66 CLARK — THIRTY-THREE NEW SPHINGIDAE [^ol'.^lil 



Sphecodina caudata angulilimbata subsp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., cf ,25 mm.; 9,28 mm. Al. ant. lat., d", 8 mm.; 9,9 mm. 

 Marg. ext., <f, 13 mm.; 9, 15 mm. 



Habitat. — Southeastern China. A series of males and of females, in- 

 cluding the types, in coll. B. Preston Clark, received from Mr. Rudolf Mell. 



The chief difference between this race and typical caudata is 

 in the hind wing above. The yellow is fainter, a pale orange, 

 distally somewhat transparent. The black distal border is dis- 

 tinctly narrower, above and beneath. 



Macroglossum semifasciata nigellum R. and J. 



Al. ant. long., 9, 25 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9, 10 mm. Marg. ext., 9, 

 14 mm. 



Habitat. — Woodlark Island, Papua. One female in coll. B. Preston 

 Clark, received from Mr. H. P. Schrader, Carlton, New South Wales. 



The male of this species was described in Novitates Zoologicae, 

 Vol. XXIII, p. 122, but, so far as I know, the female has re- 

 mained undescribed. It is similar to the male, but the vein 

 streaks connecting the brownish black basal area of the hind 

 wing with the distal border are faint, and on a number of the 

 veins entirely lacking. This gives the impression of a more 

 continuous yellow band on the hind wing. In this particular it 

 follows M. glaucoptera, in which the band on the hind wing is 

 much less interrupted and broader in the female than in the 

 male. 



Xylophanes juanita R. and J. 



Al. ant. long., 9 , 32 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9 , 12 mm. Marg. ext., 9 , 

 18 mm. 



Habitat. — San Pedro Sula, Honduras. One female in coll. B. Preston 

 Clark, collected by H. Fruhstorfer.
