600 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE SPHINGID#. 
This species is certainly distinct; Cramer’s figures of A. medor and A. hydaspus are 
evidently both taken from female examples; the white spots are most distinctive.

Comparing this species with the various allied but distinct forms in the genus Diélo- 
phonota, several of them sent by the same collector from Oaxaca, Mexico, I cannot 
believe that Drury’s figure can be so gross as to be a representation of the Sphinx alope 
of Cramer; not only is the banding and coloration of the primaries utterly different, but 
the body is both described and represented as “clay-coloured;” I therefore adopt Swain- 
son’s name of Sphinx fasciata for Cramer’s insect.

* Allied to Amphonyx; thorax with a broad and very prominent dorsal tuft, dilated in front and excavated 
above; proboscis long, but shorter than in Amphonya ; head and thorax projecting a long way in front of pri- 
maries; secondaries narrow, especially towards apex.
