SOME UNDESCRIBED SPHINGIDAE. 
BY BENJAMIN PRESTON CLARK. 
At the end of another year! I have a number of Sphingidae 
which appear to be undescribed, and to deserve recognition as 
species or subspecies. Six of these are North American; one is 
from the West Indies; five are from Central and South America; 
two are African. In addition to these there are six species, of 
which heretofore but one sex has been described, and of which I 
now have material that enables me to describe the other sex. 
I desire to make the following corrections in my previous 
papers, and also to offer a suggestion as to one subspecies of 
Rothschild and Jordan. 
I find that Orecta fruhstorferi? Clark is in every respect like 
a drawing of the female of O. lycidas, which I have received from 
Tring. It is the first good drawing of this latter species, which 
I have seen. A series of specimens, in which I had supposed 
both O. l. eos and O. 1. lycidas to be represented, while it shows 
wide variation in wing form, consists evidently wholly of eos. I 
wish therefore to express a doubt as to the soundness of O. 
fruhstorferi. Iwas misled by the only available drawings.
