As a general hiſtory of the Entomological productions of
Great Britain, this work has been long acknowledged the
moft copious hitherto ſubmitted to the Public. The firſt
part, compriſing no leſs than ten volumes, having already
appeared in monthly numbers, the author does not con-
ceive it in any reſpect incumbent on him to enlarge on
its pretenſions to notice. Whatever may be its merits,
the author mult, in candour, allow they have been am-
ply appreciated by the liberality of that public, who, for
the ſpace of ten years, were pleaſed to ſanction it with
the beſt teſtimony of their approbation. The publication
of this work has been ſome time diſcontinued, but the
occaſion of this delay is ſufficiently known. The Author
had then fulfilled his firſt engagements, ſo far as related
to this work, and was unwilling to treſpaſs beyond the li-
mits thoſe engagements preſcribed. --He ſtated, notwith-
ſtanding, at the concluſion of the work, that no conſidera-
tion ſhould permit him to entirely abandon his entomologi-
cal purſuits : that his attention would be directed to a fei-
ence in which the paſt indulgence of the public had induced
him to believe he might yet be uſeful; and that, ſhould a
number of new and valuable infects occur, they would be
certainly added in a ſupplemental form to improve the
former work. Since that period, the author has been led to
conceive, his endeavours might not proye unacceptable in
elucidating

[vi]
elucidating the frience of Britiſh Entomology, upon a ftill
more extenſive ſcale than even this ſuggeſtion intimated;
and it is under this idea, he once more ſolicits the at-
tention of his former ſubſcribers and the public, in favour
of a ſecond part of his original undertaking.
a
The object of the ten preceding volumes was avowedly
to comprehend a ſelection only of the moſt beautiful, or
otherwiſe particularly intereſting ſpecies of infeéts from
all the various claffes, but more eſpecially from that of the
Lepidopterous tribes; more was not promiſed, and could
not have been expected. When, therefore, the author
ventures to extend the limits of his original deſign, the
motives for it ſhould be unequivocally ſtated. It is not
upon the addition merely of a few ſelect fubjects omitted
in the former work, either in a ſupplemental, or any other
form, that he now conceives he ought to reft his claims to
further notice, but by declaring what it is his intention to
fulfil; that the future volumes, with the preceding, ſhall
compriſe, collectively, a general hiſtory, and elucidation in
appropriate defcriptions, and figures, of the whole ENTO-
MOLOGIA BRITANNICA, ſo far as his own cabinet,
,
and the obliging communications of his friends will permit.
—And here the author begs leave to ſtate, that the time
elapſed ſince the concluſion of the former part of the
work has been employed in a manner beſt calculated to
give effect to this deſign. Independently of many valu-
able acquiſitions collected by himſelf and various friends
in remote parts of the kingdom, he has the fatisfaction
to obſerve, that two entire cabinets, of eminent celebrity,
have been lately added to that which he before poffefſed.
The

[ vii ]
The firſt of thoſe collections is of the utmoſt conſe-
quence to the ſcientific Entomologiſt, as muſt be ad-
mitted, when it is obſerved to be the genuine cabinet
of Britiſh Infects, formed by the late Mr. D. Drury, the
patron of Harris, and father, as he may be truly deemed,
of practical Entomology in this country :-a cabinet, the
reſult of thirty years, induſtriouſly and moſt ardently de-
voted to this purſuit, and combining the united informa-
tion and diſcoveries of almoſt every other Engliſh Aure-
lian for a long period of time.—And even after naming
this, perhaps the firſt eſtabliſhed cabinet of any note in
England, it will not appear trivial to mention the other,
that of the late Mr. Green, of Weſtminſter, a collector
well known to the practical Entomologiſts of the preſent
day, as inferior to few, if any, in his zealous and perfe-
vering attachment to this ſubject. The poſthumous la-
bours of two or three other collectors might be likewiſe
named, as at this time enriching the author's cabinet, and
one eſpecially of Kentiſh Inſects, collected in the neigh-
bourhood of Faverſham; but enough the author preſumes
has been already faid, to prove that he has been no less
ſucceſsful than affiduous, in availing himſelf of ſuch pre-
eminent advantages, and that he has ultimately amaſſed to-
gether, ſuch a collection of the Entomological productions
of this country, as may enable him to render the con-
tinuation of his Natural History of Britiſh Inſects ſo far
reſpectable as to gratify every moderate ſhare of expec-
tation.
And laſtly, the author truſts, that in thus proceed-
ing upon an enlarged and comprehenſive plan towards
the elucidation of this pleaſing department of Britiſh
Natural

[ viji
Natural Hiſtory, he will merit the liberal countenance,
not only of every Entomologiſt, but of every friend to
the purſuits of ſcience; and be enabled, through their
kind communications, to bring forward and complete,
a more copious, intereſting, and uſeful work, than can
even now be anticipated.

We are happy to embrace the preſent opportunity of preſenting
our readers with a figure of this magnificent ſpecies of Hawk-Moth,
as a new Britiſh Infect, upon the beſt and moſt unqueſtionable au-
thority. We have a specimen of it among the Britiſh Sphinges, in
the cabinet of the late Mr. Drury, now in our pofſeflion, with a
manuſcript note affixed, informing us that this identical infect was
taken in the neighbourhood of London, and brought to him alive
ſome few years ago *. The figure accompanying this deſcription will
afford a better idea of the beauty of this valuable acquiſition, than
any words we can employ; it is repreſented preciſely in its natural
ſize, and as nearly reſembling it in markings, and colours, as the fide-
lity of the pencil will admit.
When we ſay the figure of this inſect is ſubmitted for the firft
time as a Britiſh fpecies, we wiſh to be underſtood as ſpeaking of
the figure only, for the very ſpecimen under conſideration at this time
has been already deſcribed as a Britiſh inſect, and the ſpecies itſelf
is perfectly well known as an exotic, or extra-european kind, to moſt
entomologiſts. It is this ſpecimen that Mr. Haworth mentions in
his recent essay on the Lepidoptera of Great Britain, and upon the
ſole authority of which he inſerted it in that work as a new Britiſh
* The label alluded to, refers to two ſpecimens, namely, our preſent inſect, and
one of Sphinx Convolvuli, both which are mentioned in the following words, in-
fcribed in the hand-writing of Mr. Drury. « One of the above fpecies is certainly
different from the Sph. Convolvulus. The difference is manifeſtly diſcernable. They
were alive when firſt brought to me, one about the year 1776, the other 1788.”-It is
obviouſly impoſſible to collect from the tenor of this memorandum, which of the two
inſects he received firſt, but this we may reft perſuaded of, that he obtained the living
fpecimen of our new Britiſh fpecies either in the year 1776, or 1788.

