BEOAD-BOEDERED BEE HAWK-MOTH. 169 
cent, with, the nerrures, a band round the outer 
margin, and a discoidal streak on the upper pair, 
purplish-bro^vn ; the base more or less tinged with 
green. The antennae are hlue-hlack. 
The caterpillar feeds on the honeysuckle and 
yellow bedstraw. It is pale green, with the legs, 
imder side of the body, and anal horn, reddish 
brorni; the stigmata black, with a white centre. 
The perfect insect is foimd occasionally in Kent, 
Surrey, Essex, and other southern cotmties, and was 
once taken, as mentioned by Mr Stephens, in con- 
siderable plenty near York, by W. C. Hewitson, 
Esq. This seems to be nearly its northern limit, 
as neither it nor the foUo'wing species, as far as we 
know, have hitherto been detected in Scotland.
