yellowifh brown ; both vary in the markings, and are nearly tVice 

 the fize of our fpecimen. In Sulzer, the wings are fhorter and 

 more pointed than in the preceding work ; and are rather pellucid 

 and tinged with yellow: the markings totally different from thofe In 

 Roejel. Thofe in Schceffer are mod like one of our fpeclmens in 

 form and reddifli colour, but ftill with markings as different from it 

 as from either of the preceding figures. We may hence conclude 

 the marks are inconftant, and the colours extremely variable ; and 

 that in point of fize, the prefent fpecies may be the Var'ia of Fa- 

 bricius, fmce he notices its affinity to the P, Grandis; and adds, it 

 is rather fmaller.-— " Nimis Affinis P. Grandis at paullo minor."

 ture, greenifli, the wings reticulated, perfedly tranfparent, with 

 various beautiful, pearly, reddifli, greenifh, and yellowifli gloffes. 

 The eye is large, globular, and has the appearance of gold, whence 

 Its Englifh trivial name. Stink much before a thunder-f^orm.
