It will be seen that here the Verzeichniss is used as a guide exclu- 

 sively, and Arcfonotus now heads the series. 



Boisduval, in 1874, in the Species General, Het. I, restricts his 

 Sphingides to the Legitimee, excluding the Sesiides, under the term 

 Endophytes as a separate family, following, in this respect, earlier 

 authors. 



The true Sphinges are divided into six tribes : 



I. — Acherontides, with the single genus Acherontia. 



II. — Smerinthides, with the genera Bracht/glossa, Mefagastes, 

 C'l^i/miiHi, Eiidca, NyceryA\, SuierintJuiK, Eiirypteryx, Basi/ina, Dapli- 

 iiHsa, Cypa and Ccratomia. All our North American species are in- 

 cluded in the generic term tSmerintJins, none of the Hiibnerian or 

 Grotean terms being recognized. The genus Ceratomin is placed in 

 this tribe, quite contrary to previous and subsequent writers.
