other. These habitations resemble those of the larve of certain 
Phryganee. Very remarkable ones are found in the East Indies and 
Senegal. 
These Lepidoptera, united by Hiibner with the Tine, compose 
the subgenus 
Psycnue, Schr. * 
The last Pseudo-Bombyces, which, by the disposition of their co- 
lours seem to represent the Diurna called damiers, are furnished 
with a very distinct proboscis which, when unrolled, extends far 
beyond the head, as in 
Cuetonia, Godart.—Arcrtia, Schr.—Eyprepia, Ochs., 
Where the wings are tectiform, the antennze of the males pectinated, 
the inferior palpi densely pilose, and the proboscis is short. 
C. chrysorrhea; Bombyx chrysorrhea, Fab.; Rees., Insect. I, 
Class I], Pap. Noct., xxii. Wings white and immaculate ; pos- 
terior extremity of the abdomen fulvous-brown. 
In certain years the caterpillar of this species strips whole 
woods of their leaves. 
E. caja; Bombysx caja, Fab.; Rees., Ibid., i. Head and tates 
brown ; superior wings of the same colour, with irregular white 
streaks « inferior wings and back of the abdomen red, with 
bluish-black spots. 
The caterpillar which lives on the Nettle, Lettuce, Elm, &c., 
has received the name of Aedge-hog, or bear, on account of its 
long and numerous hairs. It is blackish-brown with rings of 
blue tubercles f.

Where the wings are also tectiform, but the antennz, at most, cili- 
ated in the males; the inferior palpi are merely covered with small 
scales, and the proboscis is long. 
C. Jacobee: Bombyx Jacobee, Fab., Rees., Insect., Class I, 
Noct. Pap., xlix. A very common species in France. Black; 
superior wings with a line and two points of carmine; the infe- 
rior ones, carmine margined with black. 
The caterpillar is yellow, with black antenne; it lives on the 
Groundsel f.

The fourth section of the Nocturna, that of the Aposura |], is re- 
moved, as we have observed in the general divisions of this family, 
by a unique character, viz. the absence of the anal feet of the animal
