Moreton Bay (Gibbons). Type, B.M. 



It is possible that this may prove to be a variety of the preceding. I think, however, 

 considering their differences, Mr. Walker would scarcely have been justified in uniting 

 them, there being only one example of each in the collection. 



17. Nephele vau. 



Zonilia vau, Walker, Lep. Het. iii. p. 197. no. 11 (1856).

(Kartoum) Abyssinia (Lucas) ; 1 Typ e > B.M. 



The figure by Lucas represents the species as much redder than our example, but 

 does not otherwise differ. 



Zonilia antipoda, rhadama, and zebu of Boisduval appear to be MS. names (cf. p. 630).

Java (Horsfield) ; Ceylon (Cuming) ; North India (James). B.M. 



This genus, as shown by Horsfield and Moore's figures of its earlier stages, clearly 



belongs to the Sphinginae ; in general coloration, however, it is far more like Ambulyx.
