The natural history of British insects; explaining them in their several states, with the periods of their transformations, their food, oeconomy, &c together with the history of such minute insects as require investigation by the microcsope The whole illustrated by coloured figures, designed and executed from living specimens . yji. Nat. 2. 821. 43.—Fn. Sv. 1130.—Fab. Ent. Syji. T. 3. p. 1. 446, Verz. 52. pap. 19. tab. 3. a. Icon. tab. 68. fig. 2, 3. We have in Few inftances been able to prefent a fpecies of Pha-Jaana, with all its metamorphofis, more deferving attention than theBlack Arches Moth. It js uncommonly rare in the winged ftate,and its larva and pupa is, we prefume, unknown to the EnglifhEntomologifts at this time. We imagine Harris met with, and bred this 30 PLATE CCXXVII. this In feci, though he has not figured it: he fays it fed on the Oak,that it changed into chryfalis June 9th, and appeared in the wingedHate July 9th, a ilatement nearly correfponding with the laterobfervation of others. The larva is rather a general feeder ; for though Harris mentionsonly Oak, we found that it would not refufe the leaves of fruit-trees,fuch as Apples, pears, &c.; it feeds alfo on the Willow and female is larger than the male, and has antennae like briftles.
