Several male specimens, imperfectly preserved, have been sent to our museum from the Coroniandel 

 Coast. Donovan gives a figure representing the upper surface of P. Sesia.

This insect was not observed in Java, but various specimens from Continental India are contained in our 

 museum, among which is a variety resembling in its upper surface the insect figured on Cramer's 229th 

 plate. Although the peculiarities of our 71st, 72d and 73d species are detailed with considerable perspicuity 

 in the Encyclopedie, their discrimination requires some attention, in consequence of their resemblance in 

 habit and painting. Having examined the specimen of Pap. D. C. Sesia of Fabricius contained in the 

 Banksian Cabinet, I have been induced to annex the synonym of that insect to the P. Marianne o{ CrameT ; 

 and from a similar examination of the P. Rhexia, 1 have to state, that I cannot discover any difference 

 between that insect and P. Pireneas described in the Enc. Meth.
