 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Zeuzera : cyaneous, with all the wings coloured alike, orange, with cyaneous spots, 

 and a broad central longitudinal bar of the same colour. Expanse of the wings, 

 from 3 to 4 inches. 



Donovan observes that " Cramer has given the figure of a small specimen of this 

 fine Phalasna under the trivial name of Mineus. This is evidently of the male ; the 

 antenna? of which are not, however, very correctly expressed. Both sexes of this rare 

 insect are represented in the annexed plate, the drawings of which were taken from 

 specimens met with in Bengal, by Mr. Fichtel of Yienna. The originals are at this 

 time in the cabinet of the Emperor of Germany." The same insect, but apparently 

 from a very indifferent specimen, is figured by Bschscholtz in Kotzebue's Entdeckungs 

 Reise in die Sud. See, &o. Weimar, 1821, p. 219, pi. 11, fig. 29, under the name of 

 Zeuzera viridicans.
