau, Dominica, B. W. I.

The accompanying plate has been prepared from sketches of Dominican caterpillars which I made from nature. The adults were determined by Dr. Dyar of the U. S. National Museum. The following species are represented:

Fig. 1. Xylophanes tersa Linnaeus.

2. Protoparce harterti Rothschild.
