18 Mr. W. F. Kirby's Notes on the African Saturniida 



2. G. Maia, King. Natal. 



This species commonly stands in collections as Isis, 

 Westw. Mr. Harford, who has bred them by hundreds, 

 informs me that the larva feeds on the Mimosa, and that 

 the perfect insect scarcely varies at all.

 fore wings, which have also a very large vitreous spot on 

 the disk, with a triangular notch on the outside. Costa
