A well-marked form of P. carolina, being always larger, and the secondaries with a

5. Protoparce paphus. 
Sphinz paphus, Cr. Pap. Ex. iii. t. 216. f. B*.

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, mus. D.).—GuIaNa, Surinam 1; Brazi?. 
I have only seen a single specimen of this insect. It is closely allied to the pre- 
ceding species, from which it differs in having the anterior wings very much 
darker in colour, more thickly marked with black lines, and the posterior wings 
much blacker. 
7. Protoparce cingulata. 
Sphinx cingulata, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 5457. 
Sphina convolvuli, Drury, Ill. Nat. Hist. t. 25. f. 4 (nec Linn.) *.

This is a widely ranging species and varies to some extent in “the colour of the 
secondary wings. In some specimens these wings are almost pink, in others greyish, 
closely resembling those of P. convolvult, Linn.
