c??. There is no constant difference in colour from Chj/lan; the belt of the 

 abdomen is verj- often narrower, being sometimes even absent, and the individuals 

 are generally rather smaller and less robust, which characters, however, do not at ail 

 apply to every specimen. Foretibia ending in a j>romincnt tlioni (PL LXIV. f I'i). 



(?. Ninth and tenth segments resembling those of lonyi, but mncli more 

 asymmetrical, the tenth sternite being moved towards the right side ; tenth tergite 

 (PI. XLIII. f. 8) divided by a longitudinal groove, the two halves separated only 

 at the tip, elongate, slightly tapering apicad, so twisted that the right lobe lies 

 higher than the left one, the latter is the shorter ; sternite {Xt) curved, lanceolate. 

 Right dasper (PI. LII. f 3) very large, ventral part of inner surface covered with 

 black hairs ; left clasper narrow, sides nearly parallel, apex somewhat dilated, sub- 

 truncate, ventral angle more rounded than ujiper one. Penis-funnel large. 



Larva and pupa figured by Semper, I.e.

3'.i'.». Cephonodes armatus spec. nov. 



c??. Similar in colour to C. juniis, but abdominal segments 5 and 6 with a 

 small red side-spot each, or S with a complete belt, and foretibia armed at end 

 witli a thorn as in piois. Yellow underside of abdomen greyish in middle. 



(?. Sexual armature as in pici/s, but the right-side clasper more sharply 

 truncate, with the inner edge less rounded.

Easily distinguished from piois by the underside of the abdomen and of the 

 tail being yellow. 



Two subspecies, which may turn out to be distinct from one another.
