The descriptions of both Mr. Walker and Mr. Butler were taken from unique 

 specimens that are much faded, and therefore do not state the natural colours of 

 this beautiful insect. 



Subfamily MACROGLOSSIN^. 



Imago generally with externally angulated palpi ; antennee often gradually thicker 

 from the base to the ajoex ; thorax large and prominent ; abdomen of male always
