This infe&t alfo appears to bea nondefcri pt fpecies; we have called 
it Radiatella, or rayed, from the form of the dark ftripes which rife 
- from the bafe, and fpread i in the form of rays to the apices of the up- 
per wings. It is very liable to change after death, and particularly the 
buff colour, which appears very bright when the infect is frefh, but 
is fometimes fo altered in appearance when placed in the cabinet, that 
an intermixture of that colour can be fcarcely diftinguifhed between 
the'rays of purple; we mention this circumftance, as very ior {mall 
lepidopterous infects are fubject to fuch alteration. 
It is found about the fame time as the Phaleena Criftalana, and I bes 
lieve is equally fcarce.
