62 CLARK — THIRTY-THREE NEW SPHINGIDAE [vS'^VIIl' 



coll. B. Preston Clark, collected by Mr. George F. Leigh, September to 

 December, 1921. 



This is a smaller and shorter-winged insect than the typical 

 form. The chief differences are observed in the upper side of 

 the fore wing. 



Fore wing above: There is less contrast between the dark and light por- 

 tions of the wing than in N. accentifera Beauvois, and less yellow irrora- 

 tion. In N. accentifera the area between the geminate subbasal line of the 

 fore wing and the irregular geminate median line, is variegated. In N. 

 accentifera comoroana the entire area between the anterior subbasal line 

 and the posterior median line is uniformly dark brown, save for the silvery 

 markings and a light brown semilunar area on the costal margin. 



The light-colored postmedian band, which in N. accentifera is irregular 

 and much obscured mesially, in this form extends evenly from costal to 

 inner margin, with no mesial break. 



Temnora camerounensis sp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., 9, 20 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9, 8 mm. Marg. ext., 9, 

 11 mm. 



Habitat. — Cameroun. One female in coll. B. Preston Clark, received 

 from Mr. J. J. Joicey, without exact statement of locality. 



This species is near T. rattrayi R. and J. Dr. Karl Jordan, to 

 whom I sent the specimen for his judgment, says "close to 

 rattrayi, but the markings not exactly the same." As the tip 

 of the abdomen is lacking, it is not possible to say surely whether 

 this is a subspecies of T. rattrayi or not. My belief is that it is 

 a distinct form. It is most easily described by comparison with 

 T. rattrayi. 



The fore wing is narrower. The length of the fore wing of a female of 

 T. rattrayi used in comparison is 20 mm., and the exterior margin 11 mm., 

 the same as in T. camerounensis. The width of the fore wing is 9 mm., 

 instead of the 8 mm. of T. camerounensis. 



Fore wing above: The brown triangle, with its base on the costal mar- 

 gin, has in T. rattrayi the side toward the wing apex perpendicular to the
