54 PLATE LVII. 



An elegant Species of the minuter kinds of Lepidopterous Infers: 

 it derives its name from the fpots of bright orange, or gold colour, 

 which are on the fuperior wings: is very rare: our fpecimen was 

 taken in Kent, late in July ; it appears peculiar to that county only, or is 

 certainly very unfrequently, if ever, found elfewhere. 



Larva unknown.

SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Grey. A circular fpot of gold, or orange colour, at the apex of 

 each fuperior Wing. 



Non-defcript, and is alfo very rare. Our fpecimen was procuwd 

 by beating a White thorn-bufh, on Epping-foreft, early in May. 



The orange fpot on the ends of the upper wings afFord the moft 

 ftriking diftindion for a Specific Charafteri we therefore deno- 

 minate it Apicella.
