* In Horsfield's figure of the larva of the Javanese E. Aconthea (I.e. pi. 8, fig. 6), eleven segments 

 only are apparent, including the head, which latter is represented as of an elongated oval shape, and the 

 front pair of long spines are represented as if projecting from the second segment. These errors are 

 repeated in the subsequent reproductions of this figure,
