On new Species and Forms of Sphingidee. 305 
XXXIV.— New Species and Forms of Sphingide. 
By J. J. Jorcey, F.E.S., and W. J. Kays, F.E.S. 
THE eight new species of Sphingide here described will be 
figured after the war. Xylophanes sublevis is a very old 
specimen acquired from a collection made about the year 
1844, but it appears to be undescribed, and if so it would 
seem to be a very rare insect. Hippotion rubribrenna n> 
doubt exists in several collections, there are a number at 
Tring Museum; but to us it has a distinct appearance, which 
is also easily definable. It was unfortunate to have had an 
accident with the genital preparation, but those who have 
specimens will be able to verify our contention by examining 
the male organs. Marumba trata is a striking novelty from 
Tibet, a district from whence many interesting things are 
now being sent. Oxyambulyx citrona adds still another to 
the already long list of closely allied Oxyambulyx species. 
The male elasp is different from both O. schauffelbergeri and 
O. sericeipennis, while in general appearance it is different 
from O. serice’pennis in many minor points, but not at all 
like O. schauffelbergert. 
Oligographa mosambiquensis, sp.n. 
Fore wing various shades of brown, not grey as in O. 
juniperi and also narrower. Darkest at base, with dark lines 
along upper and lower edge of cell. A number of dark 
streaks on or between the veins. An apical wavy line from 
apex for a short distance asin junipert. Discoidal spot large, 
white (much larger than in juntpert). Hind wing dark 
brown, unicolorous. Abdomen dull brown, with a faint 
central line. Wings below pale greyish brown. Underside 
of abdomen whitish. 
flab. 8... Africa, Delagoa Bay. 
Type in Coll. Joicey. 
Marumba trata, sp. n. 
Fore wing with the ground-colour violet-pink. The small 
basal area dark brown. Across the centre of cell is a bunch 
of four transverse lines the outer two of which are greatly 
curved and parallel. Small discoidal spot black. Beyond