Inſect. We have, however, ftill further to obſerve, that although it
was unique as Britiſh at the time Mr. Haworth deſcribed it from
Mr. Drury's cabinet, it is not fo at preſent, another collector, as
Mr. Haworth informs us, having captured a ſpecimen of it very
lately in the vicinity of Little Chelſea, near which place it proves,
upon pretty accurate information that Mr. Drury's fpecimen was
alſo taken.
Theſe are our authorities for conſidering the ſpecies as Britiſh,
and of courſe as claiming a very diſtinguiſhed place in the preſent
work, not leſs on account of its magnitude, than its beauty and rarity.
That it is occaſionally found in Britain is fufficiently obvious, but
there are circumſtances attending its hiſtory that leave fome doubts
upon our mind, whether we ought not rather to conſider it as a natu-
ralized ſpecies, than as an aborigine, at the ſame time that the abſo-
lute impoffibility of deciding this doubtful particular muſt be ac-
knowledged.-In America, we well know, it is far from uncommon,
and being naturally a hardy ſpecies, there is at leaſt a poflibility of
the parent ſtock of the Engliſh brood having been originally intro-
duced into this country with the cargoes of fome American veſſels.
This being the true Sphinx Carolina of Linnæus, an inſect ſo
very clearly aſcertained both from the Linnean deſcription of and
from the figure quoted in the works of Merian, we cannot avoid
expreſſing ſome furpriſe, that Mr. Haworth, in his recent publica-
tion above-mentioned, ſhould have deemed it altogether a new ſpecies.
The circumſtance of Mr. Drury's fpecimen having only five pair of
lateral ſpots on the abdomen, inſtead of fix as Linnæus remarks in
ſpeaking of his Sphinx Carolina, may perhaps have led to this error;
for in every other particular Linnæus is ſurely too expreſſive
to be eaſily miſtaken. So far as relates to the number of thoſe
yellow lateral ſpots, the Linnæan definition muſt be underſtood with
ſome latitude, for Linnæus would certainly have been more correct
in ſtating five ſpots on each ſide to be the uſual number, inſtead of
fix. All the ſpecimens of Sphinx Carolina that have occurred to our
own obſervation, have been uniformly marked with five pair of la-
B 2
teral

P L A T E CCCLXI.
teral ſpots only, with the exception of one or two large females, in
which there was a flight appearance of a fixth pair ; a few fulvous
hairs appearing below the black band on each ſide the ſixth annulation
of the abdomen.
The larva of this inſect is green, with lateral ſpiracles on every
ſegment, ſurrounded by a purple ring, and the caudal ſpine is of

Tobacco plant: Mr. Abbot alſo confirms this fact in his hiſtory

This appears on the credit of moſt writers to be a rare infect.
Our ſpecimen was taken in Kent. It is ſaid to inhabit the Pine, Pi-
nus ſylvestris.
We ſhould in particular obſerve that the prevailing or ground co-
lour of the wing-caſes and thorax in our ſpecimen is not red as the
ſpecies is uſually deſcribed, but rather of a light or teſtaceous brown,
at the ſame time that its variegations of white marks and ſpots agree
with the Linnæan deſcription of the inſect.

Linnæus, and after him Fabricius, and ſeveral other writers,

assumes a vermillion tint as brilliant as the common Lady Cow,

Two very remote kinds, or varieties, of Chryſomela graminis, are
ſhewn in the preſent plate ; the firſt is of the uſual fort, green gloffed
with gold, and which in ſome ſpecimens is of inimitable fplendour: the
other is ſmaller, and of a rich and deep blue, fimilar to fome indivi-
duals of Chryſomela Alni, but from which it may be at once diſtin-
guiſhed by being deſtitute of the impreſſed, or excavated dots, on the
wing-caſes ſo apparently in that ſpecies; and by having the legs and
antennæ partaking of the ſame colour as the reſt of the body, while
thoſe parts in Alni are black.
According to Geoffroy, Chryſomela Graminis is found on the Gale-
opfis, Lamium, and other labiofe plants. Linnæus names it ſpecifi-
cally graminis from its feeding upon graſs, in which particular he has
been followed by moſt writers. The ſmaller figures 1 and 2, denote

This inſect approaches very nearly to Phalæna faſciana of Fabricius :
it is alſo allied to Phalæna Gerningana of the fame author, and it is not
unlikely, on future inveſtigation, they may both
prove
to be accidental va-
rieties of the fame ſpecies as our inſect. The upper wings in our ſpeci-
men is of a cinereous brown colour inclining to reddiſh, and marked
with many ſhort tranſverſe lines. Acroſs the middle is a broad band,
and at the tip another ſmaller one, with a flexuous edge, leaving a pale.

