Macrosila. Grote indicates (/. c. pp. 67-68) that this genus, which cor- 
responds to a certain extent with Protoparce (Burm.), has been confused by 
Walker and Clemens. He proposes to restrict it to Sphinx rmtica (Fab.), 
Carolina (Linn.), cingidata (Linn.), and ochm (King) and the other species 
agreeing with these in character. 
Earapm. The same author remarks (7 c. p. 81) that Darapsa (Walk.) is 
identical with Otus (Hiibn.), and gives the preference to the latter name as 
having the priority. But Otus was long preoccupied by Cuvier for a genus 
of Birds. The American species of the genus, according to Grote, who gives 
their synonymy in full, are O. chorilm (Cram.), O. myron (Cram.), O. ver- 
sicolor (Harr.), and O. pholus (Cram.). Darapsa rhodoccra (Walk) is re- 
garded by Grote as the t}’^pe of a distinct genus. 
Kirby has published a synopsis of the European species of this family 
(Ent. M. Mag. i.). He gives a table (1. c. p. 209) of the genera, 11 in number. 
Following Walker, he divides Macroglossa into two genera, retaining that 
name for the clear-winged species, and applying the name of Scsia to the group 
including M. stellatarum. The number of species recorded is as follows : — Ma- 
croglossa 2, Scsia 2, Proserpinus 2, Chcerocampa 5, Pergcsa 1, Deilcphila 9, 
Daphnis 1, Sjdiinx 2, Anceryx 1, Achcrontia 1, and Laothoe 6=31 in all. Of 
these, 18 occur in Britain. 
Of this family JL6 species are cited by Fauvel (Mem. Soc. Linn. Norm, 
tome xiii.) as inhabitants of the department of Calvados, including, in 
addition to our British species, Macroglossa fuciformis and homhyliformisy 
Deilcphila lineata^ and Sphinx pinastri. 
Ballion enumerates 13 species of this family in his Catalogue of the Le- 
pidoptera of Gorki (Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. xxxvii. pt. 1. pp. 363-366). They 
are all generally distributed in Europe. 
The following known species of this family are described and figured by 
Bremer, M^m. Acad. St. P^tersb. tome viii. : — Smerinthus maacldi (Brem.), 
1. c. p. 34, pi. 3. fig. 11 ; S. dissimilis (Brem.), 1. c. p. 35, pi. 3. fig. 12 ; Ma- 
croglossa affinis (Brem.), ibid., pi. 3. fig. 13. 
Chcerocampa celerio. Notes on the occurrence of this species in various 
places are published by Winter in Ent. M. Mag. ii. p. 117; by Horn, /. c. 
p. 132 ; by Kingston, 1. c. p. 133 ; and. by Postans, 1. c. p. 162.
