94 sphingid^:. 



spurs very short, two pairs to hind tibia, the proximal pair 

 almost concealed under the scaling. SC 2 and R 1 of hind 

 wing separate ; R 2 from centre of cell. Sexual armature of 

 the Dolbina type. 



" $. Unknown" (Roths. & Jord., I. c). 



Hab. W. Himalayas. One Indian species.

 Dolbinopsis grisea, Roths. & Jord., 1903, p. 159 ; Jordan, 1911, 

 p. 237 ; Seitz, 1928, p. 532, t. 61 a. 



Imago. — $. Markings similar to those of Dolbina inexacta, 

 but differing in the ground-colour of head, thorax and abdomen 

 being grey ; the black lines similar, but no white on thorax. 

 Fore wing similarly marked, but the ground-colour grey. 

 Hind wing pale fuscous ; cilia grey, with black points at ner- 

 vules, not chequered black and white. Expanse : 52 mm. 



J. Tenth abdominal tergite broad, obtusely triangular, 

 curved downward distally, more suddenly narrowed from the 

 point of curvature to the end ; sternite with a divided lobe, 

 the two halves slender. Clasper (fig. 17 A) without patch of 

 modified scales, broadly rounded, broadest beyond middle ; 

 harpe with a finger-like ventro-distal process, and two dorsal 

 processes, of which the proximal one is the narrower. Penis - 

 funnel obliquely truncate ; penis-sheath (fig. 17 B) armed 

 with a horizontal tooth pointing sinistro-laterad ; on the 

 inner side of the sheath opposite the tooth there is a patch of 

 spines, which are visible from the outer side as fine dots. 



9. and early stages unknown. 



Hab. W. Himalayas (Kulu). Very rare, only a few $$ 

 known.

Genotype : tancrei Stgr. 



Imago. — " $Q. Differs from Sj^hingulus and Kentochry sails 

 [two non-Indian genera] in the much more robust thorax and 

 abdomen, in the stronger spinulation of the latter, the presence 

 of weak spines also on the sternites, the less slender antenna?, 

 the segments of which are not rounded- dilate laterad and 

 have longer cilia ventrally in the proximal series. Antenna 

 of $ rather thick in basal fourth. 



" <$. Tenth abdominal tergite broad and short, triangularly 

 narrowed at end, minutely sinuate ; upperside scaled mesially ; 

 sternite with two short, straight processes. Penis-sheath 

 armed with an apical tooth, curving sinistro-laterad. No
