40 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



2. Celantes, or those in which the larva), prior to 

 changing to pupae, envelope themselves in a silken 

 follicle or cocoon more or less compact : the pupae 

 are generally without angles, like those of the genus 



Chelonia among the Sessiliventres. 



1. 



a. Bombyciformes, in which the head of the larvae is 



smaller than the second segment, and decidedly 

 less in circumference than the following seg- 

 ments (ex. Clariiis, H. S. 628—31, 257, 8 ; Tene- 

 dius, Eversmami, H. S. 632, 3 ; Actins, Evers- 

 manv, H. S. 634, 5 ; Apollonius, Eversmann, 

 H. S. 636, 637 ; Apollinus, Herhst, H. S. 253—6; 

 Nomion, Fischer, H. S. 409,410; Apollo, Lin- 

 ncBus, H. 396, 397; Delius, Esper, H. 567, 568; 

 Delphius, Eversmann, H. S. 638, 639; Mnemo- 

 syne, Einnceus, Hlibner, 398). 



b. Capitati, in which the head of the larva is larger 



than the second segment, and generally larger 

 than any of the succeeding segments ; this is fre- 

 quently so decidedly the case as to give the larva 

 the appearance of being hammer-headed (ex. 

 Hesperidae of Doubleday's List). 



ii. in which those few larvae that are known have a 



number of long feeble hairs scattered over every 

 part of the body, 

 a. Synemonii, in which I must have recourse to a 

 character of the imago : the antennae are abruptly 

 capitate (ex. Hesperia ? Sophia, While, Grey's 

 Exped. Aust. App. 474, fig. 7; Theresa, E. 

 Douhleday, Lort's Disc. App. pi. 3, fig. 6 ; Mopsa, 

 E. Douhleday, Id. pi. 3, f 7 ; Laeta, Walker, Cat. 

 Brit. Mus. Part i. Lep. Hetero. p. 36; Plana, 

 Walker, Id. p. 37). 

 These little butterflies appear to be very generally neg- 

 lected by collectors in Australia, probably on account of 

 their insignificant size and unattractive appearance. 



t b. Cydimonii, in which the antennae are long, slender, 

 and generally slightly ^incrassated before the tip 

 (ex. Papilio Leilus, Cramer, 85; Brasiliensis, 

 Cramer, Gtien^e, pi. 1, fig. 1 ; Cacica, Giien^e,
