318 On North-American Sphinges and Bombyces. 
Surely this cannot be the species intended by Behrens in 
his description of H. Baroni? That description has puzzled 
me, since it states that the third and fourth bands are fused, 
and that the submarginal forms a fifth band, whereas it 
appears that the insect only possesses three bands in all. 
The example in Lord Walsingham’s series is rather of a 
subochreous clay-colour than reddish-brown tint; but diffe- 
rent men hold different views respecting colours (possibly 
they may not even see them alike), as an instance of which I 
may note that what Hewitson invariably called “rufous 
brown” I should describe as ‘ fuliginous brown,” or, in some 
cases, as ‘‘ olivaceous brown,” the colour having to my eyes a 
green rather than a red shade; in the second place, it is 
possible, though hardly probable, that the specimen before 
me is referable to another new species of Sthenopis.

The H. sangaris of Strecker (pl. xv. fig. 5, 1877) seems to 
come between this species and the following.

The oblique bands on primaries are much whiter in some 
examples than in others, sometimes also showing traces of a 
scarlet margin similar to that of the ochreous bands in 
HI, Lenzi.
