The Malagassic iSphingidae are thoroughly Africau, the ouly species iudi- 

 cating an affinity with India not shared by the African Continent being 

 llippotioii (jerjjon, which is close to the Indo-Australiau iv/ar, aud Maassetiia 

 hei/deni, which stands intermediate between Nephele and the Oriental genus 

 Acosmcri/x. The existence of four species of Cephonodes in the Subregion aud of 

 live }[acro(jlosstim, while Africa has only one species of each genus, is a striking 

 feature of the fauna, which, however, does not demonstrate a closer affinity with 

 India or with Australia, but is the consequence of the Subregion being an 

 Archipelago, and the wide separation of the islands offering a condition for 

 the development of special species. The various species of Cephonodes and 

 Xlacroylosmm, indeed, do not occur over all the islands, and most of them are 

 ipiite restricted in range. The similarity between the Malagassic and Oriental 

 fannae is much inferior to that existing between the African Continent and 

 India. However, the few affinities which there are, taken together with the 

 presence of African genera in India, and of Oriental ones in Africa, prove a 

 rather close connection between the Aethiopian and Oriental faunae, each having 

 iwofited from the other. There is no such agreement between Africa and 

 South America. These Continents have no genus in common except the two
