of its existence. This individual is in the British Museum 

 Collection, from Cerani, and appears to be a larva of Ph. 

 skcifoUum, having simple posterior tibiae. Fig. 1 b. re- 

 presents a male larva of Ph. Scythe, having small rudi- 

 ments both of wings and wing-covers ; and 1 c, a male ])upa 

 of the same species, having the alary rudiments still more 

 developed, and the antennse consisting of about twenty 

 joints, the outer half having been developed at the extre- 

 mity of the short thickened antennae of the lar\a, as may 

 be clearly perceived by the more slender form of the sup- 

 plemental joints.

As some confusion has arisen as to the real species de- 

 scribed by Linnaeus, I have thought it useful to copy his 

 original description from the ' Museum Ulricse Reginse' : — 



" Caput ovatum, Iseve ; antennfe brevissimce, obtusse, ar- 

 ticulis 9, quorum 1 baseos latior, 2 brevissimus, 3 major re- 

 liquis, 4, 5, 6, 7 brevissimi lenticulares, 8, 9 ovati. 



" CoUum cordatum. Thorax subtrigonus, lateribus den- 

 ticulatis, longitudine capitis. 



" Elytra incumbentia, parallela, simul ovata, virescentia, 

 singula folium Lauri referentia, obtusa, venosa, margine in- 

 teriore approximata. Aloe brevissimse, emarcidse aut vix 

 uUa;. 



" Abdomen ovatum, membranaceo-planum, segmentis 8. 



" Pedes corpore breviores. 



1 femora plana, obovata, autice dentata, juxta caput 

 excisa ; tibise lanceolatse, membranacea;. 



2 femora obovata, oblongiuscula, membranacea, antice 

 et carina denticulata ; tibise triquetrae, Iseves. 



3 femora lanceolata, membranacea, antice et carina sub- 



serrata ; tibise triquetrae, Iteves, squama obtusa inter 

 ungues." 



De Haan gives the following measurements of various 

 individuals, all of which are females. From the relative 

 length and width of some of the specimens, I should appre- 

 hend that the whole of them could scarcely be referable to 

 one species.

De Haan has added the following description of a pupa, 

 of which he has also given a figure (pi. 15. f. 7), which
