being bordered with red proximally, except on dorsum. Head large, conical, 

 with few grannies lateral!}' ; a blackish Ihmwii frontal stripe on each side ; top 

 of head incised. Thoracical legs red and Mack. Horn red, hlack above, with 

 large dispersed grannies. Anal tergite large, with dark-pointed dispersed tubercles. 



Deilephila minima (ii. 513). 



The British Mnseum has lately received a series of specimens from Karwar. 

 The individuals agree in colour and size best with tlie type of min. crin'xtind, 

 while the armature of the penis-sheath, which is variable, conforms to that of 

 min. minima, the right-side process being ]>rominent and dentate. The occurrence 

 of such dark-coloured specimens in South India renders it probable that the 

 two individuals of miiririia minima, which is all that is known of that form, are 

 accidentally small and pale. Bred specimens of ]h'ih-jihiUt are oftwi ])ale in tints. 



Deilephila protrudens (j). r)l3). 

 The type (?) is labelled " Moluccas, Lorquin " ; not Gilolo. 



Xylophanes xylobotes (p. 090). 



Among the unpublished drawings of Peters there is a figure of the larva 

 and pupa of this species. The larva is green and agrees in shape with that of 

 A', ceratomioides, tapering strongly in front and having a small head. An 

 interrupted dorsal line and on each side a subdorsal one deeper green, the latter 

 ending at horn and forming posteriorly the upper border of a white stripe which 

 extends from horn to the tenth segment. A small white eye-spot on fourth 



segment. Traces of dark green oblicjue side-bauds. Pupa green ; a brown 



ventral mesial line ; stigmata also brown. 



Xylophanes ceratomioides (p. 092). 



Peters found on the plant (a small tree) on which he discovered the larva 

 of xylobotes the larva of another species, which is doubtless that of ceratomioirhs, 

 his figure agreeing fairly well with Schaus's description, except in the figure 

 showing six oblique greyish side-bands and a small black ocellus encircled 

 with pale. 



Xylophanes hydrata (p. TOO). 



There is now in the Tring Musenm a S from tlie Province of Rio de .Taneiro. 

 The specimen agrees with the ? ? in all essential points.
