 I am not certain whether the mucro observable on the first 

 joint of the anterior apophyses of the male of A. Willughhiella, 

 exists in A. lagopoda or not ; when the above description was 

 drawn out, I had not observed it in the former, therefore it is 

 very probable I might overlook it in the latter. 



The insect which Schrank (a) and Panzer {h) have given 

 as A. lagopoda is ditFerent from it, and likewise from A. Wil- 

 lughhiella, but it appears to agree with an unlabelled specimen 

 in the Linnean cabinet, which is placed with the former as a 

 variety, but which is much smaller, not so hairy, with poste- 

 rior tibiae proportionably less. The figures of Sulzer (c) and 

 Christius [d) have no relation whatever to any of these males. 

 I possess a foreign specimen of one, given me by the ingenious 

 Mr. Sowerby, which exhibits the same peculiar structure of 

 the anterior tarsus, and is extremely distinct from all the
