1875.] SPECIES OF SPHINGID. 11 
large spots placed obliquely to each other (one costal, the other 
interno-basal), encircled at a little distance by a slender line, a very 
oblique transverse line from middle of costa to basal third of inner 
margin, a large oval spot near base of first median interspace, three 
central costal spots (nearly equidistant), a large, subquadrate, sub- 
apical costal spot, the outer margin broadly, from subapical margin 
to external fourth of inner margin, a discal nebula on second median 
interspace, and several indistinct, lunated, transverse lines, olive- 
brown ; secondaries rosy, costa and base cream-coloured ; abdominal 
margin broadly creamy, tinted with pink; outer margin, from sub- 
costal nervure to anal angle, broadly chocolate-brown ; two central, 
transverse, lunulated, grey lines and a discal series of grey dots; 
body as in d. gannascus; wings below altogether yellower than 
above; primaries with the costa, especially at apex, ochreous; all 
the large spots, excepting the subapical costal one, missing, the latter 
paler than above; transverse streaks more distinct; outer margin 
broadly bordered with silver-grey ; secondaries pale clay-coloured ; 
border, lines, and spots as above, but very pale; body as in A. gan- 
nascus. Expanse of wings 4 inches 7 lines. 
Rio Janeiro (Stevens). Type, B.M. 
Subfamily SpuHinGin =. 
Genus Ampuonyx, Poey. 
22. AMPHONYX RIVULARIS, ND. Sp. 
3. Like a large example of A. duponchel 3, but less green in 
colour, and with a broader transparent area in the secondaries. 
Expanse of wings 5 inches. 
Q. Like the female of A. duponchel, but slightly larger, the pri- 
maries green, not varied with mealy-white patches, and with all the 
markings distinct as in A. anteus 9. Expanse of wings 6 inches 3 
lines.

Type, B.M. 
I have little doubt that this is the Upper-Amazon representative 
of A. anteus, as A. medor* is the Mexican. Herr Julius Flohr, of 
Hamburg (who has collected much in Mexico), tells me that he has 
a female example of the latter species measuring 9 inches in expanse 
of wing ; our female only measures 7 inches. 
Genus Proroparce t, Burmeister. 
23. PROTOPARCE FULVINOTATA, N. sp. 
Primaries above very similar to P. solani, but lighter, the subapical 
pale patch less dusky and broader, and all the transverse dark lines 
* Cramer's locality is (almost certainly) incorrect ; we possess both sexes of 
his species, distinguished at a glance by its blackish coloration. 
t I adopt this name, rather than Mr. Grote’s émendation of Macrosila, as 
being one year prior to that genus as first characterized, its type also being in- 
dicated as P. rustica. For Macrosila, Walker, I have retained M, incisa, Walker, 
as type.