This infect is ſeparated from the Linnæan Chryſomela 10-punctata
upon the authority of Entomologia Britannica as above quoted
There is much reaſon to believe it a diſtinct ſpecies, though we cannot
ſpeak preciſely to that effect, ſince it is poflible it may prove, on fu-
ture obſervation, to be the female of Chryſomela 10-punctata, or a
variety of it. The two inſects reſemble each other in ſize, and moſt
other particulars, the bilobate black mark, or confluent ſpots on the
thorax, and the colour of the mouth, and legs excepted: thoſe of C.
10-punctata being black, while in our inſect, they are conſtantly yellow,
or yellowiſh-red, inclining to rufous. Several writers
agree
that Chry-
ſomela 10-punctata, is liable to much variation : Fabricius, in parti-
cular, tells us, he has obſerved it with both the wing-cafes deftitute
of the fifth, or poſterior ſpot. The lower furface is black. Found

It will be obſerved, that the ſpecifie deſcription of the Linnæan
Sphex gibba, left us by Linnæus himſelf, does not very clearly expreſs
our infect, but which it now appears, upon the beſt authority, is cer-
tainly the one intended by that writer. This obſcure circumſtance
has been cleared up by Mr. Kirby, who met with the remains of the
authentic ſpecimen of Sphex gibba in the Linnæan cabinet, and was,
by that means, enabled to aſcertain the ſpecies meant by Linnæus,
which otherwiſe might have ever remained a matter of uncertainty.
Fabricius, unacquainted with the inſect, or more probably unable to
determine the Linnæan inſect from the deſcription, is content to quote
the words of Linnæus. Mr. Kirby has aſſigned it a new character, by
which the ſpecies may, in future, be eaſily diſtinguiſhed. In his ar-

This delicate little Infect was taken in Coombe Wood, Surrey, and

of a darker colour. Befides the conſpicuous elevated hairy tuft in
the middle of the wing, there are ſeveral minute elevated dots in the
dilk contiguous to it, as Fabricius mentions. The anterior wings
have a rich filky gloſs, the lower ones are browniſh, and imma-
culate.
This, we believe, to be one of the rareſt Britiſh ſpecies of that
particular family of Tortrices known among Engliſh collectors by
the denomination of Button-wing moths, a term alluding to the
ſmall faſciculi, tufts, or ſcabrous elevations, which appear on the

Fabricius as a native of Englandt; Roffius as an Italian ſpecies I ;
and we have a ſpecimen of it from Germany; of which laſt country,
Panzer gives it as an inhabitant in his Entomologia Germanica. We
are thus explicit, in order to fhew that it is a general European in-

from the concluding obſervation of the Fabrician deſcription of

Naucoris Cimicoides is an inhabitant of the water, where it fubfifts
by preying on a variety of other inſects, which it attacks and pierces
with its formidable, acutely pointed proboſcis, and extracts their moiſ-
ture in the ſame manner as the bug, or cimex tribe. The habits of this
animal are fimilar to thoſe of the nepæ or water Scorpions, among
which Linnæus places it, though not in our mind with ſufficient rea-
fon: we are perſuaded they ought, on the contrary, to conſtitute two
diſtinct genera. Geoffroy was of this opinion : he ſeparated our inſect
from the nepæ, and referred it to his new genus Naucore, or Naucoris*,
and Fabricius follows the example of Geoffroy in this particular in his
Entomologia Syſtematica. It is a ſtrong, and pretty evident charac-
teriſtic of the two genera Nepa, and Naucoris, that the firſt has not
the leaſt appearance of a lip to the mouth, and the other has one very
viſible and diſtinct an advanced lip of a rounded form t.
This inſect is not common. Our ſpecimens were taken in Kent.
It is well known as an European infect, though not as a Britiſh ſpecies.

+ The ſpecies of the Naucoris genus from this circumſtance might be extremely well
diftinguiſhed by the trivial Engliſh name of Round-Lipped Water-Scorpions among the en-
tomological collectors in this country; the Nepæ are ſimply Water Scorpions.

another ſpecies of Pyrochroa already figured in this work*, our P.coc-
cinea, and P. rubens of Fabricius. On a flight compariſon, the differ-
ence is however obvious, Pyrochroa rubra being rather larger ; the fan-
guineous colour of the ſuperior ſurface is alſo ſomewhat brighter, and
the head of a deep black as in the lower ſurface of the body, while the
head of our P. Coccinea is of the ſame red colour as the thorax, and

two ſexes of the fame ſpecies, or only mere varieties. We think them
diftinct, but Fabricius, upon whoſe authority principally they have been
feparated by moſt late writers, is not perfectly ſatisfied that they are ſo.

The ſpotted Muſlin Moth is one of our rareſt ſpecies of Phalana
in this country. The larva feeds ſecurely from the intruſion of the
Entomologiſt in marſhes and watery places, ſubliſting entirely on
aquatic plants, and is therefore ſcarcely even met with, except in the
winged ſtate, which it affumes in May. The diffimilarity between the
two ſexes of this ſpecies is altogether ſo very remarkable, that it is
only from an intimate acquaintance with the manners of the two inſects
in a ſtate of nature, or the concurrent teſtimony of many obſervers,
that we could be induced to believe them both of the fame ſpecies.
Fabricius, and Gmelin after him, ſays, the larva is greeniſh, hairy,
with whirls of black dots, and yellowish head. The figures in Eſper,

black dots, and tufts of ferruginous hairs. Other writers ſpeak of the
head and tail being red. Thoſe different deſcriptions may be eaſily, how-
ever, reconciled by preſuming thoſe authors had each noticed the larvæ
at different periods of growth, or perhaps this diffimilarity may ſerve to
point out the difference between the two ſexes, even in the larva

