The species of this genus are widely distributed over the globe, Asia being the head 
quarters of the genus. Mr. Butler enumerates seventy-nine species in his paper on the 
Sphingide. I have described six from Central America, making eighty-five described 
species ; some of these, however, are of very doubtful value. 
1. Cherocampa trilineata. 
Cherocampa trilineata, Walk. Cat. xxxi. Suppl. p. 30°. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt).— VENEZUELA! ; TRINIDAD (mus. D.). 
I have only seen one specimen of this species from Central America, which agrees in 
all respects with the type. The Trinidad specimens are small and darker in colour, 
but do not differ in any other respect. 
2. Cherocampa libya. (Tab. II. fig. 5.) 
Cherocampa libya, Druce, Ent. Monthl. Mag. xiv. p. 249°. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, Chiriqui! (Arcé, mus. D.). 
The specimen from Nicaragua differs from the type, the orange band of the posterior 
wing being slightly narrower and more clouded with black. 
3. Cherocampa lelia. (Tab. II. fig. 4.) 
Cherocampa lelia, Druce, Ent. Monthl. Mag. xiv. p. 249°. 
Hab. Mexico (mus. Staudinger); Panama, Chiriqui! (Arcé, mus. D.). 
I have as yet only seen three specimens of this species. It is nearly allied to C. libya, 
but is smaller, the primaries much paler and narrower, the orange fascia of the secon- 
daries much wider, the black margin being very narrow and not reaching the apex. 
It resembles C. neoptolemus (Cr.) from Surinam, but wants the well-defined red band of 
the secondaries. 
4, Cherocampa porcus. 
Oreus porcus, Hiibn. Ex. Schmett. ii. t. 162. 
Darapsa porcus, Walk. Cat. viii. ‘p. 187. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger).—EcuaDor (mus. D.). 
5. Cherocampa salvini. (Tab. I. fig. 2.) 
Cherocampa salvini, Druce, Ent. Monthl. Mag. xiv. p. 249°.
