RUBY-FLY CLEAR-WING. 
m 
Although an abundant species in the northern 
pai-ts of France and in Germany, only one instance 
is recorded of this insect having been taken in 
Britain ; it was found by a very indefatigable col- 
lector, and is now in the possession of Mr. Haworth. 
AVe now come to the extensive tribe named 
Lepidoftera Nocturna, or Moths, which fonn 
the third great division of the class. For an account 
of their distinctive properties and general history, 
which embraces many curious and interesting sub- 
jects of inquiry, reference may be made to the 
introductory portion of the volume, in which we 
save attempted to present what seems most de- 
serving of notice in relation to them.
