1% PLATE CCXXIII. 



The larva of this phalaena is unknown to us, and has neither 

 been figured or defcribed in any of" the entomological works recently 

 publiftied. The notes of Harris are not altogether fatisfadlory ; 

 he mentions the time of its changing from the caterpillar to the 

 pupa, but has given no figure or defcription of either. The ento- 

 mologifts of Germany, where the phalasna is not fcarce, feem 

 unacquainted with its raetamorphofis. Fabricius, the latefl writer 

 on the fubjecl, has not defcribed it.
