cent, with the nervrires, a band round the outer 

 margin, and a discoidal streak on the upper pair, 

 purplish-hrown ; the base more or less tinged with 

 green. The antennaa are blue-blacki 



The caterpillar feeds on the honeysuckle and 

 yellow bedstraw. It is pale green, with the legs, 

 under side of the body, and anal horn, reddish 

 brown; the stigmata black, with a white centre. 

 The perfect insect is found occasionally in Kent, 

 Surrey, Essex, and other southern counties, and was 

 once taken, as mentioned by Mr Stephens, in con- 

 siderable plenty near York, by W. C. Hewitson, 

 Esq. This seems to be nearly its northern limit, 

 as neither it nor the following species, as far as we 

 know, have hitherto been detected in Scotland.
