M. soror R. & J . (66 d). Similar to the following milvus, the rusty yellow lateral spots of the abdomen soror. 
are not separated from each other, in the forewing the stigma is larger, the 1st antemedian line straighter, the 
2nd farther distally touching the stigma; hindwing orange-red, distally rusty brownish, without a yellow band, 
without a darker base. Separated from the preceding species by the almost absent first and curved second 
discal lines, a distinct stigma, darker hindwings, and 4 (instead of 3) lateral spots of the abdomen. Bourbon. 
M. milvus Bsdv. (= pandora Guer., mylous Men., melvus Rothsch.) (66 d). Hindwing rusty red, with milvus. 
a subbasal yellow band, at the base black. Bourbon, Mauritius; Madagascar. 
M. aesalon Mab. (66 e). Similar to milvus , the discal lines in the forewing more contrasting, the hindwing aesdlon. 
with a broad yellow median band. Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoro Is. 
M. pachycerus R. <Sc J. (66 e). Similar to aesalon, antennae longer and thicker, abdomen with 3 orange pachycerus. 
lateral spots, the abdominal segments 5—7 contrastingly black, the base of the 6th white, the central spots 
on the under surface of the 1st to 3rd segments almost white. Fore wing darker, the markings less distinct, 
the space between the discal lines filled with blackish, stigma absent. The orange band of the hindwing is 
narrower. Hindwing beneath with a distally sharply defined shorter yellow area at the anal margin, transverse 
lines quite indistinct. Madagascar. 
M. trochilus Hbn. (= fasciatum Wllgr., lysithous Bsdv.) (66 e). Antennae very long, body olive green, irochilus. 
abdomen with an orange lateral streak. Forewing with olive green transverse bands, also the discal area more 
or less dusted with olive green. Hindwing dark red-brown with an orange median band, the dark marginal 
band separated by a broad purple brown zone from the yellow median band. South and East Africa, Comoro 
Is. — The West-African race trochiloides Btlr. is often smaller, the forewing more monotonous, the hindwing irochiloides. 
with a pure yellow band and a broader black, narrow purple marginal band. 
48. Genus: Yjeiacosti’opliiis R. u. J. 
Separated from Macroglossum by the short last antennal joint and the stalked veins 3 and 4 in the 
hindwing being separated. 
L. commasiae Wkr. (66 e). Belt of abdomen on segments 3 and 4, on segment 5 in front one and commasiae. 
behind two spots, all bluish-white . West Africa. 
L. hirundo Gerst. (66 e). Belt of abdomen on segments 4 and 5, dorsally in front and behind broadly hirundo. 
indented, chalk-coloured, rarely with a bluish tint. South and East Africa. 
Subfamily: Choerocampinae. 
The only subfamily in which the bristly appendage on each side of the base of the proboscis (the 
remnants of the mandibles?) is divided into two parts, the distal one being set with long bristly hairs. Last 
antennal joint oblong, almost without scales, at the end with 6 or more bristles. Tibiae never spiked, posterior 
tibiae always with 2 pair of spurs. Paronychium always on each side with two lobes. 
49. Genus: Celerlo Oken. 
First palpal joint inside at the apex without dense scales, the 2nd joint inside without a long apical 
scale-tuft. Antennal ends thickened. Margin of forewing entire. 
A geopolitically distributed genus, in the Ethiopian Region only 1 species. 
C. biguttala Wkr. (= eleagni Bsdv., euphorbioides Sirh.) (66 f). Pulvillus present. Abdomen with 2 biguiiata. 
distinctly black lateral spots. In the forewing the veins are not paler, the costal-marginal area not contrastingly 
darker, without a darker basal band, rather monotonously coloured, marginal area broad darker, obliquely 
bordered by a reddish ochreous line. Hindwing black with a dark red discal band, at the anal margin paler, 
the marginal area narrow cream-coloured. Madagascar. 
50. Genus: Cliaerocina R. u. J. 
The second palpal joint does not rest broad on the first, distinctly separated, smoothly scaled, without 
a terminal tuft inside, the first joint without a cavity outside at the end, this joint also scaled, inside at the 
end with but few scales. One species: 
Ch. dohertyi R. A J. (66 f). Forewing brown, with a darker subbasal band, a black stigma-ring and dohertyi. 
an oblique straight line from the apex. Hindwing pinkish-red, the base and submarginal band black. British 
East Africa.
