GHOST MOTH. 
Of this beautiful Moth, we have figured both 
the Male and the Female, which greatly difFer 
from each other. The latter possesses ineom- 
^parably the most beauty. 
The antennae of the Female are very short, 
3t being more than an eighth of an inch long ; 
they are of a light brown colour. The eyes 
are a dark brown. The neck, and thorax, 
r-re the colour of yellow ochre. The superior 
ings are of a gold colour, having stains or 
•ots of a bright brownish red placed in va- 
Dus parts: but the most remarkable is, a kind 
} of bar; which, rismg from the tips, crosses 
'the fan tendons to the slip edge. In some 
species, this bar comes not quite so low; for 
they vary much from each other, so that two 
are hardly to be found with markings exa6lly 
alike. The inferior wings are of a dusky 
pale brown ; which, towards the fan edges, 
softens to a reddish tan. The abdomen is the 
same ; being of a dusky pale brown towards 
'"'le thorax, but softening near the anus to 2l 
ddish tan. 
The Male is considerably smaller than the 
Female.
