 Natal.

The African form differs from the Indian in its deeper colour 

 and less pointed primaries ; all the black bands much more irre- 

 gular, strongly dentated ; the central band much broader at

 lunate ; the ocellus of primaries darker and considerably 

 narrower ; wings below darker, all the white spots smaller. 

 Expanse of wings 5 inches 3 lines.

 ponens and Remigia venusta.

 Genus 66. Sphingomorpha, Gue'ne'e. 

 81. Sphingomorpha Monteironis, n. sp.

 Monteiro at Ambriz. 



Very like S. chlorea (8. sipyla, Gue"n.), but differing as 

 follows : — Primaries much narrower, more pointed ; basal half 

 confused, not interrupted by a white line so as to separate the 

 external area as a darker spot ; pale subapical transverse streak 

 widened into a broad diffused spot ; black spots bounded by
