J. A. BoisduvaL has published in the Suites Buffon,” Histoire 
Naturelle des Insectes. Species General des Lepidopt^res. H^t^rocerea.

Though dated 1874, this work was not published till about February, 
1875; having been confessedly written in' 1853, and but little altered 
since. About 130 described species of true Sphingidca have been 
wholly overlooked. Felder’s new genera and species are characterized, 
and localities given. Many species, described as new, are named 
after the plants on which the larvae are supposed to feed. The names 
taken up from previous authors are, as usual with Boisduval, frequently 
altogether misapplied ; thus, Brachyghssa, Boisd. (the original typo of 
which, if anything, was Acherontia atropos)^ is substituted for Ccaquosa, 
Walk. ; and Ccsquosa, Walk., is quoted as a synonym of Boisduval’s 
new genus Metagastes, although it only contains two species, one of 
which was overlooked by Walker, and the other was placed by him in 
his genus Ccequosa with doubt 1 Boisduval’s arrangement of the groups 
treated 6f in this work is as follows : — 
Sphingides : Acherontides, Smerinthides, Leucophlebides, Euryglot- 
tides, Deilephilides, Macroglossides, Endophytides. 
Sesiides : Sesiaires, Stygides, Thyrides. 
Castnides : Castniaires, Synemonides. 
A. R. GrROTE has published a Check-List of North American Sphin- ' 
gidw, Bull. Buff. Soc. ii. pp. 224-228 (74 species). It is reviewed by H. 
B. Mosciiler, S. E. Z. xxxvi. pp. 202-211. 
H. Edwards (P. Cal. Ac. v.) has published a list of the Sphingidce of 
California, amounting to 25 species, some new. Arctonotus lucidus and 
Proserpinus clarlcios, Boisd. (= Lepisesia victorioi, Grote), are redescribed ; 
Ilemaris Boisd., is noticed; Euproserpinus phaeton, Q. & R. = 
Macroglossa erato, Boisd. ; Deilephila chamcenerii, Harr., is probably 
distinct ivoraD.galii ; Smerinthus ophthalmicus, Y.pallidulus (—ophthal- 
micus, $ , Streck.) and modestus, var. or sp. n. occidentalism are described ; 
Macrosila Carolina, and probably also M. celeus, are introduced speciei 
in California ; H. Strecker thinks that Sphinx oreodaphne, Edw., may = 
chersis, Hubn., var.
