Das Weibchen. (Female.) Panz. Faun. Inf. German. 



This extremely rare Infeft is always confidered as a Britifh fpecies, 

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

 thofe are German Infecls 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 collection 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 Carfhalton. 



Whether Harris ever met with this In feci: we cannot pretend to 

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

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

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

 period in the collections of the curious. 



The Male differs much from the Female : it is rather fmaller, 

 with the colours and markings uniformly darker, and has the poflerior 

 wings orange inftead of greyifh as in the female; both fexes are 

 fhewn in the annexed plate. Fig. L Male. Fig. II. Female.
