Jones's figure of Sophocles determines this species beyond a doubt to be the same as T. 

 Sphinx of Hiibner. It gives more spots near the base on the underside of the posterior wing 

 than are usual in Sphinx ; although one example in my collection is exactly represented by it. It 

 gives the very peculiar form of the band on the underside of the upper wing with the three 

 minute spots near the costal margin at an angle with the other part of the band. Donovan's 

 figure is, as usual, very bad, and does not give the form of the said band which is quite unlike 

 that of any other species. T. Sophocles has a female of the same broad form as itself and not 

 at all like the female which Mr. Butler has given it, which is the female of Basalides.
