the base of each. 
The Entomological Society of London have received specimens of 
this species with the larva-case, from Hong Kong, presented by J.C. 
Bowring, Esq. A careful comparison of the Chinese individuals 
with Mr. Templeton’s typical specimen, leaves no doubt as to this 
remarkable geographical range of a species of this group. 
OrkeTicus consortus, Templeton. (Pl. XXXVI. fig. 3,1-4, 
details.) 
This species was also described by Mr. Templeton in the ‘Trans- 
actions of the Entomological Society,’ vol. v. pl. 5. fig. 5-7, with- 
out any details being given. ‘The species is at once distinguished 
from O. Templetonii by its broader and more obtuse wings, its an- 
tennee bipectinated to the tip, thus more nearly resembling O. 
MacLeaii. The antennz are thirty-seven-jointed, the third to the 
thirty-sixth joints bipectinated, the pectinations being longer and 
more slender than usual. The fore-legs are slender, the tibia with 
the long spur (finely setose on the outer edge) arising from its base. 
The hind femur is rather thicker and slightly shorter than the fore 
one; the hind tibia about as thick as, but shorter than, the fore one, 
and the hind tarsus is as long as the three terminal joints of the fore 
tarsus. The veins of the fore-wings are arranged nearly as in O. 
Templetonti, except that the terminal branch of the subcostal vein 
(2 e) arises close beyond the discoidal cell. In the hind wings the 
third branch of the median vein is furcate. 
In the larva-cases figured by Mr. Templeton the outer surface is 
naked, but in another case received from him, a few particles of twigs 
and bits of leaves were fastened on the outside, as represented in 
fig. 3,4. In this case I found the cast skin of the larva, showing the 
head and thoracic segments to have been of a pale yellow colour very 
much dotted with black, there being a transverse row of black spots 
in front of the prothoracie segment. The pupa of the male has the 
second and third segments unfurnished with hooklets, the fourth with 
a row of very fine recurved setz across the posterior margin, and the 
fifth with a row of recurved hooklets. The sixth segment is unarmed, 
and the seventh and eighth have a strong row of spines at the base ; 
the abdominal segments being strongly wrinkled transversely, and the 
anal segment much incurved, with two strong hooks.
