Moreover, Donovan's figure and description do not precisely correspond with the Fabrician 

 description, so that on both these grounds I have considered it advisable to give the specific

This beautiful creature is probably scarce in China ; at least it is very rarely found 

 among the insects brought from that country. 



It is figured on the plate with the Rosa semperflorens (Ever-blowing China Rose).