About the latter end of the month of July, 1801, we were ſo for-
tunate as to capture a living ſpecimen of Scarabæus Agricola, on
the ſea coaſt of the county of Caermarthen, South Wales, thereby
aſcertaining, beyond a doubt, the exiſtence of this lovely inſect in
our own iſland. As an European ſpecies, it was well known be-
fore the time of Linnæus, and has been fince mentioned by vari-
ous continental authors, but no writer has hitherto ſpoken of it as
a native of this country, with the exception of Mr. Marſham, who,
on our authority, inſerted this ſpecies in his recent publication, En-
tomologia Britannica. The diſcovery of this inſect we may con-
ſider, therefore, of ſome moment to the Entomologiſt, if not a va-
luable acceffion to the Britiſh Faunu.
The beauty of this infect, when alive, was eminently ſtriking : the
thorax did not appear of that obſcure duſky hue obſervable in dead
fpecimens: both that part of the thorax, and the head, were of a rich
braffy-green colour, and ſlightly villous; and the dark margin, with
the band acroſs the wing-caſes, though black, were elegantly glofſed

We are much inclined to ſuſpect that this beautiful ſpecies of Gryl-
lus has not been delineated by any author, although it is one of the
Linnæan

PL A T E CCCXCI.
Linnæan inſects, and on that account more likely to have been noticed
than many others. Linnæus faw it in the muſeum of Leſk, from
whence he deſcribes it very accurately as an European inſect, in his
Syftema Naturæ, and it appears likewiſe in Muſeum Leſkeianum.
It is rather ſingular that Fabricius does not mention it.
This is probably a rare ſpecies on the continent, or at leaſt it would
appear fo from the filence of continental Entomologiſts reſpecting it.
As a Britiſh Inſect Gryllus flavipes is uncommon, having been hi-
therto found only by one or two collectors: they met with it in the vi-
cinity of London, and ſpeak of it as a ſpecies peculiar to marſhy places,
Found about the latter part of July.
Both ſexes are repreſented in our plate in their natural fize, and in
a flying poſition in order to diſplay their wings in the moſt pictureſque
point of view.

This ſpecies is found in Kent; it is very rare, and apparently

family that have the outer edge of the anterior wings emarginate,
and are known among Engliſh collectors by the trivial epithet of
Notch-wing Moths, but we do not recolleet to have obſerved the

upon willows. Fabricius and Gmelin ſay it lives in the trunks of
pines, and it is aſſerted to be highly injurious to the bark and timber
of thoſe trees in ſome countries. It is not one of our rareſt infects
in England, though far from common.

infect, upon which we may be allowed to ſpeak with more confidence
was lately communicated to us by Mr. Milton, engraver ; who caught
it as it reſted againſt a window in one of the upper apartments of his
houſe in Martlett's Court, Bow Street. It is not undeſerving of re-
mark to the early entomologiſt, that many of our moſt choice, and
rare infects, have occurred by accident in fimilar ſituations, and have
never perhaps been found in any other.

BOMBYX DROMEDARULUS. Small iron prominent. Haworth.
Lep. Brit. p. 101, n. 29.
Our Zebu Prominent, or, as the Aurelians call it, the ſmall Iron
Prominent, is extremely ſcarce. It was diſcovered in the larva ſtate
upon the oak : in the month of September it went into the ground
and became a pupa; the moth appeared in June following.
This infect differs from the Fabrician Bombyx Dromedarius, or
what is termed with us the Iron Prominent in ſeveral reſpects, though
at the firſt view it ſeems to bear a very ſtrong reſemblance to that
fpecies. We object to the trivial Engliſh name of ſmall Iron Pro-
minent, becauſe it is only applicable, in a partial degree, to the infect.
Our Zebu Prominent is certainly ſmaller than the infect known
in this country by the name of Iron Prominent, but this is not in-
variably the caſe. We have ſeen the male of the Iron Prominent of a
fize nearly, if not entirely, as diminutive as our ſpecimens of the Zebu
Prominent; and if we may rely on the accuracy of the figures of the
latter in the works of Ernſt, the Bombyx Dromedarius is not an inſect
of much ſuperior magnitude. We may truly infer from the figures
above mentioned, that the diminutive ſize of our Zebu is no crite-
rion of the ſpecies.
A decided difference in point of colour, and in ſome other parti-
culars, prevails between the two inſects. In Bombyx Dromedarius
the colour of the ſuperior wings is fuscous moſt delicately ſpeckled,
as it appears on clofe inſpection, with grey; the ſpots of a deep
rusty-iron colour, and the denticulated bands acroſs the wings whitiſh,
diſtinct

PLATE CCCXCVII.

diſtinct, and well relieved with fuſcous, and ferruginous. In our in-
fect the general colour is pale rufous ſlightly tinged with fuſcous in
the area of the wing, and varied towards the circumference with deep
fulvous: the denticulated bands acroſs are diſpoſed in a fimilar man-
ner to thoſe on the wings of Bombyx Dromedarius, but are of a yel-
lowiſh inſtead of whitiſh colour, and nearly obſolete. So far as our
own obſervation extends there is a difference alſo in the poſterior
wings: in our Bombyx Zebu thoſe wings are of a very pale fuſcous
with only a ſingle fainter band; in Bombyx Dromedarius the wings
are paler ftill; it has likewiſe a fimilar band, but which is rather
more denticulated, and being bounded both above and below with a
duſky band, the wings appear of a lighter colour next the poſterior
margin, and in the diſk of the wing; the latter part has alſo a fingle
ſhort transverse daſh of a duſky colour. A further difference is ob-
ſervable in the lower ſurface: the general tint in our B. Zebu is pale
ferruginous; in B. Dromedarius greyiſh, with the lower pair whitiſh,
and in both, the bands conſpicuous: the tip of the anterior pair in B.
Zebu teftaceo-fuſcous, in B. Dromedarius diſtinctly grey; and the
central ſpot in the lower wings of the latter fuſcous with a white
ſpeck in the center, but in B. Zebu plain teſtaceous without any
central mark.
In the “ Lepidoptera Britannica," Mr. Haworth deſcribes our
Bombyx Zebu as a ſpecies perfectly new, under the name of Bombyx
Dromedarulus. The ſpecimens from which his deſcription is taken
were thoſe in the cabinet of Mr. Drury, and which are now in our
poſſeſſion. This inſect was probably new to the Aurelians of this
country, but certainly not ſo to the continental entomologiſts, and thoſe
ſhould affuredly have been conſulted previouſly to its being deſcribed as a
nondeſcript inſect. In the works of Ernſt which this ingenious writer
has overlooked, will be found a figure both of the upper and lower fur-
face of the inſect from a larger ſpecimen than our own, and tolerably
expreffive; and with a defcription of the infect equally ſatisfactory.
It
appears from thence that the figures are copied by Ernſt from a
female ſpecimen in the noble collection of M. Gerning, of Frankfort,
B2
which

