with the short diagnose: ,,affinis Artanae Moore“, which must besides be a misprint, as there does not exist 
any genus Artana Moore ; he probably meant to say Artaxa (= Euproctis). The figure itself does not exhibit 
any marks by which the species might be distinguished from the genus Euproctis, and 1 therefore add it hereto, 
though with an interrogation mark. Still there is a remarkable fact exhibited by the abdomen hardly reaching 
to the centre of the hindmargin of the hindwing.
