THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a com- plete list of all the genera and species of Sphingide known to exist in the different collections. The letters ey ae &c., after the species, denote the specimens now contain in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.