which contains beſides the male of the fame infect. Ernſt is evi.
dently in doubt whether to conſider it as a variety of the Bombyx
Dromedarius differing only from that inſect in the gradations of co-
lour, or as a diſtinct fpecies ; this he leaves for time and future re-
ſearches to determine. He obſerves, however, and it is a ſtrong ar-
gument in favour of its being diſtinct, that the males in M. Gerning's
collection, are of the ſame colour as the female he repreſents, and
the like circumſtance is exemplified in our ſpecimens *.

Apis variegata, though an inſect of a ſmall fize, is intereſting for
its rarity and elegance. This pretty ſpecies was firſt introduced to
obſervation, as a Britiſh Inſect, by Dr. Forſter, in his “ Nove
Species Infectorum Centuria prima.” Since his time, it ſeems to
have been mentioned only by Mr. Kirby, who, in his work entitled
Monographia Apum Anglia, obſerves, that he firſt ſaw this bee in
the cabinet of Mr. Drury, and afterwards found it, but by no means
common, in the autumn of two ſucceeding years, 1797 and 1798,
flying about funny banks ; it is remarkable, that after the time laſt
mentioned he never met with it.
This infect is liable to vary a little in colour in different individuals;
and it is further obſervable, that the Engliſh ſpecimens are ſmaller than
thoſe found in other parts of Europe.

PLATE CCCC. .
The Short-horned Stag-beetle is conſidered by almoſt every writer
either as the female, or as a variety of the Linnæan Lucanus Cervus.
This opinion is controverted by Mr. Marſham, who informs us in
his Entomologia Britannica, that he has taken the two ſexes of the
Cervus Lucanus together, in a ſtate that can admit of no doubt, that
they were really the two ſexes of that ſpecies; or, at leaſt, that there
are both males and females of the long-horned kind. At the ſame
time the evidence of Geoffroy is adduced to prove ſtill further, that
there are two diſtinct ſexes of the Short-horned Stag Beetle, the
infect hitherto believed by many to be the true female of Cervus
Lucanus.
The accuracy of the obſervations, upon which the aſſertions of
the above mentioned authors are founded, admits of little diſpute :
that the infects in queſtion have been found in the ſituation before
intimated we muſt readily believe; but as this might happen whether
they were in reality of the fame ſpecies or not; and as the opinion
generally ſupported by authors of the firſt reſpectability is in favour
of the Short-horned Stag Beetle being the female of the other
kind, it is proper we ſhould ſay a few words further reſpecting
them.
Roeſel, in his deſcription of the Cervus Lucanus, expreſsly tells
us, he has found the male of that inſect and the Short-horned Stag
together, and concludes that they are of the ſame ſpecies. To this
may be added the authority of Linnæus, who caught them in the
ſame ſituation, and naturally inferred, for the ſame reaſon, that they
were the two ſexes of an individual ſpecies. Neither are thoſe the
only writers, who mention the ſame circumſtance; and beſides thofe,
the fact is ſufficiently well known to many practical collectors, who
have obſerved them in the ſame ſtate, without in the leaſt ſuſpecting
that they were in reality the male and female of two diftinct, though
very analogous ſpecies.
When

PLATE CCCC.

a
When two infe&ts, however diffimilar in appearance, occur together
in this ſtate, it is a natural conclufion, that they are the two ſexes of
a
the ſame ſpecies. This is pretty generally, but not invariably the
fact. It requires only a very curſory attention, for example, to the
genera of Cicada and Coccinella to prove, that the moſt promiſcuous
intercourſe prevails between the two ſexes of the greater number of
ſpecies in thoſe extenfive genera ; and that the varieties ariſing from
this intercouſe of the ſexes are the ſource of inexplicable confuſion
to the entomologiſt; a ſpurious brood being by that means intro-
duced, that cannot eaſily be reduced to either of the parent
species. The fame applies, though certainly with a leſs degree
of latitude, to fome larger infe&ts, eſpecially in the Coleoptera
tribe. We muſt allow, that, though it is almoſt a concluſive evidence,
when we find inſects of the two ſexes coupled together, that they
are of the fame ſpecies; but it does not follow, as a matter of
certainty, that they are ſuch : the concluſion is ſpecious, and in
general correct, but we cannot always depend on it. Even ſo it
appears with regard to the Long-horned and Short-horned Stag
Beetles : when we find, as is not unfrequently the caſe, thoſe two
inſects connected together, we conclude, they are the true male
and female of the fame ſpecies; and probably without further ex-
amination aſſent to the popular notion, that the horned kind is the
male, and the hornleſs fort the female, whereas perhaps the very
reverſe might with a flight attention be ſometimes diſcovered ; we
might detect the horned female with the hornleſs male. It is a
little remarkable we muſt indeed confefs, in admitting that there
are males and females of both kinds, that thoſe rovers ſhould ſo rarely
occur in connection with the inſects, which nature has ordained as
their reſpective mates.
It has been previouſly remarked, that we may reſt aſſured at leaſt,
that there are males as well as females both of the Short and the
Long-horned Stag Beetles. Geoffroy is believed to have been the
firſt writer, who diſcovered the error of confounding the former with
the female of the latter : he deſcribes the Short-horned kind under
the

