It will be seen that here the Verzeiehniss is used as a guide exclu- 

 sively, and Arctonotus now heads the series. 



Boisduval, in 1874, in the Species General, Het. I, restricts his 

 Sphingides to the Legitimte, excluding the Sesiides, under the term 

 Endophytes as a separate family, following, in this respect, earlier 

 authors. 



The true Sphinges are divided into six tribes : 



I. — AcHERONTiDES, with the single genus Acherontla. 



II. — Smerinthides, with the genera BracJii/glossa, Metagastes, 

 C'lfi/miiHi, £vclea, Nyceryjc^ S'.nerintlius, Enrypteryx^ Basiana^ Dapli- 

 iiusa, Cypa and Ceratomia. All our North American species are in- 

 cluded in the generic term Smerinthus, none of the Hiibnerian or 

 Grotean terms being recognized. The genus Ceratomia is placed in 

 this tribe, quite contrary to previous and subsequent writers.
