the position of the (Enochroniides , which he regards as true 
PhaleniteSj distinguished by having the antennae pectinated only 
on one side^ and as uniting the Phalenites with the Bombycind 
in respect of their general appearance. The relationship of these 
insects to the GeometridcB is proved by the structure of the larva 
of (Enochroma vinaria (Guen.), here described and figured (/. c.' 
p. 14, pi. 1. fig. 1) from a drawing sent to H. Doubleday from 
Australia by Diggles. This larva is of an elongated form, and 
has three pairs of membranous feet ; upon the back of the 
third segment it has a black, conical, erect spine, and at the 
apex of the eleventh two small conical processes. Its colour 
above is brown, beneath white, with some black spots. It is 
found in Maj?^ upon the Wattle tree {Mimosa^ sp.), and the moth 
appears in October. Tlie caterpillar differs from those of most 
Geometridse in the presence of a.third pair of membranous feet; 
but this occurs, although in a rudimentary state, in the genus 
Bumia, and in a more perfect condition in Metrocampa, both 
belonging to the Eunomides, near which Guenee has ah’eady 
placed the group of Enochromides. 
Broyer (Ann. Soc. Ent. Beige, 1863) describes and figures the larvre of the 
following species of this family : Eupitheeia tcnuiata (Ilubn.), 1. c. p. 26, pi. 
I. fig. 2 ; E. dvhiliata (HUbn.), 1. c. p. 27, pi. 1. fig. 3 ; E. valerianata (Hiibn.) 
=vwnnata (Dbl.), /. c. p. 31, pi. 1. fig. 4 ; Scodonia hclgaria (lliibn.), 1. c. p. 33, 
pi. 1. fig. 5; and Phasiano. (Esp.), 1. c. p. 37, pi. 1. fig. 0. The same 
author also states that the larva of .Zs,’. denotata (lliibn.) lives in the capsules 
of Campanula trachclium, and mentions his having bred E. dodoneata (Guen.) 
from larvo3 feeding on oak (/. c. p. 41). 
Breyer also describes (/. c. pp. 45, 46) a peculiar structure in the caterpillars 
of Anisoptcryx aceraria and cescAdaria (S. v. Voll.). In these larv'se the last 
pair of abdominal prolegs is represented by a pair of pediform organs, which 
are protruded from two apertures on the tenth segment ; they are not pre- 
hensile, but seem to form organs of touch. 
Masters (Proc. Ent. Soc. N. S. W. p. xxiv) describes the male of Gastro- 
phora lienricaria (Guenee). 
Guenee states that (Enochroma quaternaria (II. Sch.) is a variety of the 
male of Phallaria ophiusaria (Guen.). Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. tome iv. p. 16. 
The preparatory states of the following species of this family are referred 
to in notes published in the ^ Zoologist ’ for 1864 : Opiorahia filigrammaria 
(larva) by J. Ilellins, 1. c. p. 8913 ; Cidaria sagittata (larva) by J. Hellins, 
I c. p. 8913, and by AV. Barren, 7. e. p. 8970; Nmneria pulveraria (larva) by 
F. Beauchamp, 1. c. p. 8970 ; Eupitheeia fraxinnta (vaiieties of larva) by 
H. IT. Crewe, 1. c. p. 9252 ; E. pidchellata (transform, and vars. of larva) by
