Deilephila with the fore wings of an olivo buff, darker along the costa, and with a dusky cloud in the middle, close to which is a very minute dark dot, a dark patch at the base of the inner margin, and a nearly straight dark streak from rather beyond the middle of the inner margin to the tip of the wing (preceded by two or three very indistinct dusky streaks,) and followed by a dark olive-brown space ; the hind wings are black-brown, with the anal angle broadly buff with a slight rosy tinge ; body olive-brown, with a white stripe at the sides of the head and thorax, and with two black spots at the base of the abdomen. Expansion of the fore wings 3 and 3/4 inches. Inhabits Central India and Ceylon. In the Collections of Col. Hearsey :and Dr. Templeton. Description.—The antennae, as well as the under-side of the head and breast, are pale with a whitish buff, with a slight rosy tinge, which also appears ou the pale sides of the head. The abdomen is very loug aud pointed at the tip ; the sides behind the black spots paler than the back. The legs are pale butt', and the costa of the fore wings is edged with fulvous.
