Tus pretty moth is brown and white clouded, 
like an agate, having a large clouded eyelike spot 
next to the exterior margin of the superior wings ; 
the wings of the male extend from an inch and 
two-thirds to three quarters; those of the female 
from an inch and five-sixths to eleven-twelfths ; 
and the interior margin is provided with a tuft, or 
appendage ; the antenna are feathered, purplish, 
and intersected with dashes of black, and a mar- 
ginal black streak ; and the fringe is brown, dotted 
with white; the lower wings are of an ashy gray, 
with a black marginal line, and a whitish fringe, 
of a dark brown colour towards the posterior angle. 
The caterpillar of the Pebble Prominent Moth is 
very beautiful, and at the same time very singular
