[In my last paper {I. c. No. 7, 529) I suggested that Choregia 

 fulgens, F. & E., was probably a variety. It may therefore be 

 advisable to put on record an account of the life-history of that 

 species. In the Oxford Museum are two specimens oi fulgens with 

 the following label attached : — 



" Arica, Peeu, Kenderdine. Flying in sun about low fig-trees. 

 Larva in the young shoots of the-fig tree, where it changes, 

 spinning a strong white silken cocoon. It is of a dull brownish- 

 red colour with the feet [hlacl- ?] and a row of small black dots on 

 each segment, from each of which issues a fine hair." 



This note ought to enable collectors in the West Indies to 

 breed auriferalis, "Wkr., and to prove whether it is distinct or a 

 variety oi fulgens.
