Dr. Turner has formed this new genus (Tr, Roy. Soc, 
S.A., pcige 231, 1904), to receive this sj^ecies : but I am 
strongly of ojDinion that my type is a female : the antennae are 
unipectinated, the j^ectinations being 1. Should my surmise 
prove correct, the character of the new genus will require to 
be altered in accordance with the above character.

I recently received a living specimen of this beautiful 
Sphinx from Mr. J. Fairhead, who caught the insect in the 
sorting room of the post-office at Broken Hill in April. T 
feel pretty confident that up to the present it has not been 
recorded from Australia, and I am very pleased to be able to 
add it to our fauna. I have also taken in Broken Hill the 
following Spli i)ir/i(he : —
