Mr. C. G. Anderson, of this city, has a friend who is an electric-light trimmer, and began last summer taking the insects that he could conveniently secure whilst on his rounds of duty. When looking over this material recently, Mr. Anderson observed a sphinx moth that seemed strange to him; so he brought it to me to determine, when it proved to be Dilophonota ello, Linn., which is the first reported appearance of this Southern moth that I have heard of since the autumn of 1886, when a number of specimens of it were taken by various persons in different parts of the country.
