Protoparce hannibal. 



Spkinx hannibal Cx., Pap. Ex. iii, t. 216, A (i779)- 

 Sphinx hamilcar Bd., Sp. Gen. Het. i, p. 79 (i895)- 

 I have seen Boisduval's type of 5. hamilcar and agree with 

 Mr. Oberthiir, who has placed it as a synonym of 5. hannibal. 



Protoparce capsici. 



Sphinx capsici Bd., Sp. Gen. Het. i, p. 80 (1875). 

 Pseudosphinx morelia Druce, Am. Nat. Hist. (6), xiii, p. 168 (1894). 

 I have examined both types and they are identical. 



Sphinx Ingens. 



Sphinx lugens\<!-&\\^.. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. viii, p. 219 (1856). 

 I believe this species has been wrongly identified in most 

 American collections. The lugens of the Neumoegen collection 

 is certainly not Walker's species. Correctly named specimens 

 are in the collection of Prof. E. T. Owen, of Madison, Wis. 

 Boisduval, Sp. Gen. Het. i, p. 87. also wrongly considered his 

 Sphinx merops, Lep. Guat. p. 73, as representing bigens of 

 Walker. Sphinx merops Bd. , is the northern form of Sphinx 

 J7isticicB Walk. =Anleros Men. and differs chiefly in the absence or 

 the small sub-dorsal orange spots which exist on the posterior 

 portion of each abdominal segment in Sphinx justicice, the 

 Brazilian form. The true Sphinx lugens Walk, was unknown to 

 Boisduval. In the Neumoegen collection I saw several speci- 

 mens of Sphinx lugens Walk., I believe, under the name of 

 andromedce , and what stood under the name of lugens was a 

 species which I had not seen previously, and may be ereniitioides 

 Strk., which would therefore be a good species. 



Sphinx andromedx. 



Sphinx afidroinedce Bd., Sp. Gen. i, p. 89, Lep. Guat. p. 74 (1870). 

 Sphinx separatus Neum., Ent. Am. i, p. 92 (1885). 

 I have specimens compared with the above types. Sphinx 

 separatus is a trifle paler than my Mexican specimens oi androin- 

 edcEy but they are inseparable. In the British Museum collec- 

 tions, Sphinx andromedcB stands as Sphinx leucophceata Clem., 

 and if correctly identified, Clemen's name will have priority, but, 

 personally, I believe that .S". leucophcsata is a northern form of 

 Sphinx lanceolata Felder, which is common in the State of Vera 

 Cruz, Mexico. 



Sphinx reevii. 



Hyloicus reevii Druce, Ent. Mo. Mag. xix, p. 18. 1882.
