SpHINGIDvE. 
PIerricii-Schaffer (Begensb. Corr.-Blatt, 1865, pp. 56-60) 
enumerates 46 speeies of this family sent to him by Gundlaeh 
from Cuba. Several of them are undetermined; and of these 
the author gives descriptions, but without names. 
Grote publishes (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vol. v. pp. 33-84) a 
revision of the Sphingidce of Cuba, from materials in the collec- 
tion of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia. He remarks 
that the Cuban species of this family include a preponderance of 
forms which resemble the Noctuidce, whilst in the northern parts 
of the American continent Bombycoid types are more prevalent. 
The genera Protoparce and Dilophonota of Burmeister are re- 
jected by Grote, the former being regarded as identical with Ma- 
crosila (Boisd., Walk.) and the latter with Erinnyis (Hiibn.). 
The total number of Cuban species cited is 46, of which 9 are 
described as new. Several new generic groups are proposed. 
Grote (1. c. p. 39) remarks that Sphinx brontes (Boisd.) is identical with 
Ceratomia repentmus (Clem.), and discusses the synonymy of the species. 
The same author states that Deilephila chamcenerii (Harr.) is distinct from 
the European D. galli, and indicates their difierences (/. c. p. 39). Macro- 
glossa sisyphus (Bunn.) is said by Grote to belong to Aellopos (1. c. p. 42). 
The following known species from Cuba are cited by Grote, with discussions 
on their synonymy and descriptions or indications of difierential characters : 
— Aellopos titan (Cram.), p. 41 ; A. tantalus (Linn.), p. 42 ; Pupyrrhoglosmm
