This species differs from all others (until recently) referred to Sp/iioix, in its shorter 

 and broader primaries. It cannot be associated with Sjih. lugens, as that species can- 

 not be separated generically from Sph. justicice, being in fact nearly allied to Sph. 

 leucoplueata. I cannot follow my friend Grote in adopting the name incorrectly applied 

 by Hiibner in his figure, the Agrius of the Verzeichniss being a mixture of Philampeht.i 

 and Protoparce. 



Sphinx abadonna is said to come from East India ; but this locality may be wrong, as 

 many of Fabricius's localities undoubtedly are.
