Previously to the publication of Mr. Butler’s paper referred to above, most of the 
genera and species of this subfamily were included in the Zygenide. I quite agree 
with Mr. Butler that the Charideine are more closely allied to the Arctiide than to the 
Zygenide, though really forming a connecting link between the two.

and Central America.

I have very little doubt that the insects figured by Cramer as Sphinx heber and 
S. halys are the sexes of one species—an opinion confirmed by Mr. Grote, who, in his 
notes upon the Zygenide of Cuba, says that Prof. Poey sent them as the sexes of a 
single species. The Cuban examples in my collection are in all respects similar to those 
from Guatemala. The species seems liable to a certain amount of variation. In some 
examples the alar band is very narrow and broken into spots; in others it is wide, 
crossing the primaries from the costa to near the anal angle.
