apice globoso lucentibus." From this specimen the accom- 
panying sketch was taken. I may be here allowed to correct 
the reference to the parts of fig. 3. in the plate accompanying 
Afzelius's paper, in which b. represents the ball of the pedicle 
of the antennz, and not the hook of the clava, which is repre- 
sented by fig. d, and not, as stated in the description of the 
plate, by fig. 5.
