520 PROF. J. 0. WESTWOOD ON THE URANIID#. 
mentioned by Mr. MacLeay :—1st, the retractile rosy-coloured tentacles of the larve ; 
2ndly, its somewhat Geometriform movement; and, 3rdly, the want of a cocoon (at 
least no mention is made thereof by M. Sganzin), and the girt condition of the chry- 
salis, 
I am able to add descriptions and figures of the larva and pupa of a species of the 
genus Coronidia, allied to C. orithea, which had been observed by Herr Moritz at 
Bogota, and to which he had applied the name of C. regina. The specimens of the 
Jarva and pupa were carefully prepared, and were in the collection of Dr. Kaden, of 
Dresden, where I examined and made the drawings of them here published (Pl. LXXXYV. 
figs. 1, 2). The caterpillar has a small head, and the prothorax is smaller and thinner 
than the following segment. The general colour is luteous, with black spots and a black 
head; on the prothorax are ten small shining points, forming an oval patch placed 
transversely ; the segments of the body are furnished with two small conical luteous 
tubercles, and on the second, sixth, and seventh segments are two erect black, slightly 
curved spines. The chrysalis is oval, entire, without conical protuberances; the tongue- 
case is considerably elongated beyond the wing-cases; and the extremity of the body 
forms an acute deflexed spine. It is enclosed in a loose open-work cocoon spun at the 
base of a folded leaf. 
The following Table combines the principal characters of the sections and genera 
comprising the family Uraniide, details of which are illustrated in Plate LXXXYV.

(65 *) at a considerable distance beyond the discoidal cell. 
a. (Cydimon Dalm.) Palpi with the terminal joit very short.

second branch of the subcostal vein of the fore wing coalescing with the third branch 
halfway between the cell and the tip of the wing.—Gen. Curysiripia, Hb.; type U. 
rhipheus (figs. 15, 16). 
b. (Nyctalemon Dalm., Nyctalemonide Guenée.) Palpi with the terminal joint long, slender, and 
pointed. 
* Each of the veins of the hind wings produced into a short scallop, postcostal vein of fore wings 
wanting the 2nd branch (4 2).—Gen. Aucrp1a, Westw.; type U. orontes (figs. 17, 18). 
** Hind wings with the second and third branches of the median vein produced into a long 
tail—Gen. Lyssip1a, Westw.; type U. patroclus (figs. 19, 20),
