for cynniris, Gruer. Icon. Ins. p. 495, from Mauritius. 



The Dublin specimen recorded from Sylhet was without 



locality, and is either that species or janus, Miskin, 



P. Roy. Soc. Qd. viii, pt. 1, 1890, p. 6, from Australia. 

 Macroglossa frinyilla, Boisd., C. & S. no. 30. This species is 



allied to the Australian errans, and is probably not Indian. 



The markings of the fore wing are too vaguely described 



for identification.

from America. 

 Chcerocampa stipularis, Swinh., C. & S. no. 87, = Deilephila Icoma-

Fabr., a Zygaenid from the W. Indies. 

 Sphinx minus, Fabr., C. & S. no. 67. The description is too vague

W. Indies, and is probably a Zyg-aenid.
