"roi7 CLARK — NEW SPHINGIDAE 71 
dots 5 mm. from the distal margin, and a small black dot on the costal 
margin, 7 mm. from the apex, correspond to those on upper side. Very 
faint marginal band extending from apex to hinder angle, and broadest at R2, 
about 5mm. Hind wing pinkish, unicolorous, with a series of black vein 
dots 3 mm. from the distal margin. Cilia dark on the veins, elsewhere 
the same color as the wing, except between Mi and M2, and between M2 
and SM2, where they are pure white. 
Female. Head, thorax and abdomen above, red-brown, darker toward 
the head. Fore wing above, warm red-brown, similar to the ground 
tone of X. rufescens. Markings more distinct than in the male. 
Both wings beneath, dark red-brown where the male is brownish 
clay-color. On the fore wing the black basal shade is extended costad. On 
the hind wing the cilia are extended light, except at veins. Otherwise the 
coloring is as in the male. 
This form seems most nearly allied to X. rufescens, the bands 
on the hind wing being in close correspondence.
