recall the common European E. chrysomelma rather than any of 

 the Oriental species. Tlie four basal spots are arranged in 

 a straight line, and the inner spots of the middle row are scarcely 

 fartlier removed from the suture than those above and below them. 

 Three specimens were brought by Mr. Andrews from the north 

 coast of the island. This species was also found both by Mr. Lister 

 and the officers of the " Flying Fish."

 though I was able to describe the female from a single specimen of 

 this sex previously obtained by the officers of H.M.S. "Flying 

 Fish."