16
PLATE CCCC.
the name of La Grande Biche, and tells us he has frequently ſeen
both ſexes of this inſect coupled together*. He obſerves, however,
that he has never ſeen the two ſexes of the long-horned kind in the
fame ſtate, a circumſtance that in our mind rather weakens than con-
firms the ſtrength of his former remark. Neither does Geoffroy take
notice of any difference of appearance between the male and female
of his Grand Biche, which leaves us in further doubt. If, notwith-
ſtanding, we can rely upon this writer, one diſputed fact may be col.
lected from the reſult of his remarks, namely, that there are both
males and females of the Short-horned Stag Beetle.
This point attained, our attention is next directed to diſcover the
true female of Cervus Lucanus; and this, if we are not miſtaken, has
been noticed only by Mr. Marſham. This gentleman, as it
appears
from the Entomologia Britannica, was ſo fortunate as to take the
two ſexes together, ſome years ago. The female is deſcribed as
being in no reſpect different from the male, except in ſize, which
is ſmaller; the horns are as large in proportion, they are beſet with
about ſeven nearly equal and approximate teeth, and have not one
larger and remote from the reſt. The diſcovery of the female of
the Lucanus Cervus was a defirable circumſtance; not merely as
being the means of aſcertaining the hiſtory of that infect, but as
adding a further confirmation to the obſervations of Geoffroy, with
regard to the Short-horned Stag, which they ſeem to us to requireť.
We have no doubt, that Geoffroy diſcovered both ſexes of the Grande
Biche, but it would have been more ſatisfactory had he been
acquainted with the true female of the Cervus Lucanus. We need

PLATE CCCCVI.
During one of our ſummer excurſions through the northern parts
of the principality of Wales, we diſcovered by accident a folitary
fpecimen of Phalæna Chi, reſting among the lichens that encruſt the
ſide of that venerable memorial of Druidical antiquity, the larger
Cromlech, at Plas Newydd in the iſle of Angleſea. We obſerved it
in a perfectly quieſcent ſtate, apparently juſt as it had emerged from
the in the open day time. This was on the 17th day of Auguſt :
we conceive it requiſite to mention this preciſely, as the time of its
appearance in the winged ſtate has been ſtated by one writer to be
July inſtead of Auguſt, and that on the authority of the individual
fpecimen above mentioned *.

An erroneous reference among the Fabrician fynonyms of Phalæna
Chi, to the work of Albin (Plate 83), had long ſince induced the
Engliſh collectors to conſider the Phalana Chi as a native of this
country; but under this impreſſion they miſtook a very different inſect
for the Chi of Linnæus. Indeed the inſect figured in Plate 83 of the
work of Albin is no other than the common Sycamore Moth (Phal.
Aceris of Brit. Inf.). It is therefore clear, this incautious reference
has been productive of conſiderable miſunderſtanding, and that the
Phalana Chi, though really Britiſh, was not introduced with propriety
as ſuch, till we diſcovered it in Angleſea. We ſhould however add,
that among a number of inſects found in Yorkſhire, and communicated
for our inſpection by Mr. Rippon, of York, we found an inſect very
analogous, and apparently a variety of the ſame ſpecies, though of a
darker colour than our Cambrian ſpecimen, which in this reſpect
accords extremely well with the Linnæan expreſſion, “ alis canis.”
It ſhould be remarked, that Geoffroy, who deſcribes Phalana Chi,
as an inſect by no means uncommon in France, tells us, it varies
much in fize, and ſpeaks of varieties that are reddiſh, and others

ſerves, that the female is of a more cinereous colour than the male,
but has the ſame kind of ſpots on the wings.
Our figure of the larva is taken from a well-preſerved fpecimen
lately obtained by us from Germany as the larva of this ſpecies,
and which agrees fo exactly with the Linnæan deſcription, and the

ſuch. The

This ſpecies bears fome reſemblance to the female of Libellula
Depreffat, in ſize and general appearance; but on the fighteſt in-
ſpection will be found entirely diſtinct. The abdomen is leſs depreſſed
on the back and narrower, and being beſides fomewhat compreſſed at
the ſides, aſſumes a much more linear form in the middle than Libellula
Depreſſa. The wings are totally different, and afford an excellent
characteriſtic by which the ſpecies may be diſtinguiſhed. Each of thoſe
wings are marked on the anterior or coftal rib, with two ſmall brown
ſpots, the one of which is ſituated near the apex, as in moſt of the tribe;
the other about the middle on the anterior part of each wing: all the
wings are yellowiſh at the baſe, and in the poſterior pair, that part is
diſtinguiſhed further by having a large brown ſpot contiguous to the

very being, it is conſtantly found moſt abundantly in bakehouſes,
kitchen chimnies, and other places where the greateſt heats prevail.
Beſides the inacceſſibility of its lurking places in general, nothing has

The Cricket is indeed an animal of inoffenſive manners; it is trou-
bleſome only from the inceffancy of its chirping, which continues
without intermiſſion night and day. Some think its note louder
before rain than at any other time; a circumſtance aſſerted both by
Linnæus and Fabricius. Geoffroy ſays, this noiſe is occaſioned by
the friction of its thorax againſt the head and wing-caſes. According
to Poda, the Cricket deſerts houſes infeſted with the cock roach, and
is deſtroyed by pills of arſenic and the freſh root of the daucus mixed

