This, I take to be the insect which Fabricius 

 looked upon as^. hortorum of Linneus. The tuft 

 of yellow hairs, which is observable on each side of 

 the first dorsal segment of the abdomen, is some- 

 times black, which brings this species very near to 

 ji. terrestris. In that, however, the whole of this 

 segment is hairy, and not the sides only ; its ab- 

 domen is also proportionably longer, and the sco- 

 pulae are of a different colour ; not to mention, 

 that in one, the exterior palpi are acute, and in the 

 other, truncate. I have not yet met with the fe- 

 male of this species, but GeofFroy knew it.
