Kirby indicates as species of Cuba on page 607, No. 203, and 

 p. 608, No. 223, the two following species : 



Hesperia Labeo. Poey. cent. Lep. 1833, and Sagra, 1857. 

 " Ulpianus. Poey. cent. Lep. 1833, and Sagra, 1857. 

 but Poey does not indicate the country as Cuba. For Labeo he 

 says " Elle habite * * -^ " and for Ulpianus, " Brezil."

DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME NEW SPECIES OF 

 HETEROCERA. 



By Henry Edwards. 

 FAM. SPHINGID^. 



Sphinx Libocedrus. n. sp. 



At first sight looking like a small example of Spli. Oreo- 

 daphne, but differing greatly when carefully examined. Color the 

 same as that of SpJi. Chersis, with the same black dashes upon 

 the primaries, that along the median nervule, which is frequently 

 wanting in Oreodaphne, and sometimes in CJiersis, being here well 

 defined and reaching almost to the base of the wing. The ground 

 color of the secondaries is a clearer white, and the median black 

 band stands out in stronger contrast than in either CJiersis or 

 OrcodapJinc, while the grey dorsal space of the abdomen, tra- 

 versed by a black line, is narrower than either of the other forms, 

 and the demi-band comparatively larger, and clearer white. In 

 Chersis and Oreodaphne, the thorax has the tegulse edged in- 

 wardly with black, in the form of a long triangle. In Libocedrus, 

 this mark is present, and in additition, the tegulae themselves 

 have a distinct black streak, reaching to the base of the head, not 

 observable in either of the others. The under side of the wings 

 is paler grey, with the median band of the secondaries very 

 strongly marked.
