Wiener Found in the larva Hate in May and June, appears on the wing inAuguft. The fpecies is well diftinguilhed by the character-like fufcousmark in the middle of the anterior wings, a kind of double mark,formed by the junction of two fubquadrangular fpots that unite toge-ther at their moft contiguous angle, being a little oblique from eachother. Some compare this mark to the Hebrew character D, butit does not well agree with this; the fimple appellation of doublefquare fpot is much more applicable. PLATE J3i.
