 (PI. XXVlll. f. 05) produced into a flat apical process.

Larva (accord, to Boisduval's figure) : green, middle of tergites (except first 

 two) red, sidc^s with two rows of white patches. 



Pujia (accord, to Boisd.) without free tougue-case.

The species shares witli Afz-eus jdebeja the short first protarsal segment and 

 the long spurs to the hiudtiljia, with Ili/loicus the absence of a pulvillus and 

 the structure of the sexual armature, with Ceratomia the absence of spines from 

 the tibiae, absence of a pulvillus, and the short first j^rotarsal segment. A 

 derivation from Ceratomia.

<?. This almost nniforml}' brown insect is easily recognised by the nearly 

 longitudinal black double line which runs on the forewiug from K^ to M^ 



Rare in collections. The two specimens recorded by Edwards were caught 

 in May ; as they were rubbed, Edwards concludes that the species emerges from 

 the chrysalis earlier in the year.

c? ? . Tongue longer than the body ; comb of pilifer white, not yellow, the 

 bristles flattened. Antenna of ? without prolonged ciliae, slightly but distinctly 

 clubbed. Tibiae ?iot spinose ; foretarsus as in Ceratomia with short first segment 

 which is armed with long spines ; midtarsus with comb ; long terminal spur of 

 hindtibia about fonr-fifths the length of the first tarsal segment, this shorter than 

 tibia ; no pulvillus ; paronychium with one lobe on each side. 



Early stages nnknown. 



Hub. Cuba ; Jamaica ; Yucatan. 



One species. 



The presence of the midtarsal comb, the long tongue, the specialised comb 

 of the pilifer and the slightly clubbed antenna of the ? remove this genus from 



the branch Cklaenoqramma \ ^ 'It is an independent otfshoot from 



•^ llsogramma. 



Protoparce, being differentiated from it, inter alia, by the shortness of the first 



protarsal segment.
