P. 551. Panacra. Of the widely distributed P.busiris (64 a) two more forms are known: marina R. & J . : 
smaller than most of the buseris. Margin of forewing less angular, upper surface duller green, the 
median area smaller, particularly the narrow posterior portion, at the line distally bordering on the 
green area intensely shaded with blackish-olive, also the distal portion of the forewing more intensely 
dark brown; from the Andamans. - atina R. <4- J., from South India (rainy season), with a less green 
upper surface and a still narrower median area, the two lines bordering on the latter more separated. 
Under surface of a brighter and more unicoloured rusty yellow. 
P. 552. To the forms allied to mydon we may add the form belonging to automedon (64 a): niasana Clk. from 
the I. of Nias, and angulata Clk., from Sumatra. - psaltria Jord., from the Volcano of Kina Balu in 
Borneo, is similar to malayana, but the forewing is narrower, the brown apical spot is continued towards 
the base by an olive stripe dying away in the olive disc; from the marginal angle a broad dark diffuse 
streak extends horizontally to the base of the costal margin, and 2 more streaks enclosing a lighter 
triangle. Under surface brighter as in splendens (64 b). Length of forewing: 28 mm. 
P. 554. Cizara. A third species is known of this genus: — C. schausi Clk., though only 1 specimen the patria 
of which is unknown. 
P. 558. Macroglossum. From M. poecilum (56 Cc) a form modestum R. <£■ J. was separated. — P. 559, in M. 
hirundo read: navigatorum Rbl. not Clk. — A number of newly described species must be added, such as 
M. lepidum R. d- J. nearing fruhstorferi (p. 557), though it is smaller, the hindwing being quite yellow, 
only at the extreme base and at the margin more narrowly black; from Nias. 
M. oceanicum R.d-J. is somewhat like corythus (p. 561), but the forewing has a more obtuse apex 
and a more convex margin, the submarginal band from the costal margin to the posterior margin being broadest 
at the costa and half as broad at the inner margin. The yellow band of the hindwing is sharply defined, anteriorly 
as far as the base and apex of the costal margin, in the centre reduced to % of the width of the marginal band. 
Salomons. 
P.560. For Macr. nigillum read: M. nigellurn Rothsch. 
amoenum R. A J ., from Banka, similar to parsalus, but smaller, the lateral hair of the 3 segments before 
the tail-tuft with white tips, and the antemedian band of the forewing is more oblique; the distal border of 
this band at the inner margin just as far away from the distal margin as at the costal margin. 
M. stenoxanthum Trnr., from Queensland (Kuranda), is similar to meeki (56 C c) from New Guinea, 
but the forewing shows before the margin a grey shadow without the broad blackish subterminal band, on the 
hindwing the posterior border of the orange band is straight, the abdomen without the white spots on the 
dorsum of the 3rd ring. 
Another species was described from the Timorlaut Is.: tenimberi Clk .; this species as well as the species 
doddi Clk. from Queensland, and haslami Clk. from the Philippine Is. have remained unknown to me. • 
P. 563. Celerio. Another form similar to C. wilsoni (67 a) has been discovered in the Sandwich Is.: — C. 
perkinsi Sivezai. — From the very remote Christmas I. a species of Hippotion was described: 
nod Clk. 
From South China Mell described a “Hippotion“: chancliowensis though without stating its size, 
systematic position and resemblance to any other species; it might belong to this group here, the colouring 
and marking being wood-coloured; from West Yunnan, at an altitude of 2600 m. 
Allied to this genus and the preceding genera is also the genus Xylophanes. All the species are exclusively 
American, the only Indo-Australian species was described from the Philippine Is.: X. transpacifica which, 
however, is certainly no genuine Xylophanes, but belongs to an eastern genus; we have mentioned this form as 
a Cechenena on p. 570. 
P. 568. Theretra. Another species was described from the Philippine Is.: manilae Clk., as well as radiosa 
R. d- J . which is extremely similar to rhesus Bsd. (67 b). The abdomen shows bright stripes, but it 
lacks the mediodorsal line; on the hindwing the 4th line is broad and connected at the posterior margin 
with the black basal macula. New Guinea, Fergusson I.
