 This moth expands about one inch and three-quarters. 

 The wings are transparent, with a broad reddish-brown hind 

 margin, and the base and costa are black, tinged with green. 

 Fore-wings with a reddish-brown central streak across the 

 end of the discoidal cell. The third and fourth abdominal 

 segments are reddish-brown, but the fifth and sixth are more 

 yellowish ; the anal tuft is black at the sides and yellow in the 

 middle. The larva is pale green with yellowish dorsal and 

 lateral lines, with brownish-red spiracles, and a brownish-red 

 or orange-coloured curved horn. It feeds on honeysuckle. 

 The pupa is dark brown, with brownish-red incisions. In 

 freshly emerged specimens the wings are covered with a fine 

 reddish-grey dust. 



The Broad-bordered Bee Hawk-moth is widely distributed 

 through Europe and Asia, but appears to be commoner in the 

 south than in the north. 



Some confusion exists as to the correct names to be ap[)lied 

 to this and the next species ; but I have shown in the " Ento- 

 mologist " for February, 1896 (vol. xxix., pp. 39, 40^ that the 

 broad-bordered species is the true S. fiiciforniis of Linnaeus.
