62 CLARK — NEW SPHINGIDAE 
Libyoclanis hollandi sp. nov. 
Plate VII, figure 3. 
Al. ant. long., 9, 56mm. AI. ant. lat., 9, 21mm. Marg. ext., 9, 
33 mm. 
Habitat. — Medje, Congo. One female in coll. B. Preston Clark. 
Head and thorax reddish brown. Abdomen wood-brown above, with 
narrow transverse bands at base of tergites of darker tint; lighter below. 
Ill-defined white lateral patch at base, shading into yellow on second and 
third tergites. Antennae short, brown. 
Fore wing above: Produced at apex into a prominent lobe, as in L. 
bainbridgei, about 4 mm. long, measured from tip of SC5. Wood-brown 
with lighter shading; basal area bright red-brown, extending anteriorly 
to apex of cell, and posteriorly nearly to the inner angle. A sharply marked 
lunulate apical area from tip of lobe to SC5, 2 mm. wide on this vein. The 
line bordering this area costad, extends to R3, sharply angled on R2, reach- 
ing R3 20 mm. from distal margin. Black stigma, 1 mm. in diameter, at 
apex of cell on D2. Distal margin deeply incurved below the tip, thence 
regularly and strongly convex nearly to the base of the wing, with no ob- 
vious hinder angle; slightly incurved toward the base; notched on the 
veins. Two obscure lines, distant on costal margin 12 mm. and 20 mm. 
from tip, broadly lunulate between the veins, extend from costal margin 
diagonally to R2. Cilia brown. 
Hind wing above: Dark wood-brown, somewhat lighter toward inner 
margin. Light pink band, 2 mm. wide at base, extends to anal angle, 
where it broadens to 3 mm. and then shades off through reddish brown 
into the ground tone of the wing. Cilia yellow. 
Fore wing beneath: Buff, darker on the veins. Apical streak very dis- 
tinct, continued to M2, which it reaches 8 mm. from distal margin; curves 
slightly basad to R3, where it is distant 13 mm. from distal margin; 
obtusely angled at R4. Costal margin lighter buff to apex of cell. Two 
faint abbreviated lines from costal margin to R2, corresponding to lunulate 
line on upper side. Apical line bordered by a lighter buff area, shading 
darker toward distal margin. 
Hind wing beneath: Light buff, darker along hinder margin, and with 
a brown basal streak. Apical streak distinct to R3, where it becomes ves- 
tigial. Two discal lines, so obvious in L. major, are very faint, and do not 
extend beyond the apical streak.
