Mendoza (W. M. Bayne), three in coll. L. B. Prout; La 
Rioja (E. Giacomelli). 
Described from Chili, whence the British Museum has 
a fair series, from dift'erent sources. Also occurs at Callao, 
Peru (coll. Br. Mus.). I know of no other localities. 
The larva has been described and figured by Izquierdo, 
An. Univ. Chile, liii, 829, tab. iv, 3. It feeds on Boer- 
haavia discolor, and reaches a length, when fully grown, of 
27 mm. It has two varieties, one green, the other grey, 
the latter being the less frequent. The green variety is 
of a • pale, uniform citron-colour, the venter somewhat 
paler ; head and legs whitish. The tubercles are small, 
provided witli fine setae. Stigmata yellow, surrounded 
by dark line. The grey variety is of an earthen colour, 
or of that of the bark of a tree. It greatly resembles 
the old sticks of the plant. The tubercles are more con¬ 
spicuous, usually margined with black. Ventrally there 
is a pattern formed by some waved lines. The egg is 
spherical, whitish, its surface smooth and shining. The 
pupa is of a chestnut colour, the body darker than the 
wings ; it is not enclosed in a cocoon, but the larva merely 
joins the leaves together by a very few threads in order 
to pupate. The pupal stage lasts 14 days. 
Except in the pectinated ^ antenna, slightly broader 
wings and lighter colour, this species reminds somewhat 
of Cani'ptogramma (?) stellata (Guen.).

collectetl on the voyage of the “ Eugenie.” 
I have been unable to make out this species from 
Wallengren’s brief diagnosis, or even to guess at its 
correct generic location. Its author says that its palpus 
and wing-form remind of Euholia clicnopodiata (Linn.) = 
mensuraria (Schiff.). Staudinger (Hamb. Magalh. Sum- 
melr., ii, Lep. 84) surmises it is not from the Magellan 
region.
