Antenna; very slender, generally longer than the wings, and sometirhes a little 

 serrated within, the basal joint rather stout: maxillary jaa/pt above as long 

 again as the labial, the terminal joint very much elongate and slightly 

 attenuated, irregidarly wrinkled transversely, as is also the apical joint 

 of the labial : head pilose : eyes small : thorax subovate : wings rather 

 ample, anterior elongate, narrow at the base, the apex obliquely truncate.

 (Exp. Alar. 15 lin.?) 



Phr. reticulata. Linni, — Turton (!) — Phi. reticulatus. Steph. Catal. 318. 

 No. 3602, note. 



Black : wings pale ferruginous, anterior transversely reticulated with black, 

 with some spots of the same on the hinder margin and on the disc ; posterior 

 with a waved black fascia, and a marginal row of somewhat confluent black 

 spots. 



I have never seen this insect : from the Liiinean definition, it hardly belongs 

 to this genus, but I know not where else to locate it: from Panzer's figure 

 it seems allied to the foregoing insects, and probably the Linnean term, 

 ''venis atro reticulatis," merely refers to the appearance of reticulation 

 arising from the colouring. 



Turton gives this as indigenous, but I believe improperly.
