I obtained the species at Shimonoseki and Gensan in 
July ; there were specimens from Oiwake in Pryer’s col- 
lection and I have received others from Hakodate, also 
from Chang-yang, Kiukiang, Omei-shan and Wa-shan. 
Japanese and Chinese specimens (/ewisii, Butl.) are 
rather more rosy than, but do not otherwise differ from, 
European examples.

Deilephila proxima, Austaut, Le Nat., 1892, p. 69. 
A common species in Japan. Some specimens were 
bred in the Insect House at the Zoological Society’s 
Garden, London, from pupze which I brought from 
Yokohama, where I found the larva feeding commonly on 
taro and balsam. 
I received several specimens from Ichang taken in 
August. 
Austaut redescribes this species under the name 
“ D. proxima,” comparing it with japonica, Staud., no doubt 
intending japonica, Boisd. His description undoubtedly 
applies to C. oldenlandizx, Fabr., to which he does not refer.
