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

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

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

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