THE SMALL TIGER MOTH. 



This is rather a scarce British lepidoptera, being 

 infinitely more rare than the Ruby Tiger Moth, 

 (Phakenafuliginosce,) and the Great Tiger Moth. 



A variety of this species, with crimson under 

 wings, is found in the East Indies and in America. 

 The under wings of the female, in the European 

 specimens, are much redder than the male.
