• SC0L10NEURA. 181 



beautiful greeu colour ; the head shortly pilose, shin- 

 ing, often with a brown stripe from the vertex to the 

 mouth. Claws brown ; eyes black ; antennse conical, 

 brown ; mandibles brownish-red. Bach segment has 

 fine white transverse folds and two transverse rows of 

 raised warts bearing reddish-brown spines. On the 

 first and last segments stand somewhat brighter warts 

 with two points, while the warts on the other seg- 

 ments have three. In every transverse row are six 

 warts ; then follow still smaller spined warts, and the 

 oblique skin folds over the legs have also spines. 

 Usually the lateral folds bear 3 — 4 spines. The last 

 segment bears two transverse rows of single thorns, 

 and the border of the anal fold is likewise thorned. 

 When young the larvae are pale yellow, with white 

 spines and bright brown head. Before the last moult 

 the spines, &c, are cast off. 



It feeds on the young branches and young buds of 

 the rose. 



The description of the larva given on p. 240, Vol. I, 

 refers of course to B. albijpes, GmL, sec. Knw., of which 

 I have not seen a British specimen.

In his revision (D. E. Z., 1886, p. 215) Konow

 Z., 1890, p. 239, he creates a new genus — 



SOOLIONEURA. 



Head small, ovate, eyes reaching to the base of the 

 mandibles ; antennas slender, filiform ; metasternal 

 pro sterna not often semi-distinct ; the transverse basal 

 nervure in front wings curved ; the first recurrent not 

 parallel ; the transverse radial interstitial or not ; the
