that it is synonymous with Hespcria. This necessitates changing the 

 name of the subfamily PamphilincE to Hesperus. As in the case of 

 the LycanidcB, we feel that it is both unnecessary and inadvisable to 

 change the name of the family, as has been done by Hampson (Nov. 

 Zool. XXV, 386). 



SPHINGID.E. 



Phlegethontius Hbn. Logotype Sphinx sexta Joh. 



1820. Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett, 140, cluentius, Carolina and others. 

 1892. Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. I, 688, cites sexta {Carolina) as type. 

 1903. Rothschild and Jordan, Rev. Sphing. I, 52, cite cluentius as type and 

 place the name under Cocytius. 



Kirby's appears to be the first type fixation, and will re-establish 

 the use of this genus for the species now listed under Protoparce. 



Atreides Holland, new name for Atrens Grt., type Sphinx plebeja Fab., pre- 

 occupied in Arachnida. 

 1903. Holland Moth Book 49, calls attention to the incorrect use of Atreus by 

 Rothschild and Jordan and proposes the new name, which has since 

 been overlooked. 



Hyloicus Hbn. Logotype Sphinx pinastri, Linn. 



1820. Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett. 138, pinastri and others. 

 1873. Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci. I. 27, cites pinastri as type. 



Takes the place of Sphinx, which has been incorrectly used as 

 explained under that genus. 



Phryxus Hbn. Logotype Sphiftx caicus Cram. 



1820. Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett, 137; livornica (lineata) and caicus. 

 1892. Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. I, 697, cites caicus as type. 

 1903. Rothschild and Jordan, Rev. Sphing. II, 713, cite lineata, following 

 the first species principle. 



Grammodia R. & J. Orthotype Sphinx caicus Cram. 



1903. Rothschild and Jordan, Rev. Sphing. I. 371; caicus designated 

 type. 



This matter needs no further explanation. 



Calliomma Wlk. Logotype Sphinx parce Fab. 



1856. Walker, List. Lep. Ins. B. M. VIII, 108, nomiiis, licastus and others. 

 1892. Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. 646, cites licastus as type. This species, accord- 

 ing to R. & J., is synonymous with parce Fab. 

 1903. Rothschild and Jordan, Rev. Sphing. I, 387, cite nomius as type. 



Rothschild and Jordan use H enter oplanes Hbn. for parce, citing pan 

 as type. Kirby in 1892, however, designated triptolemus as type of 

 this genus, so that it replaces Leucorhampha R. & J., dropping out of 

 our fauna, and is itself replaced by Calliomma. 



Hemaris Dalman. Orthotype Sphinx fuciformis Linn. 



1816. Dalman Vet. Akad. Handl. XXXVII, 207, fuciformis designated type. 

 Haemorrhagia G. & R. Logotype Sesia thy she Fab. 



1865. Grote and Robinson, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. V, 149; gracilis, ruficaudis, 



thysbe, fuscicaudis. 

 1873. Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci. I, 18, cites thysbe as type.
