Moreton Bay [Gibbons). Type, B.M. 



It is possible that this may prove to be a variety of the preceding. I think, however, 

 considering their differences, Mr. Walker would scarcely have been justified in uniting 

 them, there being only one example of each in the collection.

(Kartoum) Abyssinia {Lucas) ; % Type, B.M. 



The figure by Lucas represents the species as much redder than our example, but 

 does not otherwise differ. 



ZonUia antipoda, rhadama, and zebu of Boisduval appear to be MS. names {cf. p. 630).

This genus, as shown by Horsfield and Moore's figures of its earlier stages, clearly 

 belongs to the Sphinginse ; in general coloration, however, it is far more like Ambulyx.
