CLARK — TWENTY-FIVE NEW SPHINGIDAE [ v3'.%?' 



Hind wing above: A dark brown distal marginal band, 1 mm. in width 

 at the anal ingle, broadens evenly until at the apex of wing it is 3 mm. 

 broad. Basad of this area the wing is crossed by a narrow dull pink band, 

 the veins however being darkly extended through this area as well as 

 through the marginal hand. This dull pink band fades away basad to the 

 dark brown tone of the fore wing above. 



lliml wing beneath: Reddish ferruginous, irrorated with black. A dark 

 median line extends from the median point of the inner margin toward 

 the anal margin, but fades away before reaching it. Midway between this 

 line and the distal margin are a series of vein dots. Another faint series 

 of vein dots lies midway between the median line and the heavier series. 

 A brown marginal band follows the line of the hind wing above. 



Theretra manilae sp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., 9 , 35 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9 , 14 mm. Marg. ext., 9 , 

 19 mm. 



Habitat. — Manila, Philippine Islands. One female in coll. B. Preston 

 Clark, received from Mr. E. Le Moult. 



Allied to T. rhesus Boisd., but much smaller and brighter 

 green. 



Antennae brown. Palpus light gray, with sparse black-tipped hairs; 

 second and third segments dull green. Head, thorax and abdomen above, 

 olive green, the latter shading to pink posteriorly (probably discolored!). 

 A light pink side stripe, bordered with green, extends along the eye and 

 back to the base of the abdomen. Mesothoracic tegulae tipped with light 

 yellow. A dark median stripe and two lateral stripes on the abdomen 

 above. Legs green. Breast and abdomen below light pinkish, thinly irro- 

 rated with black scales. 



Fore wing above: Olive green. Minute black stigma, smaller than in T. 

 rhesus Boisd. The six dark olive green lines are placed identically with 

 those of T. rhesus, except that the first antemedian line is straighter, 

 and approaches the inner margin more abruptly. The first and fourth 

 lines are heavier than the rest, while the sixth, the posterior one, is ac- 

 centuated by vein dots. 



Hind wing above: Burnt umber, unicolorous, save for a faint and ill- 

 defined dull pink submarginal band extending from anal angle toward the 

 costal margin but fading away before reaching it.
