narrow cream-coloured baud, which spreads out at the aual aaglc into a broad 

 light grey patch reaching neai-l}' to the base of the wing, while in the form I 

 am describing the base of the wings is black, and the rest is bright brownish 

 pink with a transverse, narrow, paler band, and the anal angle creamy bull". 



Head and thorax of the new form, deep mauve pink with chocolate side 

 patches, while in D. anguatans they are lavender grey with the side patches 

 bright olive. 



Abdomen deep olive brown in D. angustan^, while in the new form it is jiale 

 rosy brown.

Forewings pale ochraceous buff, with the nervnles blackish in the centre. 

 The costa dotted with black, and with two spots of the same colour near the 

 apex. A faint, almost obliterated dark line runs obliquely from the apex to the 

 third nervule, and there is a black patch at tlie angle of the inner margin. Near 

 the outer margin there are a large number of tiuy linear black dots. 



Hindwings brownish black, witli the front margin pale creamy buff. There 

 is a large submargiual ochraceous fascia, broadest at the anal angle, and bordered 

 with a narrow black Hue. 



Umhraldj; jiale ochraceous, base blackish brown, aud all wings freckled with 

 black and with two transverse rows of black spots. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochraceous bntf, with three brown fasciae uear 

 the base and sides of tlie thorax.

AMBULICIXAE. 



AMBLYPTERUS. 

 Amblgpterus pavonicus Moore was founded on specimens from the Andaman 

 Islands, but I have a large series from Java, Borneo, aud the Khasia Hills, aud 

 also a large series of A. panoptis (Stoll) from Bhutan, Ceylon, Java, Amboyna, and 

 elsewhere ; and from the intermediate character of many of tlie Borneo and Java 

 specimens 1 am compelled to unite the two species, and the single species must 

 stand as Amblgpterus panopus (Stoll). 



AMBULYX. 



In this genus, unfortunately, I have much to alter. A. meander (Boisd.) is not 

 an Ambulyx at all, but a true Marumba. I have all the intermediate forms between 

 A. Igcidas Boisd., A. cos (Burm.), and A. tUhonus Kirby, so these three names are 

 synonyms of one species, which must stand as Ambulgx Igcidas Boisd. 



There are also every intermediate between A. ochracea Butl. aud A. schaujfel- 

 bergeri Brem. and Grey, so the species must stand as Ambulgx schau/felbergeri 

 Brem. and Grey. Ambulgx thwaitesii (Moore) is identical with .^1. subocdlata 

 Feld., while on comparing Felder's type and a number of specimens of A. 

 auhocellata, collected by Mr. W. Doherty, with A. turbata Butl., I tind the latter to
