specimen , the others (four) to the female insect. The 

 caterpillar being not yet described, I have taken the fol- 

 lowing description of it : 



Length about 5 centim. — Head broad , rounded , yellow , 

 sparingly beset with long hairs; the labrum and mandibles 

 are black , the former slightly notched in the middle ; 

 the antennae jointed, yellowish white. A double f urea, 

 formed by black lines , running down to the labrum , sur- 

 rounds the clypeus and the face. Laterally three longitu- 

 dinal , short , black streaks (above) and three little black 

 patches (beneath), as well as the brown ocelli , are to be 

 found. 



The three thoracic segments are covered with horny , 

 polished shields of an amber yellow color. The first is 

 provided with six longitudinal black lines , three on each 

 side of the broad lighter coloured middle space, which 

 shows two divergent groups of black points. The pattern 

 of the two following shields is uniform : four longitudinal 

 black lines, the inner ones curved, not reaching the up- 

 perside of the shield, the outer ones straight. 



The following (eight) segments are of a dirty yellowish 

 color, somewhat greyish , the terminal one covered with a 

 yellowish brown, black-bordered scale, and, as well as the 

 thoracic ones , sparingly beset with hairs. — The under- 

 side is lighter, of a more or less greyish yellow color. 

 The stigmata and the broken stigmatic line are brownish. 

 The forelegs are horny, brown and yellow-ringed, the 

 first joint is brownish striked on the exterior side.
