[Bead December 7th, 1881.] 



Part L— SPHINGES and BOMBYCES. 



Plate I. 



A SHORT time since I had the pleasure of bringing before 

 the Entomological Society a paper upon the " Butterflies 

 obtained in Chili by Mr. Edmonds" (Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 Lond., 1881, pp. 449-486) ; I now proceed to give an 

 account of the moths in his unusually rich series. Nu- 

 merous valuable notes on the various species have been 

 placed in my hands by him, and are incorporated in the 

 present paper. 



Of the Sphinges Mr. Edmonds only obtained three 

 species, of which, however, he has observed all the 

 larvge ; of the other groups here enumerated I recognise 

 forty-one species, though I think it quite possible that 

 this number may have to be somewhat modified when 

 the species are reared, and theii- earlier stages have 

 been carefully noted.
