roundedly elevated and is stouter, while the prothoracic pieces are 

 narrower. The abdomen is broader and shorter, furnished with 

 short, even, separated, lateral hair tufts, closer and more squarely 

 cut. The anterior wings are stronger, broader and larger ; internal 

 margin straighter ; external margin proportionally longer, less evenly 

 rounded, more excavate before internal angle and more produced me- 

 )dially. The costa at apex is more depressed. The 

 second median nervule is equidistant from the first 

 and third at external margin, whereas in Macroylos- 

 Anterior wing of guvi it is much nearer the third than the first, leav- 

 nafurai lize.^^^' ing the interspace between the first and second me- 

 dian nervules much wider than the rest. 



The posterior wings are relatively much larger, external margin 

 straighter, hardly excavated before anal angle. 



The ornamentation differs, and is sui generis. The primaries are 

 complexedly mottled and banded ; the secondaries crossed by a narrow 

 yellow band, neatly defined, very different from the ornamentation of 

 the posterior wings in Acllnpos and Mncrorjhssum; the abdomen is 

 ornamented with neatly-defined maculations.

A single specimen in indifferent condition. I express the hope that 

 the Society will be able to obtain better material of this handsome 

 species described by Prof Poey in 1832 (1837 Clem.) and dedicated 

 by him to M. Ramon de la Sagra. Eupyrrhoglossum Ceculus 

 (Sphinx Ceculus Cramer, PI. 146, fig. Gr) from Surinam, is congenerical 

 with the present species, while apparently sufiiciently distinct specifi- 

 cally, to prevent its being confounded with E. sarjra. Dr. Clemens 

 seems to have been acquainted with both species. Prof. Poey's figure 

 appears to me. indeed with all the Plates in the •' Centurie de Lepidop- 

 teres," to be most excellent in every respect. The position of this genus 

 may undergo some slight change when a more comprehensive study of 

 this family, embracing its representatives from different Zoological Pro- 

 vinces, is undertaken. The condition uf the specimen has prevented 

 a thorough examination of the posterior wings.
