Mr. Walker, in transcribing the generic name Erinni/is, from Hiib- 

 ner, has altered it to En'nnjjs — for what reason I know not. As is the 

 case with Halisidota and Ampli/pterus, which read Haleaidota and 

 Ambh/pterus in the Cat. B. M., I presume it is the result of a simple 

 error of transcription.

I Cjinnot see any affinity to Perigonia in this genus, composed of one 

 of the smallest species in the family, although the color of the posterior 

 wings recalls that genus. Their shape, and the general structure of the 

 species, show that the position Mr. Walker has assigned to it, is approxi- 

 mately correct, while its position here, from want of intermediary genera, 

 is somewhat isolated. 



I give here a List of the species of Cuban Sphingidse, that I have 

 become autoptically acquainted with through the Collection of Prof. 

 Poey. I am led to believe that the latter embraces the great majority of 

 the species of this family found on the Island of Cuba, since it is the result 

 of investigations carried on for a series of years. It does not however 

 include all the known species taken on the Island, while the Numbers 

 119, 65:^, 834 and 1017, of Prof. Poey's MSS. Catalogue, remain un- 

 represented by specimens. In regard to the occurrence of a species of 

 the genus Sesia Walk., in Cuba, Prof. Poey writes : "' (No. 834,) thishe 

 Fab., — Nous n'avons pas retrouve cette espece; elle a ete prise a la 

 Havanne par M. Coulanges; je I'ai vue dans la collection de M. Rip- 

 pert, a Paris." 



While I have given in the present article the Numbers of Prof. 

 Poey's MSS. Catalogue, which accompanied the insects, I have not 

 thought it necessary to give the MSS. determinations of the Professor,
