PHALiENAMAPPA. 

 Map-Wing Swift Moth. 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Wings brown, with large irregular waved marks of a livid colour, 

 and four diftindl white triangular fpots near the apex. 



Phal^na Mappa : alls fufcis: liturla magnis irregularibus lividis 

 pun6lif(jue quatuor poftice albidis. 



A Moth of the HeptaluSf a new genus in the Fabriclan Syrtem, 

 including only ten fpecies, neither of which agrees with our Infeft, 

 and we apprehend it is not defcribed by any other Author. 



In the Linnasan Syftem, this can only be regarded as a family of 

 the Phalasna tribe. The Englifli colledlors have denominated this 

 family Swifts, as noticed already in the defcriptions of Humuli and 

 He£la, (plate 274. fig. l, 2, 3.) — The prefent Infed may be con- 

 fidered as one of the rarefl; Englifh undefcribed fpecies, and the many 

 windings of the numerous marks on the anterior wings, immedi- 

 ately fugged the appropriate fpecific name of Mappa.
