PhaLjENA Testaceata. Whitifla, with numerous teftaceous fcal- 

 loped lines : a common broad pale band in the 

 middle ; and marginal feries of oblong black dots.

 are taken, is the only example of its fpecies we have feen, and hence 

 we are inclined to confider it exceedingly fearce, if not perfeaiy 

 unique. The fmaller figure exemplifies the natural fize.
