ending in a linear row of irregular decreasing spots about the upper median nervule. 

 Hind-wing with the white anal area rather less extensive than on the upper-surface, 

 and with a submarginal row of green crescent-shaped lunulas from the apes to the 

 lobe, where the lunule becomes confluent with a quadrate green spot. A large deep 

 black spot occupies the whole of the lobe, and at its outer extremity is dusted with 

 white scales. About the middle of the wing is a white, much broken, line, much as 

 in L. Eryx, L., but more linear. 



The cilia on both surfaces is of the same colour as the adjacent poi'tion of the 

 wings. 



Head and frons bright green ; thorax and abdomen brownish above, reddish- 

 buff colour below ; palpi bright green with black tips ; legs blackish. Antennae 

 black, white ringed, with reddish tips. Expanse, 2| inch. 



Hal). : Kina Balu, IN". Borneo (type, Mus. Staud.). 



This fine species is allied to L. Eryx, Linn., but has many dif- 

 ferences. It is remarkable for its enormous size. I am indebted to 

 Dr. Staudinger for the pleasure of describing this insect, which was 

 sent to him by his collector, Watersbradt. He writes me that it is 

 unique. 



This genus is, I believe, recorded here for the first time from 



Borneo, and I hope before long to be able to publish a figure of the 



type.

CONCERNINa SOLENOBIA TRIQUETRELLA, &c. 

 BT T. A. CHAPMAN, M.D., F.E.S. 



Mr. Barrett has kindly allowed me to examine the pupa-cases and 

 moths (three females dried on card) from the collection of Mr. Side- 

 botham, that he considers to be the true 8. triquetreUa. The moths 

 are not in condition to be easily examined, but, luckily, an antenna 

 and a leg or two are well displayed. They agree with Solenohia in the 

 form of the case, and in the extrusion of the female pupa-case for 

 emergence. 



The pupa-cases are not distinguishable from those of incotispicu- 

 ella, at least not on such examination as is permissible with reference 

 to retaining the present aspect of the specimens. 



The moths also aeree absolutely with incooispicuella in two 

 characters, which are the most definite to observe in these apterous 

 species — the number of joints of the antennae and tarsi. How far 

 these characters are specific or generic I must have much wider 

 experience to determine ; it may, therefore, very well be that Solenohia 

 inconspicuella, S. triquetreUa given me by Dr. Wood, and Mr. Side- 

 botham's triquetreUa are three distinct species, and the identity I