too intereſting to be omitted. We cannot pretend to determine on
what authority it was introduced into that collection, neither are
we inclined to pledge our opinion in favour of its being a genuine
Britiſh Infect; we conſider only that it might have been found alive
in England, and under this idea may be noticed with propriety in the
preſent work. Mr. Kirby did not conſider it as an Engliſh Inſect, or
he would have introduced it into his Apun Angliæ. This inſect, like
Apis Iricolor, inſerted as Britiſh in Mr. Kirby's work on the authority
of a ſpecimen in Dr. Latham's collection, is known as a native of the
Weſt Indies, and may poſſibly, as well as that inſect, have been
brought into England with ſome Weſt Indian cargoes, and been
afterwards diſcovered by accident at large in the country. Many
well authenticated inſtances of this kind have occurred within our
own knowledge. Aware of this, we cannot conſiſtently admit an
extra European inſect as an aborigine, but as an occaſional wan-
derer from the tropic regions found alive in this country; and which,
from its habits of life, might even become the origin of a future
Britifh fpecies.
We ſhould rather ſuſpect from the appearance of the infect, that
it has been introduced in ſome piece of timber imported from the
American iſlands, for it is of the ſame natural family as the Apis
Centuncularis, or Carpenter Bee, which is well known to undergo
its various transformations in centunculi, or ſmall cells formed of
leaves, and depoſited in large hollow cavities bored through the
timber by the parent female: this is not in the leaſt unlikely, as this
tribe of inſects remain for a conſiderable period of time in the egg,
larva, and pupa ſtate, that the infect might have been depoſited in
the egg ſtate in the Weſt Indies, and was not liberated from its con-
finement till the timber, in which it was concealed, arrived in England.
The inſect is ſhewn of its natural fize in the annexed plate.

This ſpecies ſeems to be the infect deſcribed by Fabricius, as above

Fabricius deſcribes three fpecies of the genus Tillus in his

which are found in Europe, and the two firſt in this country. To
theſe Mr. Marſham adds two other Britiſh ſpecies, æneus and virens;
including at the ſame time, as a fifth ſpecies, the Clerus unifaſciatus
of Fabricius. Thus it appears, we poſſeſs five deſcribed ſpecies of
this genus in Britain, neither of which agreeing with our preſent
infect, we preſume to offer it as a fixth and new ſpecies.
Beſides the five fpecies of Tillus above mentioned, the late
Fabrician work, Supplem. Ent. Syft. contains two more ſpecies,
damicornis, a native of America, and Weberi, a German infe&t.
Neither of thoſe, however, correſpond with our inſects; and we have

PLATE CCCCXV.
Libellula Ænea has been recently obſerved in ſwampy grounds in
the neighbourhood of Hampſtead. It is recorded as a Britiſh Inſect
by Ray; but fince his time appears to have become very ſcarce
till lately, when a ſmall number of them were obſerved in the above-
mentioned fituation. We poffefs two varieties taken in this place,
in the fummer of 1805, which differ in ſome flight particulars only.
Both inſects have the eyes of a brown colour, and the thorax of
a brilliant
green with a braffy luftre: the principal difference
confifts in the colour of the wings, which in one ſpecimen are hyaline,
while on the contrary the wings of the other are tinged with
teſtaceous yellow. This yellow-winged variety is further diſtinguiſhed
by having the body gloſſed with fine golden purple; in the other, the
body is of a braffy green colour, with only a ſlight inclination to
reddiſh brown *. Both inſects are figured in the annexed plate in
their natural fize.
This ſpecies is not peculiar to England. Linnæus deſcribes it as a
native of Sweden ; from Geoffroy we learn, that it is a native of
France; and from Roeſel, as being found in Germany.
* An indifferent figure of a ſpecies of Libellula, much reſembling this, occurs in the

Among the Engliſh Scarabæi in the cabinet of the late Mr. Green,

70
PLATE CCCCXVIII.
of the genus Scarabæus in the Linnæan arrangement; Cetonia of
Fabricius. We are totally unacquainted with its hiſtory, and, be-
lieving it to be unnoticed by any former writer, have named it after
its former poffeffor, S. Greenii.
It ſhould be particularly obſerved, that this inſect approaches very
cloſely to the Cetonia Variegata of Olivier and Fabricius, which is a
native of Tranquebar. We ſhall not preſume to ſay, that it may not
be a variety of that variable ſpecies; but we certainly think it is not,
if the general deſcription the works of Olivier afford us be correct.
The upper ſurface of our inſect nearly correſponds with his figure
and deſcription; the principal difference conſiſts in the number and
diſpoſition of the white ſpots on the lower ſurface of the abdomen,
and thoſe are ſtrikingly diſſimilar. Olivier deſcribes his ſpecies as
having two rows or lines of white dots on each fide, while in our
infect there is only one on each ſide; and the ſingle row of white
dots down the center in our inſect does not agree exactly with
Cetonia Variegata. We have previouſly ſtated, that the upper
furface
of the two inſects are ſimilar, but we ſhould further add, that they
are not perfectly ſo, as Olivier's infect has the poſterior border of the
thorax white; and in our infect, that part differs in no reſpect from
the reſt of the thorax in point of colour, except the ſpots, which are
white and impreſſed.--Our fynonyms refer to the figure of an Eu-
ropean fpecies of Scarabæus in the works of Schaeffer, that ſeems to
bear a general reſemblance to our infect; yet we muſt confeſs, we
can only entertain a very remote idea of its being intended for our
infect; the indifference of the figure precludes the poſſibility of de-
termining this circumſtance with accuracy: it is about the ſame fize,
of a blackiſh colour and ſpotted with white; but there is alſo an
appearance in the figure of the inſect being hairy, and if that be
correct, it cannot be the ſame as our infect.
The ſmalleſt figure denotes the natural ſize of this infect. The
two other figures repreſent the upper and lower ſurfaces of the infect

neſs we are indebted for the individual example at this time in our

Papilio (Sat.) Blandina of the Fabrician fyftem *. This author
likewiſe deſcribes another Papilio, nearly allied to the above, under
the ſpecific name of Ligea. This latter is, however, fufficiently
diftinguiſhed by having fo'ır ocellate black ſpots in the rufous band
on the upper wings inſtead of three, as in P. Blandina. Fabricius,
in his general deſcription, ſpeaks of the near affinity his P. Blandina
bears to P. Ligea, but obſerves that P. Ligea has a white ſpot at the
end of the band on the underſide of the poſterior wings, which the
other has not. Affinis P. Ligea. differt tamen alis pofticis vix

