The classification of several of the groups formerly classed as Sphinges 
and Bomhyces is discussed by A. Gurnee, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) vii.

A. G. Butler has published a Revision of the Heterocerous Lepidoptera 
of the family Sphingidoe ; Tr. Z. S. ix. pp. 511-644, pis. xc.-xciv., figuring 
and describing many new species and unpublished transformations. He 
divides the SphingidcrAnto the six following subfamilies : — Macroglossinw, 
ChoerocampincB, Amhulicince, Smerinthince, Acherontiinen, and Sphinginev. 
The paper is preceded by a sketch of the principal systematic works on 
the group, a list of genera, showing their range, and the characters of 
the subfamilies. At the end is given a short summary of Boisduval’s 
now species. The Recorder cannot here attempt to notice the numerous 
corrections of synonymy and minor notes in this important Revision. 
A. G. Butler figures and redescribes Chcerocampa crotonis and Darapsa 
rhodocera, Walk., p. 1, figs. 1 & 2, and his own Amhulyx marginata,

W. F. Kirby (Tr. E. Soc. 1877, pp. 233-244) publishes notes on new or 
rare Sphingidoe in the Museum of the Royal Dublin Society, making 
some additions and corrections to Butler’s recent revision of the family, 
and describing several new species.
