Abstract
IN NATURE (vol. viii. p. 223) I have spoken of a Sphinx which, with its proboscis of 0.25 metre length, would be capable of obtaining nearly all the nectar of Anagræcum sésquipedale. Lately my brother, Fritz Müller (Itajahy, Prov. St. Catharina, Brazil), sent me the wings of another specimen of the same species, and Dr. Staudinger, of Dresden, stated by comparison of these wings with the Sphingidæ of his collection that the name of the species is Macrosilic cluentius, Cramer.
