 By William Beutenmuller. 



Several examples of E. brachyiira and E. argiphontes and their 

 larvae, from Sierra Leone, Africa, are in the collection of Old World He- 

 terocera of William Schaus, Esq., which was recently donated by him 

 to the American Museum of Natural History. 



Eudcemonia brachyiira (Plate XI) is pink, with the spots yel- 

 lowish. The larva is deep black on the upper side with the 

 extreme sides broken with yellowish, and the under side wholly yel- 

 lowish (possibly green in life). Anal plate with the two thorny spines, 

 cervical shield and head testaceous. Along each side of the body are 

 three rows of spines with branches of shorter spinules, on the anterior 

 edge of the cervical shield are four short spines. Length ■^2> "^'^- Aug- 

 gust 21, 1895. ^- argiphontes (Plate XII) is brown with pinkish shades 

 and a dark transverse band across each wing. The larva is yellowish 

 (probably green in life), mottled with black along the sides, cervical 

 shield, lateral row of spines and those on i, 2, 3, 11 and 12 segments 

 black. Remaining rows of spines yellow (green) tipped with black, 

 with the spinules also tipped with black. On each side of the segments 

 3 and 4 is a black band broken on the dorsum by the ground color.
