curved obtuse horn in the middle of the back of the thorax. It is contrary to all analogy, to believe that a chrysalis like this could have 

 been enclosed in a cocoon : whilst there is equal reason for believino; that neither it nor the caterpillar is that of any species of Caligo. 



The splendid new species of Caligo represented in our Plate LVI. fig. 2., C. Ajax, has the under side of the wings of fulvous buft' 

 and whitish colours, the base of the fore wings, varied witli a great number of large black ol)lif[ue markings, and the hind wings with an 

 immense number of small black transverse strigai and two large eyes ; a pale bufl-white bar replaces the pale bar of the upper surface, 

 bevond which, in the fore wings, is a dai'ker subdentate fascia with a suhapical ocellus, three white crescents, and a submargiual 

 black stria; the hind wings, also, have an indistinct dark submarginal stria and outer margin. The female has the fascia of the fore 

 wings of a rich blue colour, and tliat of the hind wings of a dull yellowisli white. 



Another splendid new species has recently been received from jNlexico, allied to C Ajax, having the hind wings ornamented with a 

 very broad margin of orange ( C. Uranus Dcihne). 



I have added, at the end of tiie genus, P. Automedon and several other insects agreeing with the true species of Caligo in the large 

 size and even still more elongated form of the hind wings, and the small size of the prediscoidal cell of the same wings ; but which differ 

 from them in their more brilliant colours, and in the very peculiar large elongate-oval patch of velvet-like plush near the extremity of 

 the anal marain of the hind wings in the males. jNIr. E. Doubleday has united them with Opsiphanes, fi'om which they are distinguished 

 by the small size of the prediscoidal cell, and the vehety patch above mentioned.
