260 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



CHRYSAUGE CATENULATA. 



(Plate CLTL, Fig. I.) 



Chrysauge catenulata. Warren, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) vii. 

 p. 423 (1891). 



This Moth expands upwards of an inch and a half, and has 

 been received from San Paulo, in Brazil, and from British 

 Guiana. It is bright canary-yellow, with two slender black 

 lines on the fore-wings, the inner one oblique, and the outer 

 one waved, converging on the inner margin ; the fore-wings 

 are also bordered by a black line all round, except on the 

 costa, from the base to the second transverse line. Close to 

 the base is another black line. The hind-wings are yellow, 

 with a broad black border, broadest at the tip ; and within the 

 border is a black line, more or less detached from it. The 

 body is yellow, but the antennae and legs are black, and the 

 abdomen is clothed with long grey hair above. In the male, 

 the outer transverse line of the fore-wings rises from a black 

 glandular patch on the costa.

This is another South American genus, with longer and 

 narrower wings than the last, and remarkable for its very long 

 and slender palpi.
