M 1923 12 ] CLARK — THIRTY-THREE NEW SPHINGIDAE 75 



Cephonodes banksi sp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., 9, 30 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9, 11 mm. Marg. ext., 9, 

 18 mm. 



Habitat. — Baguio, Benguet, Philippine Islands. One female (the type) 

 in coll. B. Preston Clark, taken February 17, 1910, by Mr. J. P. Iddings, 

 and sent to me by Mr. C. S. Banks of Manila, for whom it is named. 



This interesting species is allied to C. rothschildi Rebel and 

 to C. titan Roth. The abdomen of C. rothschildi is green and 

 unicolorous above, while that of C. titan is black and unicolorous. 

 This form stands midway, with three green segments, a dark 

 red band, and black posterior segments. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above, including segment 3, greenish yellow 

 (probably faded from green). On abdominal sternite 4 a narrow dark red 

 band. Remaining posterior segments of the abdomen coal-black. Tip of 

 tail yellow as in C. rothschildi, but less markedly so. Palpi uniformly yel- 

 low. No white ring around the eye as in C. rothschildi. Breast and legs 

 deep yellow, not orange as in C. rothschildi. Abdomen beneath coal-black 

 except at tip, which is yellow. 



Wings in all respects similar to those of C. rothschildi, except that the 

 distal border of that species is lacking entirely even at the wing tip. The 

 anal border of the hind wing is narrower, and less extended toward the 

 anal angle, than in C. rothschildi. 



Xj'lophanes transpacifica sp. nov. 



Al. ant. long., 9, 43 mm. Al. ant. lat., 9, 18 mm. Marg. ext., 9, 

 24 mm. 



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

 Clark, taken by Mr. W. Schultze, and received by me in exchange from the 

 Bureau of Science at Manila. 



This remarkable insect is, so far as I know, the first specimen 

 of the genus Xylophanes, that has been taken outside of the
