A species of very rare occurrence. It is a native of South 

 America, and is remarkable for the delicacy and elegance of 

 its appearance. Fabricius, who visited London about half a century 

 ago, saw a specimen of this insect in the cabinet of an Enghsh 

 collector, Mr. Yeats, and describes it as being of a white colour. 

 The example which he observed in that cabinet was probably much 

 faded, for when in fine condition the tint is a warm and tender 

 yellowish, delicately shaded with a brownish hue. 



The figures in the annexed plate exhibit both the upper and 

 lower surface.
