558 ME. A. G-. BTJTLEE ON THE SPHINGLTLE. 



Deilephila celerio, Stephens, 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. i. p. 128 (1828). 

 Hippotion ocys, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 135. no. 1451 (1816) 

 Deilephila inquilina, Harris, Ex. p. 93, pi. 28. fig. 1. 



England (British Coll.) ; Natal (Krauss, Gueinzius) ; Zoolu country (Angas) ; South 

 Africa (Smith) ; Cape, Teneriffe, North India (Argent, Stevens) ; Borneo (Lowe) ; Java 

 (Horsfield) ; Fiji (Voy. Herald); Australia (Stutchbury) ; South Australia (Bakewell) ; 

 Sidney (Lambert). B.M. 



The examples from Australia and the Fiji Islands are more brilliantly silvered than 

 those from other parts of the world ; otherwise there is no variation in the species. 



24. Ch^erocampa boisduvalii. 



Deilephila boisduvalii, Bugnion, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1839, p. 115. 



Deilephila cretica, Boisduval, Icon. Hist. Lep., Sph. p. 20. no. 2, pi. 49. fig. 2 (1832) . 



Caucasus. 



Intermediate in character between the C. celerio and C. oldenlandice groups ; Hopffer, 

 in the Stettin, ent. Zeit. p. 42. no. 130 (1874), remarks of C. lucasii, "Lucasii wird kaum 

 als Varietat von Boisduval's cretica zu trennen sein," an idea as absurd as it is original ; 

 the paper in which it appears is full of equally useful and suggestive observations, 

 the only synonymic notes of any value being, almost without exception, adopted 

 from previously published Lepidopterous Catalogues and their " Errata ;" he has, how- 

 ever, rightly restored Daphnis hypothoihs to its genus, which Walker had most incom- 

 prehensibly failed to do. 



25. Cilerocampa cel^eno. 



Sphinx celano, Esper, Schmett. ii. tab. xxviii. Cont. iii. fig. 2 (1779). 

 Sphinx gordius, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. p. 147, pi. 367. fig. A (1782). 

 Chcerocampa gordius, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 138. no. 19 (1856). 



Natal (Gueinzius); Cape (Drege) ; Zoolu (Angas) ; South Africa (Pamplin). B.M. 

 Esper's figure unquestionably represents the Sphinx gordius of Cramer. 



26. Chjerocampa caius. 



Sphinx cajus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. ii. p. 80, pi. 146. fig. F (1779). 

 Xylophones cajus, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 136. no. 1459 (1816). 

 Chcerocampa cuius, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 139. no. 20 (1856). 



Cape. 



Mr. Walker queries this as C. oldenlandia?, var. ; I believe myself that it is a bad 

 representation of C. celceno. 



& I 27. Chcerocampa saclayorum. , 

 Deilephila saclavorum, Boisduval, Faune Ent. de Madag. p. 71. no. 1, pi. 10. fig. 6 (1833). 

 Madagascar. 

 This species may perhaps belong to the D. clotho group.
