a new genus and two new species of Spkingidce. 397 



C. elpenor ; should not Oreus porous, Hiibn., therefore, 

 take another name ? I am very glad to see that M'Leay's 

 species are at last identified ; I could make nothing of the 

 descriptions myself, but shall be glad to adopt Mr. Kirby's 

 determination, and thus lay them on the shelf, though I 

 cannot guess how he made them out. 



Pachylia lyncea is hardly likely to be identical with the 

 species which I have diagnosed from Haiti ; still, as Mr. 

 Kirby says, it may be. 



The drawing of P. Kadeni, Schauf., which Mr. Kirby 

 kindly sent me for examination (and of which I took a 

 copy), is, I should say, identical with Cramer's P. aclie- 

 menides, and probably with Walker's Oryba rohusta ; in 

 my Revision I adopted Hiibner's name, Clanis, for P. 

 achemenides, but if this species be the same as or con- 

 generic with Oryba rohusta, the genus Basiana of Walker 

 must necessarily fall before Clanis (not because Hiibner's 

 two first species of Clanis are referable to Walker's genus 

 Basiana, but because Oryba was first characterized). 



At page 239 Mr. Kirby says, " The following five 

 Sphinges are not noticed by Butler;" he then enumerates, 

 first, S. pagana, Fabricius, and says, " The type should be 

 in the Banksian Collection." I must call his attention to 

 page 596 of my Revision, where this species is quoted in 

 full as a synonym of Basiana pltalaris, and the following 

 statement occurs with it : — " The type of S. pagana of 

 Fabricius is in the Banksian Collection in the British 

 Museum." 



The second species, S. jasmini of Boisduval, was 

 doubtless -vvi-ongly copied in my list of that author's 

 species, and subsequently erased, as already explained. 



The third species. Sphinx orneus of Westwood, is, I 

 admit, a careless oversight ; it appears to be referable to 

 Everyx. 



Sphinx sanguinosa of Martyn, the fourth species, is a 

 true ZygcBnid (referable io Empyreum a lychas, Fabr.); 

 and the fifth species, Spltinx argentijiora, is a Zygcunoid 

 Arctiid of the genus Charidea. 



I now proceed to the description of new forms : — 



Mackoglossin^e. 



HypvEDAlea, nov. gen. 



Allied to Lophura, but the wings considerably broader, 

 in form more nearly like Pachygonia ; the abdomen 

 gradually expanding from its base backwards, abruptly
