520 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE SPHINGIDJL 



The Japanese representative of H. fuciformis. M. Boisduval having described it as a 

 Macroglossa, I unfortunately overlooked his description. 





9. Hemaeis mandaeina. 

 Hemaris mandarina, Butler, P. Z. S. 1875, p. 239, pi. xxxvi. fig. 2.

12. Hemaeis saundeesii. 



Sesia saundersii, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 83. no. 7 (1856). 



North India (Stevens, Doubleclay). Type, B.M. 



This species is a complete link between the H. fuciformis group and //. kylas ; the 

 latter though different in aspect (owing to the narrow-scaled border of primaries), does 

 not, so far as I can see, differ structurally from the other species of Hemaris.

Allied to H. fuciformis, but one third larger, the body longer, different in character. 



14. Hemaeis eadians. 



Sesia radians, Walker, Lep. Het. viii. p. 84. no. 8 (1856) . 



Shanghai (Fortune). Type, B.M. 



Approaching H. thysbe in character.
