( 80ft ) 



being bordered with reil proxiiimlly, excejjt, (iii dorsum. Head large, conical, 

 with few granules laterally ; a blackisii brown frontal stripe on each side ; top 

 of head incised. Thoracical legs red and black. Horn red, black above, with 

 large dispersed granules. Anal tergite large, with dark-pointed dispersed tubercles. 



Deilephila minima (p. r)l3). 



Tiie British Museum lias lately received a series of specimens from Karwar. 

 The individuals agree in colour and size best with the tyj)e of in'm. ernentina, 

 while the armature of the j)eni8-sheath, whicli is variable, conforms to that of 

 mtn. minima, the right-side ])rocess being prominent and dentate. The occurrence 

 of such dark-coloured specimens in South India renders it probable that the 

 two individuals of minima minima, which is all that is known of that form, are 

 accidentally small and pale. Bred specimens of Drilephila are often pale in tints. 



Deilephila protrudens (p. 513). 

 The type (?) is labelled " Moluccas, Lonpiin " ; not Gilolo. 



Xylophanes xylobotes (p. C9i)). 



Among the unpublished drawings of Peters there is a tigure of the larva 

 and pupa of this species. The larva is green and agrees in shape with that of 

 X. ceratomioides, tapering strongly in front and having a small head. An 

 interrupted dorsal line and on each side a subdorsal one deeper green, the latter 

 ending at horn and forming posteriorly the upper border of a white stripe which 

 extends from horn to the tenth segment. A small white eye-spot on fourth 



segment. Traces of dark green oblique side-bauds. Pupa green ; a brown 



ventral mesial line ; stigmata also brown. 



Xylophanes ceratomioides (p. 692). 



Peters found on the plant (a small tree) on which he discovered the larva 

 of xi/lobotes the larva of another species, which is doubtless that of ceratomioidfs, 

 his ligure agreeing fairly well with Schaus's description, except in the figure 

 showing six oblique greyish side-bands and a small black ocellus encircled 

 with pale. 



Xylophanes hydrata (p. 706). 



There is now in the Tring Museum a S from the Province of Rio de Janeiro. 

 The specimen agrees with the ? ? in all essential points.
