 This insect is beyond a doubt j4. fragrans of 

 Professor Pallas, which Fabricias, for what reason 

 I cannot conjecture, has called A.pratorum, giving 

 the name of A. arhustorum to that which he mis- 

 took for the Linnean A. pratorum. Pallas says, 

 " faeminae odore roseo flagrantissimae." I have 

 never met with a female or neuter; but the male, 

 which with us is now and then to be met with in 

 the autumn, has the same agreeable scent.
