The specimen fijrured by Westwooil is nndonbtedly the insect bred by Monsieur 

 Andre. The individual described us the female, however, is a male of Cricula 

 trifevesirata ; it is preserved in the collection of the Hope Department at Oxford, 

 and has been examined by me. West wood's " species " therefore was a mixture 

 of two species, one of which had already a name. In such cases I treat the new 

 name given to the mixture as a synonym of the older name. Moreover, the name 

 S. zuleiha was a very unfortunate choice, as Hope had already described ami 

 figured another silk-moth as Saturnia zuleika.
