The following characters are constant through 

 all the varieties of this Proteus species, namely the 

 short horn upon the lip, which is easily seen under 

 a common magnifier, if the head be viewed from 

 one side, its ferruginous mouth and antennae, its 

 yellow collar, tubercles, squamulae, and contiguous 

 spots on the scutellum ; and the ferruginous fas- 

 cia of the first dorsal segment of the abdomen, 

 which includes, and as it were insulates, two irre- 

 gular yellow spots. When this insect is first taken 

 it emits a very agreeable scent.
