112 Mr. Butler’s notes on the species of 
to four and occasionally five, the anterior coxe are 
either snow-white or metallic green (in specimens from 
the same island) ; the basal segment of the abdomen is 
either wholly green, or has the centre black, or has the 
sides opaline whitish and the centre brownish orange ; 
grades between these variations also occur, proving 
that they have, in this species, no specific value; the 
black bands across the carmine also vary in width. We 
have a series of twenty-one examples in the collection 
from Australia, Ké Island, the New Hebrides, Lizard 
Island, Treasury Island, Pentecost, Guadalcanar, Alu 
and Malayta, of the Solomon group. 
To this section of the genus belongs the Glaucopis 
paula of Rober, from East Celebes, a small species 
apparently allied to H. celipennis, but unknown to me. 
It is possible that EH. cincta, of Montrouzier, may also 
come into this section, but the secondaries are described 
as having four yellow spots upon them, an entirely new 
feature among the hyaline winged species. 
The following are species in which the primaries and 
nearly the whole or sometimes the whole of the second- 
aries are opaque. 
11. Huchromia lethe, Fabricius. 
_ This is the Sphinx ewmolphus of Cramer, and was con- 
founded by Walker with the following very distinct 
species under the name of EH. sperchius; it is a common 
S. African species, and we have it from Natal, the Cape, 
and Madagascar. 
12. Huchromia fulvida, n.s. (Pl. IV., fig. 5). 
The West African representative of the preceding, and equally 
common ; it differs in having the pale patches on the wings deep 
fulvous instead of sulphur-yellow ; the metallic markings less blue, 
and the fifth segment of the abdomen pearly greenish-white 
instead of metallic green like the posterior segments; the anterior 
coxe metallic green instead of pure white. Expanse of wings, 
45—54 mm. 
Thirteen examples, from the Congo, Angola, Sierra 
Leone, &e., are in the Museum series.
