110 CLARK — SOME UNDESCRIBED SPHINGIDAE— [?).240- 
Named for my friend Andrey N. Avinoff, who corrected my impression 
that the specimen was a Hypaedalia. 
Palpus light brown, shading to dark brown at the base. Antennae dark 
brown. Thorax and abdomen mummy-brown above, light brown beneath. 
Fore wing above: Mummy-brown. A narrow, straight dark line extends 
from a point on the costal margin slightly basad of its median point, to M2 
which it reaches 2 mm. from the distal margin. From M2 this line curves 
basad, reaching the inner margin 2 mm. from the hinder angle. An irregu- 
lar marginal distal band 6 mm. wide at the apex, narrowing abruptly to 
3 mm. on SC5, then broadening to 5 mm. on R2, and narrowing again to 
2 mm. at the hinder angle. This band is slightly darker than the area be- 
tween it and the median line. Distal margin irregular in outline, scalloped 
between the veins; outline very similar to that cf T. wallastoni. Hinder 
angle projecting, rounded. Cilia dark brown. 
Hind wing above: Black, unicolorous. Cilia light yellow, black at the 
veins. 
Fore wing below: Basal area black to a point slightly beyond the median 
point on the costal margin, and to a point about two thirds the distance to 
the hinder angle on the inner margin. Obscure white stigma near apex of 
cell. Apical area light brown. Irregular submarginal distal line correspond- 
ing to that on upper side; faintly geminate from R3 to hinder angle. 
Hind wing below: Light brown. Three wavy, faint dark brown lines, 
one median, the second postmedian, and the third submarginal, parallel to 
each other, and approximately so to the distal margin. Marginal band 
slightly darker than the tone of the wing, extending from the apex to M2. 
The shape of this band is broadly lunar. This species is allied to 7. wal- 
lastonit R. and J. 
Temnora brunescens sp nov.

Habitat. — West Pondoland, South Africa. One female in coll. B. Pres- 
ton Clark, received from Mr. E. LeMoult, Paris. 
Antennae brown. Thorax and abdomen above, warm brown with a purp- 
lish tinge. Thorax crested. Palpi brown-purple, third segment white. Eye 
with white lashes. Abdomen beneath brown-purple; with minute white 
side tufts. 
Fore wing above: red-brown with purplish tinge. A triangular dark 
red-brown area with its base, 3 mm. in width, on the costal margin, and its 
inner edge 12 mm. from the base, extends to the distal margin, where it 
narrows to a point on M1. The area between this triangle and the apex
