The feticornate Phai&nay with white patent wings , # marginal fafcia 
behind^ and with four white fpots on the fafcidy which on the inferior 
ones is black. 
Thi5 is a very Angular fpecies: it is of the Aze of a fraall fly: the antenna are Ample 
llender, and pointed at the extremities, and are of about half the length of the body, 
and the fevera* aiticulations they are compofed of have each a white triangular fpot on 
one Ade, fo that they feem, when flightly viewed, to have annular marks of white : 
the upper wings are white; they have a brown edge behind, and a Angle fpot in the 
middle, whete they are bluifh, and a flexuous line of bluifh-green j on the under Ade 
they are grey, and have a brown fpot in the middle : the under wings are white, but 
they have a black tranfverfe line toward the hinder edge, and, over that, a bluilh-vreen 
flexuous line, and four white fpots, and in the middle they have a black fpot 5 thev are 
whiter on the under furface than on the upper. It’s caterpillar feeds on the common 
duck-weed, and makes itfelf a cafe of a convoluted leaf of it, in which it pafles the 
chryfalis ftate on the furface of the water. 
The fly is common with us about ponds.
