the upper wing are formed each of two spots, and near the apex 

 there is an ill-defined bluish one. The fascia on the lower wings 

 is composed of a series of about six spots. The under surface 

 is the same as the upper. The under side of the fore thighs is 

 covered with luteous hair. I have named the species after Mr. 

 Koch, of Frankfort, a well-known Lepidopterist.

 Mr. MacLeay also exhibited a Carenum and a Scaraphites, 

 which he had received from Mr. Waterhouse of Soath Australia, 

 and read the following descriptions of the same.

 This is a very remarkable species. The labial palpi are 

 largely secm^iform. The antennas are rather slight. In 

 general appearance the insect is flatter, more elongate, 

 and altogether of a less heavy make than is usual in the 

 genus, though the head and legs are strong and large. But the 

 elytra present the most remarkable peculiarities. They are per- 

 fectly flat from the base to near the apes for a considerable 

 distance on each side of the suture, while the rest or lateral

 strongly and acutely mucronate, There are a few small
