7. Sphingonaepiopsis ansorgei s{)ec. nov. 



S ■ Body greyish salmon-bnff, mottled with cinnamon-rufons at the bases of 

 the abdominal segments. Longest pectinations of antenna about three times as long 

 as they arc broad in middle. 



Wings, tippei-side. Forewing : not irregular at distal margin, very feebly 



emarginate between the posterior veins, straight at costal margin in middle ; apex 

 a little less than 90° ; a grey basal area, wider at costal than at hinder margin, 

 limited by a cinnamon-rnfous band of several ill-defined lines, the inner line crossing 

 M at base of M', the outer crossing subcostals at fork SC^-^, the band mottled with 

 black scales ; in middle of grey area a thin line of lilack and cinnamon-rufous scales ; 

 a trace of another line near base ; outer half of wing pinkish grey, salmon-bnff at 

 hinder angle, a broad line of cinnamon-rnfous and black scales nearl}' parallel to 



distal margin, about halfway between margin and subcostal fork. Hindwing : 



salmon-bnff; distal edge brownish. 



Underside rnfous salmon irrorated with brown scales. Forewing less 



bright than hindwing, shaded with clay-colour ; a small white stigma on both 

 wings ; a broad brown distal marginal band to forewing ; edge of hindwing also 

 brown ; M' of hindwing midway between M- and W. 



Tenth tergite long, spatulate, sinuate at apex ; tenth sternite triangular, 

 black like the tergite, acuminate. Harpe consisting of a heavy, tapering, pointed 

 process which is proximally tricarinate, the upper carina or ridge being almost 

 detached from the process ; penis-sheath with a broad spatulate apical lobe which 

 is curved laterad.

8. Macroglossum augarra spec. nov. 



? . Allied to M. passages (Revision p. 004). Upperside of head and thorax 

 slaty grey, a deep black mesial stripe from palpi to metanotum ; a black lateral 

 stripe occupying mesothoracic tegula and extending forward to near tip of palpus ; 

 end-segment of antenna very long and thin ; abdomen with deep chrome spot on 

 segments 3 and 4, small white lateral tufts on segments 2 and 3, a larger chrome 

 and white one on 4, tuft of 5 again larger, chrome, feebly tipped with white, tuft 

 of blackish chestnut, nearly black above, of 7 fulvous distally, tipped with white; 

 a pair of black dorsal patches on tergites 2 to 5, a black belt on 0, and a large 

 black mesial spot on 7 ; tail black above, faintly chestnut, mummy-brown beneath ; 

 palpus white beneath, irrorated with brown, a white line at eye on first segment ; 

 breast walnut-brown, paler in middle, abdominal sternites reddish chestnnt. 



Wings, upperside. Forewing : basal area blackish slaty grey, darker than 



thorax, limited by a straight deep black band which widens basad at hindmargia 

 of wing ; outside this band a purplish grey band which is wider than the black one 

 and includes close to its distal edge a black line ; then follows a somewhat shadowy 

 black discal band, which is ill-defined and is produced distad behind R' ; halfway
