France, but I only observed it on the trunks of trees in the 

 beautiful Gardens at Nismes. 



The only species inhabiting Great Britain is the P, semi- 

 natwnis, which is generally found in hedges. I observed a 

 considerable number of them last June, running over and 

 skipping about the leaves of the plant figured, in a hedge near 

 Oxford, and I could not discover a single specimen on the 

 surrounding bushes and plants : they are, however, said to be 

 found on the leaves of the Spinach. 



I may not have a better opportunity than the present of 

 stating that the conjecture respecting the ceconomy of Tephri- 

 tis cornuta (folio 241) has been lately corroborated by a Lady, 

 who reared several examples of T. Arctii and obtained their 

 pupae, the middle of last October, from the calyx of a variegated 

 Blue Bottle [Centaur ea Cijanus,) growing in her garden ; and 

 as all the species of the genus seem to be attached to Synge- 

 nesious or Composite flowers, as Onopordum, Arctium, Cen- 

 taurea, Carduus, &c., their ceconomy is in all probabiHty very 

 similar. 



The Plant represented in the Plate is Cortins sanguinea 

 (Dog-berry or Cornel Tree).
