described the larva, it lives on the two Rubiaceae: Ourouparia guianensis and Sabicea aspera, and on each 
of them in an entirely different form adapted to the plant. The form living on Ourouparia is bluish-green, 
dorsallv whitish with 7 white lateral stripes, the first and last of which are broader and whiter; the form living 
on Sabicea is more yellowish-green with chestnut-red lateral stripes and dorsal line and an undulated subdorsal 
stripe on the first to third segments. 
S. gehleni Closs which is doubtfully regarded as a species is described as follows: closely allied with 
ceculus Cr., the yellow lateral spot on the abdomen only extends to one segment; the dark postdiscal band of 
the forewing above extends from the costal margin like a wedge with straight margins, not curved; the apical 
area of the forewing beneath shows a rusty brown, triangular, sharply defined costal-marginal spot followed 
by a rusty brown rectangular spot which is somewhat faded downwards. Rio Songo, Bolivia. Acording to 
Gehlen it may be only a form of ceculus. 
S. blaini H.-Schdff. ( = aedon Bsd.) is a smaller rare species from the West Indies. Forew'ing black 
with a whitish hyaline macular stripe; hindwing quite black, Tegulae light-edged inside. Abdomen, contrary 
to the following species, without a white transverse band on the 4th segment, intensely intermixed with 
olive yellow. Cuba; Jamaica; Porto Rico. 
S. tantalus L. (= ixion L., sisyphus Burm., titan Burm.) (98 B g) is the smallest of the 3 similar 
following species;' well discernible by the traceable or absent light brownish median band of the forewing, 
composed of 2 or 3 undulate transverse lines, without distinct white spots or only with a very small one; 
there are always only 3 small white subterminal hyaline spots, the uppermost being the largest and often 
bipartite. Hindwing without a white anal spot. The C occasionally shows a short yellowish discal band on 
the hindwing. The nomenclatural form flies from Surinam and Venezuela to Argentina. — zonata Dru. (= ter- 
punctata Goeze, tantalus Wkr., tripuncta Btlr.) is very little different, the white subterminal spots are reduced in 
size and number. Slight genital differences. — eumelas Jord. is a special insular form from Jamaica, similar to 
the Mexican form, jet-black above, head and thorax greenish; palpi white below, pectus creamy whitish like 
the bases of the wings beneath, sharply contrasting with the abdomen which is not grey at the base and also 
scarcely shows grey median lines. — clavipes R. & J. {= tantalus Grt., Edw.), from Mexico and Central America, 
also occurs as an alpine form in the South-American Andes to the south as far as Tucuman. Generally somewhat 
larger than eumelas, the disc of the forewing occasionally with a small white dot. As the structure of the 
anterior tarsus differs somewhat from that of eumelas, Jordan regards this form now as a distinct species; 
also slight genital differences. Larva unknown. 
S. titan Or. (— fadus Btlr., tantalus Wkr.) (98 B f) is very near to the following species, but differs in 
the following marks: there are 4 or 5 small white hyaline spots on the forewing, which are not parted; hindwing 
more extensively and densely scaled white. The 0 exhibits 2 thick black scale-tufts on the anterior leg, one at 
the end of the femur, the second at the end of the tibia. Widely distributed in the whole neotropical region, 
occasionally it also passes over to North America. — The larva resembles so much that of fadus that it’ is 
difficult to distinguish, the colour is somewhat more bluish-green, the dorsum more whitish, with a dark green, 
dorsal line and feeble oblique stripes, the first and last being broader and whiter, the last with a yellow and 
pink hue. A brown variety occurs, too. It lives on Randia formosa (Rubiacea) and very rarely on Genipa 
americana. 
S. fadus Cr. (= annulosum Swains., balteata Kirtl., tantalus Wkr., titan Burm.) (98 B f) is like the 
preceding species, but invariably with 4—7 white hyaline spots which are mostly divided into 2 lunae, and 
without the black tufts on the anterior legs. Range the same as that of titan, but also in Cuba and Haiti. — 
The larva exactly resembles that of titan, but it may be somewhat more yellowish green and lives exclusively 
on Genipa americana (Rubiacea). — fiavosignata Gloss shows a median band on the hindwing dusted yellow 
from the costal margin. From Blumenau. 
49. Genus: XlaciiBorrliagia Grt. & Rob. 
It comprises the small group of Macroglossa which are almost uniformly represented in the northern 
latitudes of the Old and New World, but are entirely absent in the tropics. Eyes ciliated; antenna club-shaped 
with a short terminal hook which is suddenly bent downwards. Abdomen with an anal tuft which can be 
broadly spread like a fan. Anterior tibia with a long terminal spur. Wings entirely margined, more or less 
hyaline in the disc, strewn with very loose scales, and with a densely scaled marginal band. Genital*apparatus 
of a remarkably unsymmetrical structure. 
Type: H. thy she F. 
H. thysfoe F. (= etolus Bsd., pelasgus Cr., ruficaudis Ky.) (98 B g) is a large species; body olive 
excepting the 4th and 5th deep dark chestnut-red segments, the 6th segment mostly exhibits such a median 
spot, anal tuft black laterally, red-brown in the centre. Wings hyaline with a broad chestnut-red marginal 
band and margins, the former band projecting between the veins with pointed dents and being widened on 
vein 5. Basal area likewise red-brown with olive hair. The hyaline areas may vary greatly in extent. The 
nomenclatural form is widely distributed in the Atlantic States as far as the Mississippi. — cimbiciformis Stph.
