Description of a new species of Bomhyx from Nepaul, discovered by 
Dr. Wallich. In the collection of Major 6'ewera/ H ardwicke. 
Wallich's Bomhyx. Bomhyx Vfallichii. Wings rounded, upper 
wings above bay ; black spotted ; black cross banded at the base ; the 
hinder half of the outer end with numerous parrellel slightly waved, nar- 
row lines ; hinder wing above black, with a broad yellowish margin ; 
varied with numerous parallel wavy blackish lines ; wings beneath black, 
with a broad yellow margin, varied with very narrow obscure wavy lines ; 
antennae pale brown, strongly bipectinated ; body black; abdominal 
rings brown-edged. Length 2 ; expanse of wings 6 inches. Very like 
PhalcBna maxima Chusan, Petiver Gaz. t. 18, f. 3. but in that figure the 
wavy marginal lines extend to the front edge of the wing, and the band 
of the base of the wing does not extend to the whole breadth. 
Description of a new genus, and some undescribed species of Crustacea. 
Gomeza. 
Thorax ovate, convex, gradually converging behind ; with long spines 
over the eyes, and the margins denticulated. The outer antennce longer 
than the body, ciliated above and below; eyes enclosed in a pit, longer 
than the stems ; outer double feet palpi, with the second joint of the 
inner foot stalk shorter than than the first, rounded, triangular, produced 
on its outer angle; the first joint subcylindrical ; the outer foot stalk, with 
the first joint broad, compressed ; legs 10, the first pair longest, didactyle, 
shorter than than the body ; other legs conjpressed, the claws slender, 
elongate, ciliated; abdomen of the male very slender, 5-jointed ; joints 
short, narrow ; of the female } 
This genus is apparently intermediate between Corystesdrod Atelecydus 
of Leach, having the long antenna of the first, and the short claws, the 
pedipalpi, and somewhat the shape of the latter. 
Two-Horned Gomeza. Gomeza hicornis. Pale yellow; (dry), thorax 
ovate convex, polished, with thick-set white granules, the front rather 
produced, bifid, with a long conical subulate horn over each eye ; the 
side margin with nine or ten tubercles on each side ; the front one acute 
and distant ; the hinder ones short, blunt and aproxi mated; the fore claws 
convex, external, granular. Length 11 ; diam. 7 lines. Inhab. Indian 
Ocean. Gen. Ilardwicke. 
Eyed Corystes. Corystes ocellata. Pale brown, with two red rings 
in the middle and two smaller in the hinder part of the sides of the thorax ; 
thorax convex, punctate, front rather produced, slightly nicked ; front 
of margin with four distant acute teeth; carpus of fore legs convex, with 
a single strong spine on its front upper edge and thumb of claw spineless 
grooved. British Museum. It differs from Corystes Cassivelanus which 
has the side of the thorax three-toothed, two in front and one behind. 
Spinous-footed Xantho. Xantho spinosa. Thorax dark red, covered 
with close set short hairs ; rather convex, covered with small roundish
