Obscure Sphinx
This small species is well represented in our plate by a specimen which in the main conforms to the most usual style of marking. It can always be distinguished from E. ello, which it resembles in having a dark longitudinal shade through the fore wings, by its much smaller size, and by the absence of the white and black lateral stripes upon the abdomen, which are characteristic of the latter species. It is common in Florida.
