64 PLATE CLVIII. 



This extremely rarelnfeft is always confidered as a Britifh fpecies, 

 and is ufually found in the cabinet of the Englith entomologift ; yet 

 thofe are German Infeds generally, for we know only of one fpeci- 

 men which is clearly afcertained to have been found in this country. 

 The fpecimen alluded to is in the colledion of Mr. Francillon, 

 jeweller, in Newcaftle-ftreet, in the Strand : it is a female, and was 

 found by that gentleman's brother in his garden at Carihalton. 



Whether Harris ever met with this Infed we cannot pretend to 

 determine ; he fays it appears in the winged flate in April *. We 

 cannot hefitate to fuppofe, that this Moth has been found in England 

 feveral times, particularly in IQnl ; but none of thefe remain at this 

 period in the coUedlions of the curious. 



The Male differs much from the Female : both fexes are fhewn 

 in the annexed plate. Fig. I. Pv/Iale. Fig. II. Female. 



Fuejly^ in a German publication, has given the only figure wc 

 are acquainted with of the Caterpillar of this Moth ; and Fabr'icius 

 has copied his defcription from the coloured engraving. It is green, 

 ■with oblique lines of yellowifh brown, and large fpots of golden 

 yellow.
