XXVIII. Determination of Brazilian Sphingidae 

 collected by Mr. Charles Linden 



BY AUG. E. GROTE. 

 [Bead before this Socidy, Fehruary 15, 1874.] 



During a journey on tlie Amazonas, accomplished last year, Mr. 

 Charles Linden was fortunate in making a large and valuable col- 

 lection of insects, chiefly Lepidoptera, now incorporated with the 

 entomological collection of this Society. I give in the present 

 paper a list of the Sphingidae, with Mr. Linden's memoranda added 

 in quotation marks. With the exception of Callenyo carinata, there 

 are none of the species which do not seem to be Avidely distributed. 



Aellopos Titau {Cramer). 

 " Santarem ; June." 



Eiipyrrhoglossum Ceculus {Cramer). 



" September ; Rhome's Plantation." 



Kemeroplanes Oiclus {Cramer). 

 " Eastern Marajo ; August." 



Quite distinct from H. pseudotliyreus, Grote, in the shape of the 

 external margin of the primaries, the straight transverse posterior 

 band and the conformation of the argent discal spots ; in color 

 more brow^nish than in Ci'amer's figure. 



Callenyo cliloroptera {Perty). 



" Rliome's Plantation (forty miles below Santarem) ; June." 



I take this species as the type of the new genus, intermediate 

 between Enyo and Perigonia, and defined as a group by Mr. "Walker, 

 C. B. M., Sphing., p. 117.
