Family SPHINGTD.E. 

 Sub-Family CHOEROCA MPINjE. 



PaNACRA RrTnEHFORDI. 



Pj'imaries above dark brown, speckled with reddish-brown along the costal 

 margin, crossed from the apex to near the base bj a wide, pale-coloured, straight 

 band, bordered on each side by fine blackish lines, the apical margin slightly dentated : 

 secondaries dark brown, paler at the base ; body pale brown. Under-side, uniform 

 dull brown, thickly speckled with pale ochreous scales. Expanse of wings, 3 in. 



Hah.: West Africa, Cameroons (Rutherford). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



This species resembles P. vigil, Gruer., but is easily distinguished 



by the straight baud of the primaries and much darker colour. 



ClIOiROCAMPA GODMANI. 



Primaries dai'k greyish-brown at the base, which colour extends beyond the 

 middle, the apical third ochreous, clouded with dark brown ; several indistinct lines 

 crossing the wings from the inner margin to the black discal dot. Secondaries 

 shining dark slaty-brown, the outer margin dark brown, and a small ochreous spot 

 close to the anal angle ; head, thorax, and abdomen above, dark brown, the sides 

 black, bordered above with red, and beneath with white lines, under-side pale brown. 

 Under-side of primaries dark brown, richly clouded with red and yellow scales near 

 the apex ; secondaries greyish-brown, crossed in the middle by three indistinct dark 

 lines speckled with reddish scales. Expanse of wings, 3f in. 



Hah. : Panama, Yolcano de Chiriqui (Champion) . 



I have only seen one specimen of this species : it is very distinct 

 from any that I am acquainted with, but comes nearest Ch.falco. I 

 hope shortly to figure it in the " Biologia Centrali- Americana." 



Daphnis andama:n^a. 



Much like D. Horsfieldii, but rich red-brown ; primaries crossed beyond the 

 middle by a broad, dark brown band, palest on the outer margin, a dark brown spot 

 close to the base in the middle of the wing. Secondaries chocolate-brown, crossed 

 by a sub-mai'ginal pale brown line from the middle of the costal margin to the anal 

 angle. Under-side pale reddish-brown, both wings crossed by four darker waved 

 lines ; head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown. Expanse of wings, 21 in. 



Hah. : Andaman Islands. Mus. Druce. 



This species seems somewhat intermediate between i>. Horsjieldii 

 and D. Baga, but more closely allied to the latter. 



Daphxis torenia. 

 Primaries fawn-colour, crossed beyond the middle by a broad brown band, and 

 mottled with brown to near the apex ; a large, oval-shaped, brown spot close to the 

 base ; theinner half white, with a small black dot in the middle. Secondaries rich 

 choeolate-red, excepting the basal third, which is almost black ; an indistinct 

 whitish line, close to the anal angle, extending nearly to the middle of the wing.
