374 Mr. Westwood on Embia, a Geniis of Insects, 8^c. 



POSTSCRIPT. 



Since tlie above was written, I have observed two apparently distinct specie;* 

 of this genus imbedded in gum copal, or anime, in the fine collection of 

 Mr. Strong of Brook Green. One of these, which from its size may probably 

 be the Emb'ia Savignii, seemed, fi-om the imperfect view only which I could 

 obtain of it, to possess 14 joints in the antennjE ; the other was of a larger 

 size, with slightly stained wings, and 24 joints in the antennae. From infor- 

 mation received from Mr. David Don, it is not improbable that these gum 

 insects are inhabitants of the eastern coast of Africa. 



Still more recently I have observed a very small individual in an apteron.s 

 state, of a dark brown colour with a fulvous head, in a collection made by 

 Robert Templeton, Esq., R.A. in the Island of Mauritius. It is probably the 

 larva of another and distinct species.
