There are two figures distinguished by triple stars ; the first 

 shown in the upper part of the plate exemplifies the appearance of 

 the under surface of the insect, and also its natural size. The larger 

 figure in the middle of the plate, which is likewise distinguished by 

 three stars, presents an enlarged view of the upper surface, and 

 when thus magnified, it exhibits an appearance of peculiar novelty and 

 elegance.
