 Several male specimens, imperfectly preserved, have been sent to our museum from the Coromandel 

 Coast. Donovan gives a figure representing the upper surface of P. Sesia.

 Wings yellow ; the anterior above with a broad black apex marked with a yellow or fulvous band : 

 underneath a posterior series of ocellate dots passes through all the wings, while the fore-

 This insect was not observed in Java, but various specimens from Continental India are contained in our 

 museum, among which is a variety resembling in its upper sm-face the insect figured on Cramer's 229th 

 plate. Although the peculiarities of our 71st, 72d and 73d species are detailed with considerable perspicuity 

 in the Encyclopedie, their discrimination requires some attention, in consequence of their resemblance in 

 habit and painting. Having examined the specimen of Pap. D. C. Sesia of Fabricius contained in the 

 Banksian Cabinet, I have been induced to annex the synonym of that insect to the P. Marianne of Cramer ; 

 and from a similar examination of the P. Rhexia, 1 have to state, that I cannot discover any difference 

 between that insect and P. Pirene as described in the Enc. Meth.

 Wings yellow ; anterior pair above with a large medial fulvous patch, the border and a discoidal 

 spot being black ; in the female the fulvous patch is more extensive, and spreads towards the 

 base, which is irrorated with gray, and the posterior margin bears a series of yellow wedge- 

 shaped spots ; hinder wings in both sexes with black posterior border : underneath all the
