 from Central America. By Herbert Druce, F.L.S.,

The new species of Central-Araerican Heterocera will be

Fara. SphingidaB. 



Subfam. CiicEitocAMPiN^. 



Ch^rocampa, Dup. 



Choerocampa ortospana^ sp. n. 



Primaries dark olive-green, crossed from the apex to the 

 inner margin close to the base by two wide, pinkish, fawn- 

 coloured bands shaded with green, the outer margin brownish 

 green, with a submarginal brown line from near the apex to 

 the inner margin : secondaries black, with a band of yellow- 

 ish-white spots the same as on the hind wing of C. tersa^ but 

 those nearest the apex are confluent and of a reddish-brown 

 colour ; the outer margins are greenish brown. The under- 

 side closely resembles that of C. iersa, but it is much more 

 brightly coloured, with a pale yellow band crossing the pri- 

 maries from the apex to near the base. 



The head, thorax, and the upper part of the abdomen dark 

 olive-green. A pinkish fawn-coloured streak on each side of 

 the head and thorax ; the tegular green, edged with yellow. 

 A tuft of pale primrose-coloured hairs on each side of the 

 abdomen near the base, the sides of the abdomen golden 

 yellow, the anal half of the abdomen greenish brown. A 

 pinkish fawn-coloured line extends from the back of the head 

 across the middle of the thorax and down the centre of the ab- 

 domen to the anus. The underside of the former is yellowish 

 brown. The antennae brown, paler at the tips ; the legs 

 pinkish fawn-colour. Expanse 3^ inches. 



Hab. Mexico, Coatepec {J. Brooks). 



A fine distinct species, of which we have received one 

 specimen ; it is allied to C. tersa, Drury, and G. titana, 

 iJruce, but differs greatly from both. 



Choerocampa suana, sp. n. 



Primaries uniform greyish mouse-colour, with a narrow, 

 submarginal, dark brown line from the apex to the inner 

 margin : secondaries black, with an indistinct row of pale
