The above may be nothing more than a variety of C. Sennw, but at present I have not siitticient 

 "vidence to allow me to form a definite opinion as to their identity or non-identity so that I am obliged 

 to kee]) them separate: Dr. Herrich-Schiiflor remarks (Corr. Blatt, d. Zool. min. Ver. Kegensberg, 

 p. 16'J, n. C, 1864), " It will surely be no longer doubted that Marcellina and Drija Boisd., are not 

 specifically distinct," he does not liowever state his reasons for arriving at this conclusion. 



In Madame Merian's Insects of Surinam, a female Cullidnjos is figured (which appears to be 

 C. Drijii) concerning the metamorphoses of which the following remarks are made — " The yellow 

 caterpillai-s ate the leaves (" Zoeteboontjes") they had black feet and black spines on the back ; I have 

 had more than a hundred, which all died, because the leaves of this tree become hard and dry as soon 

 iis they are broken off, and therefore cannot be eaten by the cater])iUars ; however, I had one on the 

 IGlh .June, 1770, which became a pupa similar to the one at the end of the tendril, and at tlie end of 

 . I line came out a beautiful butterfly like the one which is here represented flying and at rest."
