Ehilaynpelus vitis and fasciatus, the synonymy given in full according to Grote 
and the author, with the characters of the latter species (pp. 257-2G0). 
Further notes by Poey on the Cuban Sphingidm {Sph. linnei, Gr. & Rob., S. 
vitis, Linn., S. fasciata, Sulz., S. lineata. Fab., Deilephila calverlcyi, Gr., S. hy- 
daspus, Cram., and S. caricce, Linn.) occur in an appendix to the volume 
(/.c.pp. 411-412). 
Grote (Ann. Lyc. New York, viii. pp, 196-199) refers to the synonymy of 
some of his Cuban Sphingidce, especially in relation to Herrich-Schaffer’s 
results. Grote’s Erinnyis meriance = H.-Schaffer’s No. 7 ; E. rimosa (Grote) 
= the species referred by H.-SchafTer with doubt to Sphinx scyron (Cram.). 
The latter Grote thinks incapable of identification. Grote also refers to the 
synonymy of Enyo luguhris (Linn.), camertus (Cram.), and gorgon (Cram.), 
which ho regards as distinct species, and to that of Philampclus vitis (Linn.) 
and the allied forms. The total number of known Cuban species of Sphingidce 
is raised by Grote in this paper to 61, of which he gives a list {1. c. p. 203). 
Grote proposes the name of Cautethia for the genus of Sphingidao named 
by him (Enosanda, the latter name having been previously employed by 
Walker fora genus of Bombycidoe. Ann. Lyc. New York viii. p. 202. 
Co(pierel refers to an example of Sphinx eson (Cram.) which was found in 
R(5union attached to the bark of a tree by cryptogamic threads, said by Lucas 
to belong to Torruhia sphingum (Schw. & Tub). Guerin also notices the 
occurrence of similar cryptogamous parasites on a Sphinx from the Maiuitius.

Acherontia atropos. Various notes on this species occur in the Entomolo- 
gist, vol. iii. By P. Andrews (p. 2), C. A. Johns (p. 3), W. H. Taylor and 
T. A. Preston on the sound produced by the moth (pp. 3-4), A. Davidson 
on its occurrence in Orkney (p. 6), A. von Glehn on the emergence of 
imagos from pupae which had produced parasites (p. 28), and S. Norman

Deilephila elpenor. Girard notices the preference of the larva of this species 
for the Fuchsia as a food-plant, and its occun’ence on this plant in consider- 
able abundance about Paris. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1866, p, xlix.
