The larva is dark slaty-brown, with continuous lateral series of varied but chiefly red- 
brown ocellated spots; the anterior segments sometimes black laterally and dorsally ; 
the remaining segments sometimes laterally speckled with whitish ; the falces, legs, and 
anal clasps black; a black style-shaped anal horn, much like a needle sticking out of 
the body; it feeds on Cissus, Colocasia, and Balsaminea. 
30. CH#ROCAMPA ARGENTATA.

The only example which could be Walker’s type was placed in the collection amongst 
our examples of C. o/denlandie without any distinguishing label ; it is evident, therefore, 
that (if it be the type) Mr. Walker must subsequent to his description of the species 
have considered it identical with C. oldenlandie and abandoned it, throwing away the 
ticket ; and as none of his types were labelled by him, this act would at once destroy 
the best means of identifying his species. As it is, the example obtained from Mr. 
Stevens of C. argentata differs in several important points from the description of C. 
jirmata.
