PHALiENA B. oleagina. 
t 
Spec. Char. Crested. Antennae pectinated. Upper 
wings above variegated, with dark brown, lighter 
brown, and white $ nerves yellow green, a 
white spot near the middle of each wing, and 
an obscure whitish ring, with a lightish blot 
below it, nearer the shoulders. Lower wing light 
brown, margin dark brown. Wings dentate be- 
neath, light brown, margin brown, a black spot 
in the middle of the lower wing. 
T his new British Moth was bred by Mr. Plasted of Chelsea, 
who does not remember where he took the caterpillar. It 
very much resembles P. JV. Persicarice; but the antenna; 
being feathered help to distinguish it.
