NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 73 



the same publication (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, v), is an elaborate paper : 

 " A Synonymical Catalogue of North American Sphingidae, with 

 notes and descriptions," by Messrs. Grote & Robinson, which marks 

 a decided epoch in the American history of the family. A number 

 of new genera and species are described, some errors of synonymy 

 corrected, while Walker's bibliography is pretty generally quoted in 

 full. The divisions are not defined, nor is any reason given for the 

 particular arrangement adopted. The scheme is as follows : 



Family SPHINGID.E. 



Tribe MACROGLOSSIN^. 

 Genera Lepisesia, Sesia, Hiemorrhagia, ^iJlIopos, Eupyrrhoglossum 

 (Cuban), Th>/reus, Amphion, Deidamia, Proserpiyuis, Euproscrpinus, 

 Eni/o, Hemeroplanes, Perigonia^ Callionima (the last three Cuban). 



Tribe CHCEROCAMPINI. 

 Genera Otus, Darapsa, Fergesa (Cuhnu), Chcerocampa^ De.ilcphila, 

 Philaynpeliis, PacJii/lia, Amhnlyx (Cuban).

In 1873, in the Buffalo Bulletin I, 17, Mr. Grote gives a list of 

 the American Sphingidte, differing in toto from the preceding, no 

 reason for the change being given. The scheme here is :

Subfamily BombyliyE Hiibner. 



Tribe VULGARES Hiibner. 

 Genera Arctonotus, Lepisesia, Hemaris, HiemorrJuigia, ^Ellopos, 

 Euproserp inus.
