IV. TIPHTIA. 41 
hitherto been separated as two species, but Messrs. New- 
man and Davis have repeatedly taken them zn copula, which, 
together with their conformity of sculpture, has enabled me 
to unite them as one species. The varieties of the ¢ with 
black legs were taken by Dr. Leach, I believe, in Devonshire, 
and the only specimens of this variety I am acquainted with 
are in the British Museum. Mr. Walker possesses in his 
cabinet a specimen of the ¢ with red legs, taken by himself 
in the South of France, which proves that it thus occurs.

only one I can find offering any sensible difference to the 
T. femorata in the London cabinets, and the metathorax 
presenting it at once. It appears very rare, for the only 
specimen [| have seen is in the British Museum, and I be- 
lieve was taken by Dr. Leach in Devonshire. I have 
placed a note of interrogation before all the synonymes, as 
no Entomologist has before detected the true specific dis- 
tinction of this genus, all previous describers having made 
the differences contingent upon size, colour, and pubescence, 
consequently their true place may be under the 7. femorata, 
which would make this a new species; but I prefer retain- 
ing Fabricius’ name as a doubt exists, although his specific
