S ?. This species does not dillVr in stnictnre irom P.Jioir.itan. Tlie forewin,? 

 is more variegated than in Jiorestan, the transverse lines, as a rale, lieing imieli 

 more prominent, and hence appearing to be more numerous ; the black discal 

 streaks R' — M" are short, often absent. The species varies individually to a 

 considerable extent. TJ7M pulvillus. The differences between the two insects — 

 if a series is compared — do not seem to us to be reliable. We should not be 

 surprised [ijlorestan and lichenea were proved to be one variable species. End of 

 tarsus see PI. LXIV. f. 11. 12. 



Larva green, not yellowish, with small yellowish granules, which are sparse on 

 tlie first three segments ; side-bands narrow, pink, united above by a tliiu mesial 

 line, each band rather deeper red behind (ace. to Burmeister, correct?).
