i ? . Yellow band of hiudwiug triangular, uarrowing behind, not reaching 

 abdominal margin, or (typical iilalume) hindwing above black, with a vestige of a 

 greyish band. Basal area of forewing below black or shaded with orange. Palpus 

 black or somewhat greyish bencatli.

These five specimens have a yellowish band on the npperside of the forewing. 

 Another ? , also from the Keith Road, has a trace of a greyish band. This specimen 

 has kindly been presented to the Tring Museum by Mr. Wilson, who says that he 

 has kept it, together with some other Lepido|)tera, iu memory of his little daughter 

 Rose Annette, to whom he had given it shortly before her death. We gratefully 

 acknowledge the gift. 



The obvious differences between the s]iecimen of Rose Annette Wilson and that 

 caught by N. C. Rothschild render it probable that the distinctions between 

 J/arafasciata, ulfilxme and racliel, are merely individual, not subspecific.

 LepisesSa iihihimi' var. rafhel Bruce, Ent. N'ews xii. p. 19 (1901) (Colorado ; larva on Ejiilnhimn). 



One specimen known : sex not stated. It is said to differ from nlalume in the 

 baud of the wings being " lighter iu colour, wider and more distinct," and in 

 the collar and thorax not being black. The author attributes, however, an intense 

 black collar and thorax to iilaltimc, in which he is wrong. Judging from the short 

 descrij>tion, 7-<iehrl seems to stand intermediate between _//. Jiai-ofutsciata and 

 Ji. nlalume. 



Mr. Bruce says : " I was collecting larvae of Ab/pia lorquini on Epilobium 

 and found a large Sphinx larva looking very much like that of T. abboti. The anal 

 horn was absent, and a shining button was iu its place. I fed it carefully and it 

 pulled a leaf or two over itself on the soil and pupated, and appeared as a moth in 

 February. The specimen is therefore from Colorado, and is now iu the collection 

 of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadeli>hia."
