The individuals of Cephonodes recorded as lii/la.'s from the larger Snnda 

 Islands belong to /licn.f ; no iudividnal of liylus has so far been found, to our 

 knowledge, in the Miihiyan District jirojier. This is certainly very remai'kable, as 

 the insect is common in North Australia, India, China, Japan, and Africa. See 

 Celerio lineata.
