Ambulyx scxoculata Grote is not a variety of A. gannascus. The description 

 given by Grote agrees exacth- with the beautiful insect figured by Oberthiir as 

 ^'1. depuiaeti, Ft. (FEnt. VI. p. 31. t. 5. f. 3 (1881). I possess three specimens from 

 Colombia and Merida, Venezuela ; tlie one f'olomliian example was caught by 

 Professor Burger in Bogota, in December 1800, at the electric light. The name of 

 depuiseti sinks as a synonj-m oi sexocnlnta. 



A. crpthon Boisd. from Peru (?) and i<chau»i Rothsch. from Petropolis are the 

 same species as A. enrysthenea Feld. from Colombia, though they represent most 

 likely geographical forms. Felder's name has priority.
