ME. A. G. BUTLEE ON THE SPHINGIDiE. 577 



14. Philampelus anchemolus. 



Sphinx anchemolus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. p. 50, pi. 224. fig. C (1782). 

 Philampelus anchemolus, Walker, Lap. Het. viii. p. 178. no. 8 (1856). 

 Philampelus satellitia (part.), Walker, I, c. p. 175. no. 3 (1856) . 



Rio Janeiro (Stevens) ; west coast of South America [Kellett & Wood). B.M. 



A larger and more hea-\dly-coloured species than the preceding, the sides of the body 

 much redder ; with other less evident differences. 



15. Philampelus helops. 



Philampelus AeZops, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 180.no. 12 (1856). 

 Philampelus orientalis, Felder, Keise der Nov., Lep. iv. tab. 77. fig. 1 (1874). 



" Port Natal (Krauss)." — Wallicr. Type, B.M. 



I have examined a specimen of this species taken by Mr. W. L. Distant in Penang. 

 It differs in no respect from the type ; and therefore I have little doubt that our locality 

 is wrong. Mr. Moore has a pale example taken by Mr. Grote in North India. 



Section Akgeus, Hiibner (C'hlorina, Guenee). 

 Argeus, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 134. no. 3 (1816). 



16. Philampelus meg^ra. 



Sphinx megara, Linnaeus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 358 (1764) ; Clerck's Icones, pi. 47. fig. 2. 

 Philampelus megara. Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 179. no. 11 (1856). 



Port Natal {Stevens & Gooch) ; Ashanti. B.M. 



It is evident from M. Guenee's note on " Chcerocampa megcera," and his description 

 of a new genus to receive it, that he had neglected to examine Mr. Walker's Catalogue, 

 and consequently was not aware that recent naturalists had moved Sjjhinx meywra to 

 Philampelus. 



The example of P. megcera received from Mr. Gooch has the abdomen red. 



17. Philampelus phoebas. 



? . Sphinx phorhas, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. p. 86, pi. 55. fig. B (1779).

 Argeus pandion, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 134. no. 1443 (1816). 



" Surinam." — Cramer. 

 Closely allied to P. megmra.
