Pylene, Feld. Sitz. Akad. Wiss. xliii. 29. 



Atnboina. 



Macroglossa vacillans. 



Mas. Subcinereo-fttsca ; palpi subtus albi ; pectus pallide fulvum, 

 antice albidum; abdomen maculis octo lateralibus ochraceis, 

 subtus fer rug ineum ; alee an ticce fascia lineisque tribus undu- 

 latis exterioribus obscurioribus indistinctis ; posticus ochracca, 

 margine lato diffusa nigro-fusco. 



Male. Dark brown, slightly tinged with cinereous. Palpi 

 white beneath. Pectus pale tawny, whitish in front. Abdomen 

 with eight ochraceous spots ; one on each side of the first four seg- 

 ments ; under side and under side of the wings ferruginous-red. 

 Fore wings with an indistinct darker band before the middle, and 

 with three indistinct darker undulating lines beyond the middle. 

 Hind wings deep ochraceous, with a broad diffuse blackish brown 

 border, which is abbreviated towards the iuterior angle. Length of 

 the body 18 lines ; of the wings 24 lines. 



It differs from M. gyrans in the luteous marks on each side of 

 the abdomen, which do not extend to the fore borders of the seg- 

 ments, and are thus not connected together, in the apical segment 

 of the abdomen, which has no cinereous or white tinge, and in the 

 fore wings towards the costa, where the two dark transverse lines 

 beyond the middle, are less deeply retracted. 



Timor. In Mr. Saunders' collection, 



Macroglossa approximata. 



Mas. Fusca, caput subtus album ; pectus venterque testaceo- 

 albida ; abdomen viridi nilens maculis lateralibus nigricanti- 

 bus luteisque ; ala? antica? lineis paucis obscurioribus indis- 

 tinctis obliquis subundulatis ; posticce rufescente-ochracea, 

 fusco late marginatce.
