tiji (if segment, Imt the tiit't thus I'onued sliorter than tlie hist two segments 

 together. Tibiae simple, longer than the resjjective first tarsal segments ; these 

 little longer than the cell of the hindwing is broad ; spur of foretibia about half 

 the length of the tiltia ; those of mid- and hindtibia very short, long terminal oue 

 of hindtiliia about half as long again as the tiliia is broad ; jiaronychium with 

 two lobes ou each side ; pulvilliis j/n'seiit. Frenulum and retinaculum jircscitt. 

 Underscales of abdominal tergites partly spiniform. 



5. Eighth sternite simple ; clasjier reduced, without friction-patch ; harpe 

 strongly developed, the apical process double or simi)le, in the latter case {junonia) 

 preceded by several teeth (PI. XXXIV. f. 'Si). 



? . Vaginal plate difterently armed in the two species of which this sex is 

 known. 



Early stages known only of C. tatariiwin ; of the same type as in Sphinx 

 ocellata. 



Hab. North India to Amurland and Japan, and the larger Snnda Islands. 

 The four species resemble one another in j)attern, all having an oblique line or 

 band on the forewing crossing the apex of the cell aud then running along M'- 

 towards hinder angle, and an obliipie ajiical line, the hindwing being red, the 

 posterior half of the mesothoracic tegula lieing pale like the side of the metanotum, 

 and the abdomen having a dark mesial line. 

 Key to the species : 



a. Hindwing with a large lilack postdiscal patch 



centred with white ..... 204. C. J/tiio/iia.

 a white dot behind it, not within

c?9. One of the finest Sphingids. The green colour of the forewing often 

 fading into clayish. D'' of the hindwing in most si)ecimens longer than IV. The 

 lobes of tlie [laronycliium long. 



6. Tenth tergite (PL XXII. f. 10) weak, pale, gradually nai'rowed distad, 

 apex more strongly narrowed and mesially feebly sinuate, the surface more or less 

 concave, rough witli bristle-bearing tubercles distally, the mesial line raised to a kind 

 of carina ; the proximal part of this supra-anal jilate (namely the nintli tergite) 

 more strongly chitinised and densely clothed with long hair-scales whicii project 

 beyond the end of the tenth tergite ; the tenth sternite reduced, without a lobe. 

 Clasper narrow (PI. XXXIV. f 19), tapering to apex, which is rounded ; harpe 

 strong, rounded ventro-distally, ]iroduced into a long and a short, curved, pointed 

 process ; on a fold of the ciasper, dorsally of the harpe, there is a dense clothing of 

 spine-like bristles. Penis-sheath without armature.
