Hab. Karwar, N. (Janara, S. India. 



Three iired specimens known : two in the British Museum, ti/pe 17. viii. '97 ; 

 the third, somewhat crippled, in the Triog- Mnseum. 



Easily recognised liy the pattern of the forewing. 



Mimas tiliae (]). 304). 



The larva of M. tiliae christophi, of which Messrs. Staudinger and Bang- 

 Haas have sent ns a specimen, agrees with that of .If. tiliae tiliiw. 



Sphinx ocellata (p. 317). 



On ji. 3v!() we have referred to three liyhrids as "/(7«'//c.s '" with c? -antennae. 

 Prof. Standfuss informs us in lift, that tlie two specimens populi x ocellata 

 lired by him are not females. We have now re-examined our two individuals 

 in rjuestion, and find that we have been taken in liy the thin antennae and the 

 contracted abdomen. The two specimens prove on dissection to have a male 

 sexual armature, and to possess eight external abdominal segments like normal 

 SS. There is, therefore, nothing remarkable in the antennae as stated, except 

 that they are too thin for (?c?, a sign of the weakening influence of hybridisation. 

 We add that the S populi x occllntii has the s]iikes of the penis-sheath nearly 

 as heavy as the S jiojdiU.

We liavc now 2 [mpac and 1 larva, Ixmght from Messrs. Staudinger and Bang- 

 Haas. 



The ]iupa is very dose to that of Cressonia pifihtndi.t. Black-brown, very 

 rough, opai|iie. Head: (wo tubercles between bases of antennae ; frons produced 

 into three jiromincnces, each sinuate at tip, one mesial and the others near eyes. 

 Tongue much shorter than foreleg. Anterior femur not visible. Granules of 

 antenna jminted. Mesonotnm and base of forewing with a few tubercles. Abdomen 

 flattened beneath, esi)ecially the last segments, irregularly grooved, minutely and 

 densely granulose ; njiperside with sharply jiointed granules, which are densest 

 on the proximal segments ; segments 4, 5 and with a siibapical bcdt of pomted 

 tubercles, these tubercles vestigial or small on underside. The belt reminds 

 one of that of Perye.sa elpeuor (etc.), but has (juite a different position. Trace 

 of horn distinct. Pointcid lateral granules of eighth segment directed forward, 

 ('remaster flattened, truncate, broad, the angles produced lah-rad each into a tooth. 



Larva granulose, the granules dispersed ; lat(M-al granules denser and higher 

 than the dorsal ones and each with a red wing round its base. Seven obluiue 

 Bide-Btripes of cnlarjcd granules, the stripes e.xtcniling over two segments and
