Linnasus gave this little Moth the fpecific name Bergmanniana^ in 

 honour of Prof. Bergmann, a naturalift of diftingnifhed eminence. 

 It is a very pretty Infe6l ; but, when magnified, its appearance is 

 truly fuperb, the ground colour which is bright yellow, fhewing 

 the orange markings to great advantage, and the metallic fplendour 

 of the burnifhed lilver appearing like raifed work above the ftripes 

 or bands of dark brown that crofs the upper wings. 



We have found this Moth at Highgate. The Caterpillars are 

 yellow, with a ftreak of green down the back ; but the green dif- 

 9ppears before the lad fkin, in which they are of a pale yellow, 

 without gny marks whatever. They feed on white thorn.
