 rather paler; secondaries as in II. passalus, but with the yellow band rather broader, 

 clearer, and more sharply defined ; body as in M . belts ; wings and body below almost 

 precisely as in II. corythus. Expanse of wings 2 inches 1 line.

 I can see no reason why this species should be separated from Macroglossa.
