320 HAUSTELI.ATA. LEPIDOPTEBA. 



golden one adjoining the cUia, which are whitish, with fuscous tops : 

 posterior wings whitish ; as are also the palpi, head, thorax, and cilia. 



I have seen one specimen only of this remarkable insect, which was 

 taken upwards of twenty years since by ^Ir. King at Coombe wood. 

 It is now in ^Ir. Bentley's collection. Haworth mentions that a 

 specimen was in Dr. Leach's cabinet, now in the British Museum ; 

 but I beheve that specimen was destroyed by Dr. Leach previously 

 to depositing his fine collection in that national repository.
