This is altogether a beautiful insect ; but the singular structure of the antenna; 

 deserves particular notice : it is entirely brown except the first articulation, which is 

 black ; the third has a large verticillated tuft of black hair at the summit ; at the base of 

 this articulation it has another tuft, but smaller; and a similar tuft, but still smaller, is 

 situated on the two following articulations.

Donovan states that among some Chinese drawings of the late Mr. Bradshaw, he 

 observed one on which the metamorphosis of this insect was delineated. Tlie larva was 

 partly concealed in the hollow of a piece of decayed wood ; it was of a whitish colour, 

 witli the head and tail black, as described by Fabricius. The true Cerambyx farinosus 

 of Linnaeus, with which this insect was confounded by Donovan, is an inhabitant of 

 South America.
