520 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE SPHINGID.E. 



The Japanese representative of //. fuciformis. M. Boisduval having described it as a 

 Macroglossa, I unfortunately overlooked his description. 



9. Hemakis mandarina.

12. Hemaris saundersii. 



Sesia saundersii. Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 83. no. 7 (1856). 



North India {Stevens, Boubleday). Type, B.M. 



This species is a complete link between the H. fuciformis group and II. hylas ; the 

 latter though different in aspect (owing to the narrow-scaled border of primaries), does 

 not, so far as I can see, differ structurally from the other species of Hemaris. 



13. Hemaris venata.

Allied to H. fuciformis, but one third larger, the body longer, different in character. 



14. Hemaris radians. 



Sesia radians, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 84. no. 8 (1856). 



Shanghai {Fortune). Type, B.M. 



Approaching H. thysbe in character.
