Scopoli based liis Macroglossuni on " stellatarum, etc." This " etc." can only 

 meauj'ucij'ormis and titi/us (or one of them), giuce he separated npiformi.i and allies 

 as Aegeria. Dalman described in 1816 Hemaris without taking any notice of 

 Macroglosfium, and included in bis genus only stellatarum, fucifonnis, and titgns. 

 Hemaris is, therefore, an absolute synonym of ALucroqlo.'tsiiin. 



(S ? . Gienal process large, triangular. Eye strongly lashed. Antenna strongly 

 clubbed in both sexes, hook thin, abrupt ; end-segment long, more or less cylindrical, 

 witli some bristles at end ; previous segment also cylindrical, short, or oblicjuely 

 produced ventrad with the sense-cone prominent {rubra). Spines of alxlomen flat, 

 very strong, proximal ones shorter than long (except on proximal sternites), 

 rounded ; sternite of seventh segment of ¥ with spines at end ; fan-tail large, 

 expansible. Foretibia with a few spines at apical edge, geuerallj' concealed by the 

 scales ; spur of foretibia long, only a little short of tip of tibia ; merum of midcoxa 

 produced into a sharp process, hindmerum also with process, but this obtuse ; spines 

 of comb of midtarsus not obviously prolonged ; spurs very unequal, long terminal 

 one longer than second tarsal segment ; first segment of hindtarsus shorter than 

 tibia ; pulvillus well developed or absent, with intergradations ; ventral pair of 

 paronychial lobes present, or vestigial, or absent. Distal edges of wings entire ; 

 forewing with transparent spaces, or at least with a sharply defined marginal band. 

 SO' and R' of hindwing from a point or shortly stalked, li- central or a little liefore 

 centre, cross-veins transverse, slightly curved, R^ and M' always separate. 



c?. Tenth tergite divided, slightly asymmetrical (PI. XLIII. f. 19 — 2()), some- 

 times the asymmetry more obvious {vcnata, PI. XLIII. f lU) ; sternite either with 

 two long i)rocesses, or the right process aborted, the remaining left process more or 

 less asymmetrical (PI. XLIII. f 20. 22. 23). Claspers unequal (PI. LL f. 17—21 ; 

 LII. f. 4. 5), elongate ; no friction-scales ; left harpe {l,H) always vestigial ; right 

 harpe (r,IJ) sometimes vestigial, but mostly produced into a more or less club-sliaped 

 process. Penis-funnel large, obliquely truncate, or ventrally prolonged ; penis- 

 sheath mostly very slender, ending in a pointed or flattened process, which is dentate 

 at end in one instance (gracilis), seldom {ft'/iafa) lieavy and armed with a dentate 

 projection (PI. LII. f. 5). 



?. Eighth tergite transverse, truncate-rounded, rather strongly chitinised also 

 in middle ; vaginal plate small, proximally membranaceous, vaginal orifice on the 

 left side ; membrane connecting seventli and eighth segments (resp. seventh 

 segment and vaginal plate) rather long, there being a cavity all round between the 

 two segments, allowing the tail a free movement. 



Lnrva slightly tajiering in front, with pale dots all over bearing short setae ;
