This beautiful little fpecies may be eafily confounded with the 

 Sphinx Filipendula, figured in the fixth plate of this work ; its ge- 

 neral refemblance is ftriking, and it differs chiefly in the number of 

 red fpots that adorn the fuperior wings. Sphinx Filipendula has in- 

 variably fix fpots on each wing, and the latter as conflantly only five.
