6 SPHINGID^:. 



Expanse of wings 2^ inches. 

 a. Bouru (type) (Wallace). 



Allied to M. alcedo (Boisd.), fore-wings somewhat similar, hind- 

 wings with the yellow band of a similar hue but paler, can, however, 

 easily be distinguished by its great width of body, by its very much 

 broader yellow band, by the yellow anal tuft, and by the broad yellow 

 base of both wings below. 



20. Macroglossa inusitata. n. sp. 



Above, blackish brown, abdomen more blackish, with black seg- 

 mental bands at the sides, and with indistinct yellowish spots on the 

 two central segments, anal tuft long and thick and very dark, fore- 

 wing with indistinct darker transverse bands, ist sub-basal very 

 indistinct, 2nd ante medial, the broadest, curved outwardly and 

 thickening downwards. 3rd post medial indicated by its two mar- 

 ginal lines, elbowed outwards just below the costa, and inwards in 

 its middle coming close to the second band. 4th discal indistinct, 

 indicated by its two faint marginal lines, and shaped somewhat as in 

 the third, also some apical darker indistinct marks. 



Hind-wings blackish brown, with a broad ochreous central band, 

 the inner margin irregular, the outer well curved and well defined. 



Underside, face white, body and legs soot brown, abdomen with 

 segmental dark bands, three small white spots at the sides below the 

 middle, anal tuft dark brown, wings dark brown but dull in colour, 

 hind margin of fore-wings and abdominal marginal space of hind- 

 wings ochreous ; no visible transverse lines. 



Expanse of wings 2\ inches. 

 a. Dorey (type) (Wallace). 



Coloured somewhat similarly on the wings to M. alcedo (Boisd.), 

 the transverse bands on the fore- wings are more numerous and 

 closer together and the yellow band on hind-wings nearly as broad 

 in M. labrosa ; there are only a few brown streaks. 



Can be easily distinguished by its very black abdomen above and 

 below and by its peculiar bottle shape.
