From the Englifh name given to this beautiful and extremely 
fearce moth, we learn that it has been taken at Clifden: we have 
alfo heard of its being found in other parts of England ; and, if we 
can rely on our information, a fpecimen was taken in July, 1795, 
in the fields near Hoxton. 
We have never underftood that the larva had been found in this 
country. Feeds on the afh tree.
