the ferruginous dorfal fpot, furrounded with a thick black mark, 

 although pretty, is by no means peculiar to this fpecies, being common 

 to feveral other minute moths : the clouded markings of black and 

 buff-colour, interfperfed with filver, give this little animal a beautiful 

 appearance, particularly under the microfcope. The under wings 

 have a fimilar appearance of a peacock's feather, but more obfolete at 

 the apex. 



We believe this fpecies has never been defcribed before, and very 

 rarely taken. Our fpecimen was found in SulTex. — Augufr.
