 All the preceding details are taken exclusively from Javanese insects, belonging 

 to the series arranged in the Honourable East-India Company's Museum. 



In the diagram on the third plate, the object has been to illustrate the most pro- 

 minent forms of each of the five stirpes, several subjects have, therefore, been selected 

 from the works of Sepp, Abbot, and Stoll's continuation of Cramer,

* In this species the spines are alternately long and short, in other respects it resembles the larvas of the 

 typical group. The genus Biblis is here applied strictly according to the views of Fabricius, who gives 

 Leucothoe as one of the typical species. M. Latreille has placed in the genus Biblis several insects, which 

 agreeably to the metamorphosis belong to different groups. 



I regret that the plan of the diagram has not permitted me to exhibit various highly instructive forms, 

 but the most important will foUow in the course of the work.
