He-marks on the Sphingidce of Cuba. 205 



shows a faint reddish tinge. Terminal space, intense rich brown, 

 deepening in color to the edge. , 



Secondaries bright yellow with a pinkish tinge, which latter 

 is bright and determinate at base. The wings are crossed by- 

 three black, shaded bands ; of these the inner is the widest and 

 most determinate, extending from costa to internal margin, 

 before which it is slightly inwardly dilated. The middle band 

 is very distinct in the upper half of the wing, below its middle 

 it joins the outer band, this latter is fainter, more diffuse, and 

 less prominent, covering the wing at anal angle. All the ner- 

 vules are marked very prominently with black scales, which 

 diffusedly extend on each side into the interspaces. Between 

 the inner transverse band and the base of the wing, there are no 

 dark scales or markings whatever, this part of the wing being 

 covered with delicate pink, and longer, hair-like scales. 



Subterminally (on the middle transverse band) are three dis- 

 tinct, moderate, ocelloid spots ; one on the medio-central, one 

 on the medio-posterior nervules (this latter ocellus the largest), 

 and one on the sub-median nervure. These ocelloid spots are 

 composed of black scales, and have narrow, pale blue, annulate 

 borders. From them, this species derives its specific name- 

 Terminally, the wing is shaded with pale blackish scales. 



Under surface covered with reddish-ochreous scales. The 

 primaries are crossed by broken dark bands ; terminal space 

 darkly margined inwardly, covered with pale frosted scales. 

 Secondaries, with the three transverse bands of the upper sur- 

 face, vaguely indicated ; the fusion of the middle and outer 

 bands more clearly shown than on the upper surface. 



Thorax above, pale brownish, of a mixed shade difficult to 

 describe precisely, somewhat paler than the primaries above. 

 Tegulse, as usual in this genus and in Philamjpelus, with large 

 lateral subtriangulate spots, composed, in this instance, of rich, 

 dark, vinous-brown scales. Head, above the antennal insertion, 

 concolorous with upper pro-thoracic parts. Cly peus, or " front," 

 covered with thick scales which are concolorous with the dark
