broad blotched transverse deep purple bands on joints 3, 5, 11 and 

 13, with a lateral blotch on joint 6. Feet all black. Warts dull or- 

 ange; one wart about the stigmatal wart on joints 3 and 4; wart iv of 

 the abdomen smaller than the others, situated behind the spiracle. 

 Hairs black, some on joints 3 and 4 longer than the others; those on 

 12 and 13 also longer. 



Phaloesia saucia Walker. 



Larva. Head rounded, nearly as large as joint 2, shining blue- 

 black, the bases of antennae and epistoma pale. Body cylindrical, 

 joint 12 scarcely enlarged; warts low-conical rather than high, but 

 proportionately large, approximating each other, the pair i on each 

 side contiguous, appressed, almost consolidated, showing only a cen- 

 tral groove in a single dorsal wart; one wart above the stigmatal 

 wart on joints 3 and 4; wart iv of the abdomen small, contiguous to 

 iii and appressed against it. Body dull ocher, the warts shining blue- 

 black, forming transverse bands; double transverse black streaks in 

 the segmental incisures and small irregular lateral spots; a continuous 

 subventral stripe; feet and leg plates shining blue-black. Hairs thin, 

 black; a single longer white one from the subdorsal wart on joints 3 

 and 4, and from wart iii on joint 12. 



Cocoon. An open network of yellowish silk, somewhat irregular in 

 shape, higher in front, roomy, containing the cast skin. 



Pupa. Light brown, with numerous blue-black spottings and 

 streaks on the wing cases. 



These two larvae are entirely normal for the Pericopidae, as 

 exemplified by the North American species known to us. 



Doa raspa Druce. 



CycniaC!) raspa Druce, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), xm, 354. 1894. 

 Cycnia (?) raspa Druce, Biol. Cent. Am., Lep. Het., n, 393. 1897. 



This species was placed by Druce doubtfully in the Arc- 

 tiidic. It has been till now at the National Museum in the 

 Liparidse, in the genus Trochudu, where I put it according 

 to lists that Mr. Schaus had prepared at the British Museum. 

 I presume, therefore, that it is in the Liparidrc at the British 

 Museum; but this is certainly wrong. The species belongs 

 to the genus Doa Neum. & Dyar in the Hypsidse. 



Larva. Head rather small, rounded, slightly notched at the vertex 

 behind, flat in front, pale reddish brown. Body with the thorax 

 slightly swollen, joint 12 also a little enlarged; yellow, with trans- 

 verse black bands. There are three bands on each segment, the an- 

 terior one rather broad, the others linear; the subventral ends of the 

 bands are bent laterally or joined to short longitudinal lines; feet pale; 

 venter unmarked, except on the legless segments, where the anterior 

 band runs across. Tubercles and setae minute, indistinguishable.
