Mr. E. Doubleday informed the meeting, that the Saturnia, 

 from South Africa, which he had exhibited at a previous meeting 

 believing it to be new, was described about a year since by Dr. 

 Boisduval, under the name of Saturnia Acacice, in the " Voyage 

 de Delegorgue." 



He also stated tliat the Saturnia, which he then considered to 

 be the male of Saturnia {Actias) Mcenas, was, he believed, a dis- 

 tinct species. The specimen in the British Museum is much 

 faded, and consequently it is difficult to say what might have been 

 its colour ; but he had lately seen two perfect specimens in a col- 

 lection of insects from Silhet, now unfortunately on the road to 

 Brody, in Galicia, the collection having been purchased by Count 

 Mnizesch. He would propose to call it 



Saturnia Leto.
