abdominal maculations in either sex. The antenDao are paler brown ; 

 in the female, the pectinations are very minute, so much reduced as to 

 appear to be wanting to the naked eye, and it needs a tolerably strong 

 magnifier to discover the slight processes which emanate from the an- 

 tennal articles. In the male specimen, the antennas are defective; 

 enough remains of them to show that these are more strongly pectinate 

 than in the female. Two ( % and 9 ) specimens. Exp. %, and 9 , 1.20 

 inch. Length of body, 0.40 inch.

This interesting species has been well figured by Prof. Poey, and the 

 characters of the genus explained. The specimens before me are much 

 paler than in the figure, probably for the reason that, with other ma- 

 terial in the present collection, they have become faded through age.

Phryne immaculata, nov. gen. et. sp. 



Under the number 229, Prof. Poey sends specimens of a species dif- 

 fering generically from E. argfntiflua. This small species is entirely 

 milk-white; the corporal parts are finely scaled; head narrower across 

 the vertex than in Euproctis ; antennae simple. The sub-ovoid cocco- 

 net accompanies the specimens. This is flattened beneath, of firm tex- 

 ture, and with a circular lid at the smaller end, through which the 

 imagine makes its escape. The delicate shell of the chrysalis protrudes 

 through the opening. This genus, which is smaller than Euproctis, 

 shows evident affinity with those Limadodes with simple antennae, and 

 resembles casually a glistening white crambid with very long wings
