PLATE CXXIX. 57 



fourth Volume of Infers, and in this we find the figure of a Moth 

 whofe markings and general appearance correfpond with our fpeci- 

 men, though its colours are totally different, being a very pale grey 

 with fcarcely any dark colour near the apex of the wings ; the larva 

 much more refembles our figure, and induces us to conclude, that 

 though the figure of this laft Moth is fo extremely different, it is 

 probably intended for the fame fpecies as our Infect ; and therefore 

 that the two diftind: fpecies have been confounded together, by a 

 falfe quotation of Linnaeus's Amanuenfis. 



And we are partly confirmed in this {uppofition by the words of 

 Linnaeus himfelf ; he fays, Ph. Anajiomojis is very like Ph. Curtula, 

 but the Moth figured in Rcefel's plate, and referred to in the Syno- 

 nyms under Anaftomofis, does not bear the leaft refemblance to it ; 

 — our Infect on the contrary, though evidently a diftinft fpecies, is 

 not unlike it*
