14 PUA PTL. 
The Synonyms of this rare Infe&t have been more minutely col. 
le€ted, than is common in the defcriptions of this work, as it has 
been generally confidered an undefcribed {fpecies. Mr. Crow, of 
Feverfhaim, who has enriched the colleétions of feveral gentlemen in — 
London, with many curious Infeéts, met with two or three fpeci. 
mens of this Moth, and among others fent one to Mr. Bentley, 
a colleGtor in London, a few years fince. I have to acknowledge — 
being favoured with this Infe& by Lenp WitL1am Seymour; his 
Lordfhip met with it in Wiltfhire. 
Fabricius, in the Species Infe€forum, has made a very confiderable 
error ; and which it is proper to notice in this place, ‘* Noéfua Mar. 
ginata, native of America,’ and defcribed from the Colle&ion of 
Dr. Hunter, occurs in page 216. fpec. 40; and again in page 230. 
fpec. 108, ‘* Noctua Marginata a native of Europe,” the prefent 
fpecimen. The former he has indeed changed to ‘* Noétua Margi- 
nella” in his laft work, Entomologia Syftematice, but without the 
flighteft notice of the firfi miflake, or any reference to the Species 
Snfectorum. a 
It appears to be a native of Germany by the laft work publifhed 
by Klemann, though perhaps it is very rare in that country as it 1s 
given in a fupplementary feries of plates to his work, and his plates 
are but afupplement of the more rare Infets, not figured in Roefel’s 
publications.
