 1923 J CLARK — THIRTY-THREE NEW SPHINGIDAE 61 



Cizara schausi sp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., <?, 24 mm. Al. ant. lat., <?, 10 mm. Marg. ext., d\ 

 13 mm. 



Habitat. — Unknown. Two males in coll. B. Preston Clark (one the 

 type), received in exchange from the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, New York, and originally from the collection of my friend Dr. Wil- 

 liam Schaus. 



This insect is so closely allied to Cizara sculpta Felder that its 

 specific difference for a long time escaped me. 



Head, thorax and abdomen above uniformly olive green. The broad 

 median thoracic pink stripe and the prominent thoracic side stripes of C. 

 sculpta are lacking. 



Fore wing above: The marginal costal line, extending prominently in 

 C. sculpta from the wing base to the transverse postmedian line, is lacking. 

 Light-colored subbasal area is less prominent. Transverse postmedian 

 line is costally farther removed from the widest point of the light-colored 

 distal marginal band between Rl and R2, being at that point 3 to 4 mm. 

 distant from it; while in C. sculpta it ia but 1 mm. to 2.5 mm. distant. 

 Light-colored band along inner margin is narrower than in C. sculpta. 



Fore wing beneath: Much darker in tone than in C. sculpta, distal mar- 

 ginal band especially so. A prominent red line roughly follows the course 

 of anterior edge of distal marginal band on upper side of wing. 



Hind wing above: Markings at anal angle less prominent than in C. 

 sculpta. 



Hind wing beneath: More heavily irrorated with red than in C. sculpta; 

 distal marginal band darker in tone. 



Clasper of same shape as in C. sculpta, harpe more elongate, terminating 

 basad in a sharp point, instead of with the bluntness of C. sculpta. Penis 

 sheath more elongate than in C. sculpta. 



In other respects this insect follows the color and markings of Cizara 

 sculpta Felder.
