Mr. Kirby in his Catalogue of Heterocera (i. p. 689) places Boisduval’s name as a 
synonym of P. diffusa, Butl., but in this 1 do not follow him. PP. petunie is stated! to

Protoparce jamaicensis (I. p. 21). 
According to Mr. Schaus (Ent. News, 1895, p. 142), who has examined the types, 
P. jamaicensis, Butl.= Sphinx nicotiane, Boisd. [Sp. gén. des Lép.i. p. 75 (1874)], 
the type of which was from Colombia; Boisduval’s name will therefore have to be 
used. In my opinion P. jamaicensis is very doubtfully. distinct from P. carolina, 
intermediate forms occurring.
