This flripe is quite clofe to the lower edge 
of the upper wing all the way; and beneath it 
is a flripe or chain of yellow fpots running 
parallel with the upper one, and at equal dil- 
tanccs from each other, with fuch regularity as 
to appear like a necklace. In this line there 
are fixteen fpots on each wing; and near tlie 
edge below there are eight more. 
The expanfionof die wings is three inches and a half. 
Fig. lo. Smali, Gate-Keeper; the Pamphi- 
LiuG, Plebeii, of Linnaeus. The head, tho- 
rax, and abtlom.cn, are black. The wings are 
all of a light orange clay-colour, bordered with 
a mifty brown ; the fuperior ones have a fmall 
black fpeck near the tips; and each wing is 
fringed with white. 
Fig. 1 1 . Under-fide. The fuperior wings are finer 
and deeper in colour than on the upper-fide; 
the eye near the tip is remarkably lively, hav- 
ing a fmall v/hite fpeck in the centre of a black 
fpot, which is again encircled with a ring of yel- 
low. The inferior wings are of a greyilli clay- 
colour, except the upper-part next the thorax, 
which appears to be one entire cloud of duflcy 
brown. 
The expanfion of the wings is one inch and a 
quarter. 
The caterpillar feeds on grafs; and the fly, which 
appears at the end of April, or in the month of 
June, generally plays among the grafs, and ne- 
ver flies high. 
PLATE THE THIRD. 
Fig. I- Green-Veined White; the Napi, Da- 
naij of Linnsus. The antennje are fpeckled 
■ from the head to the knobs. The head and 
thorax appear black, covered with a greyifli 
hair; but, near the neck, they are yellowifh. 
The abdomen is black, and powdered with white 
fpecks. The wings are of a lovely foft green- 
ifli white ; and the tendons are very viflble, ap- 
pearing like fo many hair-ftrokes. The tips of 
the fuperior wing are black for about a quarter 
of an inch, between which and the lower or 
flip-edge there are two black fpots. Tiie in- 
ferior wings have only one fpot, which is on the 
upper-edge, a litde above the outer corner, and 
generally concealed by the lower edge of t!ie 
fuperior wing. 
Fig. 2. Under-fide. Theeyesareof a dark brown, 
nearly approaching to black. The palpi, legs, 
breaft, and the whole of the under-wings, toge- 
ther with the tips of the fuperior ones, are of a 
fine bright greenifli-yellow. The fuperior wings 
have two black fpots, as on the upper-fide ; and 
the tendons of the inferior ones feem edged or 
bordered v/ith duft-like fpecks. 
The expanfion of the wings is two inches. 
This IS the defcription of the female; the male has 
only one black fpot, exclufive of the black tip. 
The caterpillar, which is green, feeds chiefly on 
cabbage ; it changes to the chryfalis in Septem- 
ber, and the fly appears about die middle of 
May. It breeds in gardens, but roves over 
comm.ons, woods, fields of wheat, &c. and is 
frequently m-Ct with even in tov/ns. 
Fig. 3. Cyane, or Zigzag. The head, thorax, 
and abdomen, are of a dark brown. The ground 
of the iuperior v/ings is black, but of an orange- 
. brown tov/ards the thorax, with a long daib of 
light blue down the long tendon, which is th8 
fecond trom the flip or lower-edge. Abouf 
haJf way there is a broad, irregular, whitifh^ 
or cream-coloured bar, which croffcs the v/ing 
to within a quarter of an inch of the fan-edge* 
The under-wings are of a milky or cream.-co^ 
loured white, having three rows of black fpots 
croffing the wings from fide to fide, parallel ro 
each other, amounting to about tvv'enty-one 
in each wing. They are all bordered with a 
band of black, which is about a quarter of an 
inch broad, ornamented with a beautiful zigzag 
line; and which, taking it's beginning from the 
tip or apex of one of the fuperior v/ings, continues 
along round the borders of all the four wings till 
it reaches the tip of the other fuperior one. 
Fig. 4. Under-fJe. The under-fide has a broad 
zigzag border, fim.ilar to that of the upper, but 
a little narrower in the under-wings. The ge- 
neral ground of the four wings is akind of cream- 
colour; the inferior wing being fpotted fimilar 
to the upper-fide, pretty large, and crouded near 
the thorax, where the ground is blue, as it is on 
the table-tendon, or upper-edge. The fuperior 
wing is ornamented with black fpots or clouds 
of various forms. There are four remarkable 
round or oval ones near the outward border; and 
thofe which feem to croud near the llioulders are 
ornamented with blue and red, which feparate or 
furround them, not eafy to be defcribed. The 
legs are white; and the thorax is of a dark brown, 
having two black marks on each fide. 
The expanfion of the wings is three inches and 
three-quarters. 
This fly came from Siam, in the Eafl Indies. 
Fig. 5. High Brown Fritillaria; the Adip- 
PE, Nymphales, of Linnsus. The antenna are- 
pretty long, and almofl: round; the eyes are 
large, and of a deep reci-brown; the thorax: 
and abdomen are of a dark brown, covered 
with brown hair of a greeniflr glofs. The wings 
are all of a yellow-brown orange-colour, prettily 
bordered v/ith a double black line on the fan- 
edges all round; above which, in each mem- 
brane, there is a Ipot in the form of a crefcent, 
which compleats the agreeable uniformity of the 
border. I'he other parts of the wings are fpot- 
ted all over with black of various forms, not 
eafily to be defcribed ; but many of them are 
round, and not fo large as a hem.p-feed. 
Fig. 6. Under-fide. The under-fi.de is much like 
the upper, but has no double line in the border. 
The thorax, as well as the legs, are of a yellow 
orange-brown, with a greenilh glofs. The in- 
ferior wings are of a fine golden yellow, orna- 
mented with about two and twenty fpangles, 
fliining like filver or mother-of-pearl: and a few 
others are alfo feen on the tips of the fuperior 
wings, but confiderably lefs, and only about fiJt 
in number. 
The expanfion of the wings is two inches and a half. 
The caterpillar, which is of the briftly fort, feeds 
on the violet. It changes to the chryfalis about 
the end of May, and the fly appears in plenty at 
the latter end of June. It flies in or near woods, 
and is very ftrong, bold, and rapid in flight. 
The infedb above defcribed is a male, and may be 
known by the thicknefs and blacknefs of the firfl: 
and fecond fan-tendons, which are loaded with 
hair rifing high on each fide, fo as to form a 
ridge at the top.
