tit St. Fargeau justly doubted having the Linnean 
Vespa campestris when he described this insect ; the name 
of campestris, consequently, which he applied to it, must be 
changed, that insect being merely a variety of the Gorytes 
mystaceus. I have, therefore, called it after him, as a testi- 
mony of respect for his exertions in the order, and because 
{ could not give it one characteristic without adding to the 
confusion of the fasciati and cincti. This and the preced- 
ing are the only species in the genus I am acquainted 
with that have the antennz in both sexes entirely black. 
It is not uncommon on Umbellifere, at Highgate and 
Battersea, in July. I have captured the ¢ conveying the 
larva of Aphrophora spumaria, which thus further contra- 
dicts St. Fargeau’s theory, as from habit it would be a 
true parasite.
