 ders, red ; top wings, a brown red, and of amber trans- 

 parency ; under-wings, fine, of a bio brown tinge and 

 transparency ; body, a light red or amber ; legs, notch- 

 ed, and a red brown color : the hind ones long, and 

 seem fixed low on the breast plate near the centre of

 of a bio brown transparency ; body, a blue dun, with 

 light side lines; legs, a light stone color; shoulders, 

 hairy, with a tuft on the top of the head, which distin-

 and seem jointed to two short tufts, which stand up- 

 right on the head. They hatch this month, in the 

 middle of the day, and are out in the evenings ; they 

 are often met with under broad leaves by the water 

 sides.
