400 APPENDIX. 



sides ; on the back on each side near to the roots 

 of the wings runs a broad black stripe, which, at 

 the beginning of the abdomen, first runs towards 

 the middle, but suddenly turns across to the side. 

 On each side of the abdomen are five square rose- 

 coloured spots, which become smaller towards the 

 end of the body, and at last indistinct. Between 

 the two upper spots there is a short black stripe, 

 between the rest a broad square black spot. Be- 

 neath, the middle of the body is white ; on the 

 belly are three black dots lengthwise ; the three 

 last tracheae on each side are black. The short 

 feelers are in front dark brown, behind white, legs 



grey. 



Sph. ConvohuU exceeds this species in size; it 

 wants the small annulus and the longitudinal 

 stripes of the upper wings ; its under wings are 

 grey, &c. 



The present species might much easier be taken 

 for Sph. Cingiilata^ F., which may be distinguished 

 by the white point of the upper wings and the five 

 black spots on the belly. 



Our species is said to sting very severely with 

 its proboscis.
