FIGuRES 126, 127. 
Jones records a specimen taken in 1848 by Canon Tristram. I do 
not know of any record of its recent capture, but that is of no great 
Importance as evidence, for the Bermudian insects have been little 
studied in summer. It is native of the middle and southern United 
States.

PuateE XCVIL; Ficures 1, 2. 
The only common large sphinx. Its very large larva feeds on 
the leaves of the sweet-potato and other species of Zpomoa, and on 
wild jasmine. Geddes says that it feeds also on Asimina triloba. 
* Mr. H. G. Dyar considers this a variety of the European species, convolvult 
(L.), and writes the name Phlegothontius convolvuli, var. cingulatus.
