MACROGLOSSA ULALUME. 
Upper surface all wings blackish, darkest on basal half and at abdominal margin of secondaries ; a com- 
mon broad semi-diaphanous band a shade or so paler than ground colour crosses both wings, this band on the 
secondaries does not extend to inner margin and shows towards its inner extremity a few scattered scarce notice- 
able yellow scales. 
Under surface as above, dark colour more dull; some loose orange hairs on basal part of primaries, and 
the inner termination of the mesial band of secondaries is slightly clothed with sulphur coloured scales. 
One (j from Oregon. 
This beautiful species is near to M. Flavofasciata, Barnston, but differs notably in the black collar and thorax, in the absence of 
the bright yellow mesial band of secondaries, as well as in its greater size. 
SPHINX VASHTI. Nov. Sp. 
(PLATE XV, FIG. 4 Jh) 
Male. Expands 3 inches. 
Head and thorax above whitish grey, patagke edged with a velvety black line ; abdomen darker grey 
with heavy black dorsal line and white and black demi-bands on the sides. Beneath grey with a conspicuous 
black ventral line on abdomen ; legs brown. 
Upper surface ; primaries dark grey ; a broad whitish or whitish grey dash extends from base, half the 
length of the wing, along the costa, not reaching quite to the edge of the latter ; at and within the inner edge 
of this whitish band the wing is strongly suffused with blackish ; a hlack apical line, also four other 
abbreviated black lines in the cells, the last of which is almost lost in the darkness interior to the great pale 
basal band ; exteriorly a whitish submarginal band, edged inwardly by a black line broad near the inner angle 
but decreasing to a point not far from apex. 
Secondaries whitish grey with broad black mesial and submarginal bands. Fringes of all wings dark 
grey except near anal angle and on abdominal margin of secondaries where they are white. 
Under surface primaries smoky grey, a little paler at exterior margin ; an inconspicuous black apical line. 
Secondaries whitish grey obscured on basal half of costa with darker grey, mesial and submarginal bands well 
defined but not as dark as above. 
One S' from Arizona in coll. Xeumoegen. 
Belongs to the group of S. Chersis, Hub., and occupies a position between that species and S. Perelegans ,* Hy. Edwds., from 
California, which latter is easily distinguished from the present species by its coal-black occiput and thorax which serve to connect it 
with Drupiferarum, Ab.-S., and Gordius, Cram. The relative position of the N. Am. Sphingidse comprising this group would be some- 
what in this wise :

HEPIALUS SANGARIS. Nov. Sp. 
(PLATE XV, FIG. 5.) 
Male. Expands 1 to 1| inches. 
Head and thorax salmon coloured; it is impossible to determine the colour of the abdomen owing to its 
being badly greased. 
Upper surface ; primaries salmon red ; brighter red on costa ; two transverse white bands edged with red 
lead colour do not reach to the costa; a small white half obsolete mark towards base. Secondaries smoky 
fringed with reddish. Under surface ; primaries reddish grey with edge of costa red, secondaries much as above. 
Two males from Arizona.
