S. Allied to Dol/jinri, of which it is a development. I'alptis small, rilit'er 

 witii a few bristles as in J>. inr.iriefa. Antenna! segments not quite touehing one 

 another ventrally, penultimate segment longer than high. Foretibia ending in 

 a naked t/iorn ; no pulvilhis, paronychium scarcely indicated ; first segment of 

 foretarsus longer than tibia (thorn excluded), shorter than segments 2 to .5 

 together ; tibiae rather smoothly scaled ; midtibia much longer than first tarsal 

 segment ; spurs very short, two pairs to hindtibia, the ])roximal pair almost 

 concealed under the scaling. S(J- and li^ of hind wing separate ; R- from centre 

 of cell. Sexual armature of tlie Dolhina type. 



? . Unknown. 



Larva and chrysalis unknown. 



Hab. N.W. India. 



One species. 



The presence of the thorn on the foretibia and the absence of the pulvilhis and 

 the paronychial lobes are the outcome of that kind of development accompanied by 

 reduction which we find so often among the Sphingicae. 



r,'7. Dolbinopsis grisea.

S . Resembles in pattern the species of Dolhina. Tentli abdominal tergite 

 (PI. XXVII. f (!) broad, obtusely triangular, curved downward distally, more 

 suddenly narrowed from the point of curvature to the end; sternite (PI. XXVII. 

 f. 7) with a divided lobe, the two halves slender. Clasper without patcli of 

 modified scales, broadly rounded, broadest beyond middle (PI. XXXIX. f 10); 

 harpe with a fiuger-like ventro-distal process, and two dorsal processes, of which 

 the ])roximal one is the narrower. Penis-funnel obliquely truncate ; penis-sheath 

 (PI. XXVIII. f. 3!J) armed with a horizontal tooth pointing sinistro-laterad ; on the 

 inner side of the sheath opposite the tootii there is a patch of sjiines, which are
