(J ? . Close to Deilephila, but end-segment of antenna with very long l)ristles 

 and witbont scales, tbe bristles several times as long as the segment, which 

 resembles the r/zc/v^/Yi-segment, but is longer. (ienal process more sharply 

 triangnlar than in Deilephila. Hindtarsus very long, reaching beyond tip of 

 abdomen wben the leg is straightened out. 

 Larva with a series of eight ocelli. 



Pupa similar to that of DeiU'phila ; cremaster bifid, each process again divided 

 into two horizontal, conical, and jiointed processes, the e.xternal ones ending again 

 in two hooks, of which one curves ventrad, the other dorsad (PI. LXIV. f. 18) ; 

 tongue-case carir.ate.

Two species, which are structurally so dissimilar in several res])ects that they 

 might be treated as representing two genera. 

 Key to the species : 



Forewing crossed by straight lines ; mesonotum 



with two yellow spots in front .... 4'-!5. (^'h. hdioilea. 

 Lines of forewing curved, indistinct ; mesonotum 



without yellow spots ..... 424. L'h. crotiis.
