Dr. Leacn’s further Observations on the Genus Melóe. 247 
of Meyer, who has merely copied Rossi's description, may re- 
main. Meyer considers it possible that this may be a variety of 
his M. Brunsvicensis, which he considers to be the same with 
Panzer's M. punctata, x. tab. 16. |

The only specimen of this insect I have had an opportunity of 
examining, occurred in the extensive and valuable collection of 
my friend Mr. MacLeay, who in this, as on every other occasion, 
has most liberally permitted me to take away and retain as long 
as might be necessary any of his insects. ‘The antenne are 
mutilated, but from its general habit I have little doubt of its 
situation in the present section being correct.
