18 PLATE CCXXIIL 
The larva of this phalena is unknown to us, and has neither 
been figured or defcribed in any of the entomological works recently 
publilhed. The notes of Harris are not altogether fatisfattory ; 
he mentions the time of its changing from the caterpillar to the 
pupa, but bas given no figure or defcription of either. The ento- 
mologifts of Germany, where the moth is not fcarce, feem unac- 
guainted with its metamorphofis. Fabricius, the Jateft writer on the 
fubje&t, has defcribed only the perfect infect.
