Arctiidas. 
Chelonia latreillei (God.). The transformations, imago, and varieties of this 
species are described and figured by Milliere, Ann. Soc. Linn. Lyon, tome x. 
pp. 217-222, pi. 41. 
Chelonia Jiavida (Brem.) is figured and described by Bremer, M(5m. Acad. 
St. Pj^tersb. viii. p. 39, pi. 4. fig. 4. 
The following known species and varieties of known species are described 
and figured by Milliere, Iconogr. et Descr. de Chen, et L^pid. : — Nemeophila ? 
metelkana (Led.), with 2 vars., 1. c. i. pp. 395-398, pi. 49. figs. 1-4 ; Spilosoma 
zatima (Cram.) and var., 1. c. pp. 398-401, pi. 49. figs. 6-7, taken in Heligo- 
land ; Chelonia hehe (Linn.), 8 singular varieties, 1. c. ii. pp. 17-20, pi. 63. 
figs. 1-3 ; C. caja, 2 varieties, /. c. pp. 23-25, pi. 53. figs. 6 & 7 ; and Arctia 
qtienselii (Payk.), 4 varieties, 2 figured, 1. c. pp. 20-23, pi. 63. figs. 4 & 5. 
The metamorphoses of Chelonia cervini are described and figured by Fallou, 
Ann. Soc. Ent. Er. 4® s«5r. tome iv. pp. 679-681, pi. 10. figs. 1-3 ; fig. 3 repre- 
sents the cf . Guen^e also describes this species in all its states (/. c. pp. 681- 
683), and likewise Chelonia quenselii (1. c. pp. 683-685), and discusses the na- 
ture and position of the genus Nemeophila^ to which, if it be sustained, they 
must be referred. If the so-called Nemeophilce be separated from Chelonia, 
they must further be divided into two genera; namely, Nemeo 2 )hila,yii\\i the 
palpi isolated and very distinct, the trunk and antennae long, the two sexes 
very different, &c., including N. russida ; and Chimiophila, with the palpi in- 
cumbent, the trunk rudimentary, the antennae short and scarcely pectinated, 
the two sexes similar, &c., including N. plantayinis, quenselii, glaphyra, vir- 
guncula, and cervini. 
Newman describes the larva of Chelonia villica, Entomol. ii. p. 221.
