base of the elytra have a continuous, broad, pale vitta, the median line 

 of which is rather darker ; this vitta unites with a broad, concolorous, 

 transverse fascia on the elytra, in which are several little dark brown 

 spots ; on each elytron, near its apex, is an irregular somewhat oblong 

 spot of the same colour ; in a line continuous with the dorsal crest on 

 each elytron is a slight carina below the middle.

Extremely like the last in size and the disposition of colour : the 



antennae are totally different, being hairy beneath, and having the base 



of each joint cinereous : the prothorax is bright umber brown, with a 



pale dorsal vitta : the elytra are bright umber brown, rather before 



their middle is a paler fascia, which bends obliquely forwards to the 



lateral margin ; near the apex is another very irregular fascia of the 



same colour ; the base of the elytra have numerous small glabrous 



pustules : the crest on each elytron is very distinct : the legs are pale, 



the apical portion of the tibia? being darker.

 Concolorous, nearly black, lanuginous, the down somewhat hoary ; 

 at the base- of the prothorax are three pale spots ; they are close toge- 

 ther, the middle one being the smallest : the scutellum is nearly black, 

 its anterior and lateral margins being paler, and immediately adjoin- 

 ing it on each side is a pale spot at the base of each elytron : the ely- 

 tra are obviously but not deeply striated ; towards the base they are 

 deeply punctured.

207. Note of Captures in Lepidoptera. On the 29th of May I bred 

 a female of Diphthera Orion from the larva which I took in August, 

 1841, (Entomol. 208) : I also bred, during the same month, the Ceru- 

 raj before mentioned (Entom. 359), together with Notodouta Ziczac, 

 N. dromedarius, Peridea seiTata, Ptilodontis palpina, Leiocampa Dic- 

 taja, L. Dictaeoides and Ceropacha Or. — Alfred Lambert; 6, Trinity
