57.76

蜚蛾 ('cockroaches and moths'; the first character has the sound 非 [fēi]. Guo [Pu's] commentary on the Erya says: "'Fei' (蜚) is the stinkbug called 'fupan' (負盤)." Du [Yu's] commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: "'Fei' is also the 'fan' (蠜)." Gu Yewang says: "The 'fupan' is the 'fei'." The Shuowen says it is formed from [the radical] 虫 with 非 as the phonetic component).
