The genus is diagnosed ( Vetenskaps Academie?is Handlijigar, 

 1816, pp. 207 — 208) by Dalman, as follows: 



Hemaris. — Caput prominulum palpis magnis densissime squamatis 1. pilosis, 

 obtusis, marginem superiorem oculorum attingentibus ; prominulis. Lingua 

 distincta longitudine corporis. Antennae rigidae distinctius clavatae apice 

 acuminato (maris cylindrico - prismaticae subtus scobinae formes ciliatae, feminae 

 muticae). Alae breves minus angustatae, saepe fenestratae. Abdo?nen crassum, 

 lateribus fasciculosum, ano barbato. Larva elongata laevis, cornu anali ; capite 

 globoso. Puppa intra folia 1. quisquilias subfolliculata. Typus GENERIS : He?naris 

 fuciformis. 



This author's genus was heterogeneric, since he included (loc. 

 cit., pp. 215 — 216) stellatarum as. well as fuciformis and tityus (bombyli- 

 formis) therein, but as he selected fuciformis as the type, this restricts 

 its use to the clear-winged species. The characters are sufficiently 

 wide, however, to include our subfamily Sesiinae. Meyrick described 

 the genus (restricting it to the clear-winged species) as follows 

 (Handbook, p. 293) : 



Tongue strongly developed. Antennae over half, gradually thickened to near 

 apex, then pointed, apex slender, hooked. Abdomen broad, hairy, with broad, 

 truncate, expansible anal tufts. Tibiae densely hairy. Wings with disc trans- 

 parent. 



He discriminates the two British species as : 



Hindwings with a blackish terminal line . . . . . . botnbyliformis. 



Hindwings with a dark red-brown terminal fascia . ^ . . fuciformis.
