Mr. Stevens exhibited a box of Lepidoptera, chiefly Pyralidae, taken at Sarawak by Mr. Wallace, amongst which was a beautiful species of Cerura, allied to C.liturata of India; a singular Bombyx, allied to the Megasoma pardale of Java; and several Pyralidae, remarkable for the extraordinary development of the palpi, in one species the terminal joint of the palpi being turned back over the head of the insect, and equal in length to the abdomen.
