14. PHILAMPELUS ANCHEMOLUS, 
Sphinx anchemolus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. p. 50, pl. 224. fig. C (1782). 
Philampelus anchemolus, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 178. no. 8 (1856) 
Philampelus satellitia (part.), Walker, 1. c. p. 175. no. 3 (1856) 
Rio Janeiro (Stevens) ; west coast of South America (Kellett & Wood). B.M. 
A larger and more heavily-coloured species than the preceding, the sides of the body 
much redder ; with other less evident differences. 
15, PHILAMPELUS HELOPs. 
Philampelus helops, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 180. no. 12 (1856). 
Philampelus orientalis, Felder, Reise der Noy., Lep. iv. tab. 77. fig. 1 (1874). 
“Port Natal (Krauss).”— Walker. Type, B.M. 
I have examined a specimen of this species taken by Mr. W. L. Distant in Penang. 
It differs in no respect from the type; and therefore I have little doubt that our locality 
is wrong. Mr. Moore has a pale example taken by Mr. Grote in North India. 
Section Arczus, Hiibner (Chlorina, Guénée). 
Argeus, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 134. no. 3 (1816). 
16. PHILAMPELUS MEGERA. 
Sphinx megera, Linneus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 358 (1764) ; Clerck’s Icones, pl. 47. fig. 2. 
Philampelus megera, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 179. no. 11 (1856). 
Port Natal (Stevens & Gooch); Ashanti. B.M. 
It is evident from M. Guénée’s note on “ Cherocampa megera,” and his description 
of a new genus to receive it, that he had neglected to examine Mr. Walker’s Catalogue, 
and consequently was not aware that recent naturalists had moved Sphine meyera to 
Philampelus. 
The example of P. megera received from Mr. Gooch has the abdomen red. 
17. PHILAMPELUS PHORBAS. 
2. Sphinx phorbas, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. p. 86, pl. 55. fig. B (1779).
