?. The ti/jje of this species is in tlie Tring Museum. It was bouglit some years 

 ago from a dealer iu Paris. The specimen is labelled iu Guerin's handwriting 

 " Macroylossum trochilus Guer. ie. R. a. (type) Maurice." The specimen in the 

 Dublin Museum mentioned by Kirby, Lc, as cya»/ri.s, and figured iu Waterhouse, 

 Aid, belongs to the jiresent species, not to jan us. The locality " Silhet" of this 

 specimen is erroneous. C. trochibts is similar in structure to hjlas, in colour to 

 janus and xanthvs. Abdomen without belt, washed with tawny, especially behind, 

 underside of breast and abdomen cadmium-yellow, underside of palpus whitish, 

 of tail yellow, tip of tail tawny-chestnut, side-tuft partly black. Foretibia without 

 thorn at end. Tenth tergite with the apical curved part longer than in C. lu/las 

 virescens, resembling more that of C. hylas cunningJumi. Claspers as in Jvjlas 

 cunninghami, but the upper lobe of the left claspcr narrow, intermediate in shape 

 between those oi' ki/lns virescens and hylas cunninghami.
