Lepidopterological Notes And Descriptions: No. 2, Read October 9Th, 1865 by Augustus Radcliffe Grote and Coleman T. Robinson offers a formal, taxonomic survey of North American Lepidoptera as presented in the mid-19th century. The work compiles extensive notes and descriptive plates on multiple genera, detailing wing patterning, coloration, venation, and other morphological characters of adult moths, as well as mature larval descriptions in certain species. It introduces and codes several new species (noted as sp. nov. or nov. sp.) across genera such as Parorgyia, Adelocephala, Datana, Acronypia, and Catocala, with careful comparisons to related taxa and synonymy discussions prompted by Packard’s Synopsis and Abbott’s figures. Habitats and collection data accompany many descriptions, and larval notes accompany adult illustrations, illustrating the authors’ approach to systematic lepidopterology. The document, part of the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia (1866), also includes errata and plate annotations that guide later study and verification of these classifications.
