394C6E68FFAD3E7CE140FCCEFDFEF828.taxon	discussion	This variety is known from the Moluccas and Tenimber [Timorlaut] Islands east to Tahiti, Austral Islands, Marquesas, and the Tuamotus. It was collected in Guam by Fullaway in 1911. Specimens in Tring Museum were recorded previous to that. We caught it at light, and also reared it. Caterpillars were found on other occasions besides those listed, but failed to mature. There are two specimens in Bishop Museum, labeled " Chroniis erotus craniptoni Clark " (male and female cotypes), named evidently for Dr. H. E. Crampton who visited Guam in 1920, the date on the specimens. I have not been able to find in literature where Clark described this variety, but I presume that it is the same insect which Rothschild and Jordan have recorded from Guam as Chroniis eroftts eras. I cannot see what differences warrant the new varietal name.	en	Swezry, O. H. (1942): Sphingidae Of Guam. In: Insects of Guam I. Honolulu, Hawaii: Bernice P.

394C6E68FFAC3E7DE1EEFCC5FD09F78B.taxon	distribution	This species has a wide distribution in the eastern hemisphere, and the island groups of the Pacific, except Hawaiian islands, where the American species Herse cingulata has been known for a long while. It is now recorded from Guam for the first time. Its caterpillars feed on morning-glory leaves (Ipomoea species). They were collected in several stages of growth and a few reared to maturity. The full grown caterpillar is about 60 mm. long, light green with an oblique bar of mauve above the spiracles. The spiracles are oval, light yellow with black centers. The egg is spherical, light green, smooth. They are placed singly on the under side of leaves. They were collected on several occasions. Sometimes the eggs are parasitized. From an egg collected on morning-glory leaf in corn field at the Agricultural School, Piti, September 15, 18 trichogrammas issued. A larger parasite was reared from eggs a few times and from different localities. This parasite issued from 4 of 9 eggs collected at Piti, July 30, which would be a parasitism of 44 percent. Perhaps these egg parasites are effective on other species of hawkmoths, and account for their scarcity in Guam.	en	Swezry, O. H. (1942): Sphingidae Of Guam. In: Insects of Guam I.
