18 Mr. Butlei''s Descrijitions of 



I have given a l3rief description of this species at page 11 

 of my forthcojning Catalogue of Fabrician lihojxilocera ; it 

 has hitherto stood in collections under the name of 2\ Chelys 

 of Fahricius ; P. Cliclys, however, proves to be a species of 

 Gnoplwdes.

 meria, but the costa has a more sudden upward curve at 

 the apex than in that specico.
