The Synonyms of this rare Infe6l have been more minutely col- 

 lefted, than is common in the defcriptions of this work, as it has 

 been generally confidered an lindefcribed fpecies. Mr. Crow, of 

 Feverfham, who has enriched the colleilions of feveral gentlemen in 

 London, with many curious Infers, met with two or three fpeci- 

 tnens of this Moth, and among others fent- one to Mr. Bentley, 

 a colle£lor in London, a few years Iincc. I have to acknowledge 

 being favoured with this lnfe£l by Lord William Seymour j his 

 Lordlhip met with it in Wiltfhire. 



Fahnc'iuSy in the Species InfeSiorum, has made a very confiderablc 

 error \ and which it is proper to notice in this place, '* No£iua Mar- 

 ginata, native of America," and defi.Tibed from the CoUeclion of 

 Dr. Hunter, occurs in page 216. fpec. 40; and again in page 23O0 

 fpec. 108, *' No£fua Marginatay a native of Europe," the prefsnt 

 fpecimen. The former he has indeed changed to " NoSiua Margl- 

 nella" in his laft work, Entomohglce Syjiematicce, but without the 

 flighted notice of the firft miftake, or any reference to the Spcciei 

 InJeBorum, 



It appears to be a native of Germany by the laft work publiflied 

 by Klemann, though perhaps it is very rare in that country as it is 

 given in a fupplementary feries of plates to his work, and his plates 

 are but a fupplement of the more rare Infeds, not figured in Roefel's 

 publications.
