Raphael Meldola translation

The following species not referred to in the previous part of this work are figured by Semper (Beit. zur Entwicklungsgeschichte einiger ostasiat. Schmet.; Verhandl. d. k.k. zoo. bot. Gesell. in Wien, 1867):—Panacra Scapularis, Walk.; Chærocampa Clotho, Drury; and Diludia (Macrosila) Discistriga, Walk. The following are figured by Boisduval and Guenée. (Spéc. Gén. 1874):—Smerinthus Ophthalmicus, Boisd.; Sphinx Jasminearum, Boisd.; S. (Hyloicus) Plebeia, Fabr.; S. (Hyloicus) Cupressi, Boisd.; S. (Pseudosphinx) Catalpæ, Boisd.; Philampelus Jussiuæ, Hübn. (= Sphinx Vitis, Linn.?); and Ceratomia Amyntor, Hübn. As the works of Abbot and Smith, and Horsfield and Moore have been exhausted by Dr. Weismann, it is quite unnecessary to extend this note by giving a list of the species figured by these authors.
