Gilroy, Santa Clara County, California (G. R. Crotch). 
My. Henry Edwards says :—‘“ This beautiful specimen closely resembles Sph. eremitus, 
Walk., of the Atlantic States, but is readily known by its more brilliant grey colouring, 
by the very sharply defined demi-bands, and by the strongly marked whitish submarginal 
band of the fore wings.” 
3. LiInTNERIA? EREMITOIDES. 
Sphinx eremitoides, Strecker, Lep. Rhop. and Het. p. 93 (1874). 
Kansas. 
Very briefly described, and, owing to Mr. Strecker’s incomprehensible affection for 
unmanageably extensive genera, described as a Sphinaz, without a hint as to its struc- 
tural characters. In the same page he described a Hemaris as a Macroglossa, which 
at first fairly puzzled me, it not being a New-World ‘genus; but, fortunately, he 
observed that it was allied to M. diffinis (one of the most typical species of Hemaris), 
which at once enlightened me. 
Mr. Grote thinks it probable that S. eremitoides is = S. lugens of Walker; but 
(judging from Mr. Grote’s previous papers on the Sphingide) I am doubtful whether 
he knows the S. /ugens of Walker. It is certain that Clemens did not; for he separated 
it by a wide interval from his S. /ewcopheata.
