The colours of this insect appear to have been faded. Head red brown, having on the top a small 

 moveable horn, like a bristle, which the insect can raise at pleasure. Eyes dark. Thorax and abdomen 

 dark brown. Anus white. The ends of the anterior wings are red brown ; from whence, to the 

 shoulders, they appear of a dead black, spotted with small white spots ; but when the insect was living, 

 probably the black part was of a fine mazarine blue. The external edges of the posterior wings are 

 transparent; the abdominal edges white, and the middle part black, spotted with white, like the 

 superior. Breast, beak, and legs, red brown. Abdomen, on the under side the same, being edged 

 with scarlet. 



This insect has a white substance issuing from the anus resembling the downy part 

 of a feather, or that which joins the quill. — Add. vol. 2.