Ligea was diſcovered by Major Walker in the iſle of Arran at the
fame time as P. Blandina, and will ſhortly appear in the preſent
workt:
* Fabricius deſcribes two of the Papiliones under the ſpecific name of Blandina, but
which cannot eaſily be confounded, as one of them are of the Pap. Nymphales tribe, and
the other belongs in his arrangement to the Satyri.-P. N. Blandina is an Eaſt Indian
fpecies, and is fully noticed in our illuſtration of Exotic Entomology.
-
+ Figures of both the above-mentioned inſects have appeared in a late publication,
the “ Britiſh Miſcellany," one in Plate 2, the other in Plate 7. Unfortunately, how.
ever, the Editor has entirely miſconceived the Fabrician authorities, and reverſed the two
names afligned them by that author. The Fabrician Papilio Blandina is by that means
erroneoully named Ligea, and, vice verſa, the Fabrician P. Ligea, called Blandina.-
There are, beſides, a few errors in the figures with regard to the form, ſituation, and
number of the ocellate ſpots. Thoſe relating to the P. Ligea will be hereafter noticed.
In our P. Blandina (Ligea Brit. Miſc.) the macular band on the underſide of the pofterior
wings appears to have only two ſmall dots, while in the inſect there are no leſs than fix,
the three lower of which has a white dot in the center.-We were at firſt inclined to ſuſpect,
that the ſpecimen in the cabinet of Mr. M Leay, from which the drawing of that inſect
was taken, might have been in ſome meaſure injured, and the ſpots obliterated, or that
his infect varied from that we poſleſs; we have, however, ſince compared them, in order

As there is no ſpecies of the family to which this ſpider belongs
among thoſe already deſcribed by Linnæus, Fabricius; or any other
entomological author within our knowledge, that correſponds with
our preſent infect, we conſider it as a new ſpecies.

Aranea pugnax : Roſs. Fn. Etr. 2. 135. 980?
This infect agrees very nearly with the Aranea trilineata * of
Fabricius, and does not appear very remote from the Linnæan de-
ſcription of Aranea paluſtris t. The principal difference conſiſts in
the poſition of the eyes, which conſtitutes an effential characteriſtic
mark of the ſeveral families into which the Aranea genus is divided;
and in this particular they are very diſtinct. Admitting therefore, that
Linnæus and Fabricius are correct in deſcribing the ſituation of the
eyes in the two inſects above-mentioned, we muſt conſider the preſent
inſect as a ſpecies diſtinct from either, notwithſtanding their fimilarity
in other reſpects. It does not certainly agree with the deſcription of
* Aranea Trilineata: fuſca thoracis margine linea dorſali margineque ovate cinereis.

Gmelin conſiders it as the ſame inſect, but Fabricius deſcribes it as a
diſtinct fpecies, diſtinguiſhing the M. Subcoleoptrata by the black
thorax, and cinereous wings with two brown flexuous ſtripes; and
the M. Hemiptera (our preſent ſpecies) by the thorax being fur-
rounded by a ferruginous border, and the cinereous wings varied with
yellowiſh.–Fabricius has ſince conſtituted a new genus of Dipterous
inſects, under the name of THEREVA, in which both theſe ſpecies of
Muſcæ are included*.
This inſect is very uncommon in England.

This fine and noble ſpecies of Libellula appears to be unknown
to any of the entomological writers we are acquainted with. The
ſpecimen from which our figure in the annexed plate is taken, was
diſcovered in Yorkſhire ſome years ago by Mr. Bolton, and commu-
nicated to Mr. Drury, in whoſe cabinet it has remained unnoticed
till the preſent time. We believe this ſpecimen to be unique, or at
leaſt we have never ſeen an other. It is a beautiful, large, and in-
tereſting ſpecies, and poffefſes characters ſo extremely different from
any of the known ſpecies of its genus, that it cannot eaſily be miſ-
taken. We name it Boltonii, in compliment to Mr. Bolton, the
gentleman to whom we are indebted for its diſcovery.

Fabricius appears to be the only writer who has noticed this ele-
gant little ſpecies of Cimex : he deſcribes it as an Engliſh Infect,
without referring to any cabinet.
This inſect is of a ſmall ſize, as ſhewn by the central figure in the
annexed plate. The upper ſurface is of a greyiſh colour, tinged in
the ſhades with green; the head, two confluent ſpots at the anterior
part of the thorax, and triangular ſpot at the baſe of the fcutel, brafly

tured. Beneath, the prevailing colour is braſſy blackiſh purple, with
the margin of the abdomen whitiſh, and marked with a row of
black dots: legs yellowiſh, with a black dot on the thighs. This, we
believe, is a very rare ſpecies.

PLATE CCCCXXXII.
Though the Field Cricket inhabits every country of Europe, it is
obſerved to be more abundant in the ſouthern parts than elſewhere.
Its haunts are ſhady places not too much expoſed to moiſture. The
noiſy chirpings of this fingularly formed little creature is oftentimes
heard ifſuing from among the buſhes, and underwood, on the ſkirts
of foreſts; and in the fields, towards the approach of twilight, par-
ticularly when the weather is warm and the air ſerene; but the infect
itſelf is very feldom ſeen. It is remarkably timid, and ſcarcely ever
ventures from its lurking place among the buſhes, till the darkneſs of
the night emboldens it to ramble out in queſt of food.--Its chirping
noiſe does not continue all the year; it commences in May, and
ceaſes about the end of autumn. We imagine it almoft fuperfluous to
add, that the Field Cricket poſſeſſes this faculty of emitting a chirping
note in common with many inſects both of this, and other analogous
tribes.
