rior margin are two irregular white
spots, the upper sub-triangular, the under squareish; on the apical
margin are seven whiteish spots, the first very minute, the second
largest, the others gradually diminishing towards the long white line
where they terminate. The fringe is black, slightly greyish on the edge;
the underside of the wing is greyish at the base, and on the inner edge,
then violet, the apical portion being of a silky yellowish brown; the
lower wings are purplish violet, the outer margin at the base is whitish,
the fringe is black at the base, at the end white--the white forming a
broader line than the black; beneath it is violet black, and black with a
greenish tinge. The thorax and body in the specimen described is rubbed;
the latter seems to be blackish green, banded with white. I have seen a
species closely resembling the above in Dr. Boisduval's immense
collection.

(*Footnote. The Saturnia laplacei, described and figured by the Baron
Feisthamel in his description of the Lepidoptera collected on the voyage
of the Favorite is synonymous with the Chelepteryx collesi, described by
Mr. G.R. Gray in the First Volume of the Transactions of the
Entomological Society of London page 122.)

Odonestis elizabetha, new species.

Antennae, with the pectinations rusty brown, lighter at the tips, the
stem densely covered with white scales, palpi and head in front deep
ferruginous. Thorax thickly clothed with fawn-coloured hairs; body above,
shining ochrey inclined to orange; short tuft at the end of the body;
underside lateritious; upper surface of first pair of wings fawn, with a
reddish hue, densely covered with hair-like scales, with shorter and
somewhat square scales beneath, the scales over the nervures, being
reddish; an indistinct line of seven obscure spots still more
indistinctly connected by a zigzag reddish line, runs across the wing
nearly parallel to its apical margin, and nearer the tip of the wing than
the middle. (In one of the two specimens this band of spots is obsolete,
or nearly so, as are the reddish coloured nervures.) Second pair of wings
of a blush red, the fringe fawn coloured; underside of both wings, more
of a brick colour than the upper surface of second pair; the fringes fawn
coloured; the second pair with a very indistinct band, nearly parallel to
the posterior margin; the nerves on the first pair of wings are lighter
than the gener
