Selandria aperta (Vol. I, p. 199). 



The Selandria aperta, Htg., is identical with Selan- 

 dria cinereipes, Kl., non Blennocampa cinereipes, Htg. 

 (cf. Konow, D. E. Z., 1886, p. 81). 



Selandria serva (Yol. I, p. 194). 



The larva is described by Brischke (1. c, 90, pi. vi, 

 fig. 5), and by von Stein (Ent. Nacht., 1880, p. 251), 

 but their descriptions do not quite agree. Brischke 

 describes it as 18 mm. in length, cylindrical, the 

 thoracic segments somewhat thickened, transversely 

 wrinkled, and bearing short conical white warts and 

 short hairs. The ground colour is greenish-yellow, 

 darker or lighter if the larvse eat the leaves or the 

 flowers. Head shiny, bright yellowish-brown. On 

 the body are five longitudinal rows of black points, 

 each segment, except the first and last two having 

 five of these points. The points on the middle row 

 are small, the two lateral rows have them larger, while 

 the two rows over the legs have them still larger. 

 Over the thoracic legs is a black spot. Between and 

 behind the black eye-spots is a small black point ; the 

 antennae and mouth are dark. At the last moult they 

 become stouter, bright grass-green, paler at the sides, 

 without the black points and warts, the skin regularly 

 transversely wrinkled, the dorsal vessel appears as a 

 fine yellow stripe; the head brownish-yellow, with
