Acherojitia Atropos. — Common in Guernsey and Sark. 

 The larvae were abundant in the potato-fields in 1868, but I 

 have not often met with them since. 



Sphinx ConvolvuU. — In the autumn of 1868 this species 

 was very abundant in Guernsey, and a specimen was sent me 

 from Alderney. I have only taken two specimens since ; 

 one in 1870, and the other in 1871. 



S. Ligustri. — Not very common. I have taken a iew larvae 

 in Guernsey, feeding on privet, and one in Sark on laurel. 



Choerocampa Celerio. — Mrs. Boley reared two specimens, 

 from larvae found feeding on the vine in Guernsey. 



Macroglossa Stellatarum. — Abundant in Guernsey and 

 Sark.

Procris Statices. — Mrs. Boley found this species very 

 abundantly several years ago on the Guernsey cliffs, but 

 occupying a very limited area. I have not taken it myself or
