192 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



or black dorsal blotch, median curved towards costa, often indistinct, second waved, 

 distinct, followed by trapezoidal dark fuscous or black dorsal blotch ; a suffused dark 

 fuscous discal spot ; a suffused dark oblique apical streak. Hindwings deep orange; a 

 suffused irregular-edged dark fuscous basal patch, extending on costa to f ; a straight- 

 edged dark fuscous or black terminal fascia, attenuated beneath, hardly reaching tornus ; 

 cilia pale yellowish, base dark fuscous or black. Wings beneath more or less crimson- 

 suffused. (Plate V. fig. 8.) 



II specimens; 9 Olaa, Hawaii, at 2000 feet; 2 Hilo, Hawaii, at 2000 feet; in 

 January, June, September, November, and December. This and the following species 

 belong to the section often separated as a distinct genus under the name Choerocampa ; 

 they are apparently best distinguished from each other by the abdominal colouring. 



(3) Deilephila calida Butl. 



DeilepJiila calida Butl. Ann. Mag. N. H. (5) vii., 1881, p. 317. 



Head brown, with pale yellowish line above eyes. Thorax brown, margins of 

 patagia pale yellowish. Antennae dark fuscous, tips white. Abdomen dark brown, 

 beneath pale reddish, three basal segments black on sides except at base which is white, 

 three apical segments with yellow-whitish basal spot on sides. Forewings fuscous ; 

 basal area suffused with dark brown, more blackish dorsally, outer edge curved, dorsal 

 cilia on this area white ; indistinct darker transverse shades towards costa at ^ and f , 

 and a roundish dark brown discal spot between these ; second line pale yellowish- 

 ochreous except towards costa, nearly parallel to termen but sinuate inwards towards 

 dorsum, followed by a dark brown posteriorly suffused and irregular band, enclosing 

 a blotch of ground-colour on costa. Hindwings blackish-fuscous ; a rather irregular 

 vermilion-red postmedian band. 



No examples obtained by Mr Perkins ; I have described the type in the British 

 Museum, from Oahu. 



(4) Deilephila wilsoni Roths. 



Deilephila wilsoni Roths. Nov. Zool. i. p. 83. 



I have not seen this species, but according to the description it should be distinct 

 from either of the two preceding, though allied to them. The body (abdomen) is said 

 to be deep brown with a white border on each side. Locality Hawaii. 



(5) Deilephila lineata Fab. {livornica Esp.). 



5 specimens ; 3 Olaa, Hawaii ; i Kilauea, Hawaii ; i Molokai, at 3000 feet ; in 

 June, September and November. Also recorded by Mr Blackburn from Oahu, and 

 apparently rather common. This species is cosmopolitan in warm countries.
