ACROCERA GLOBULA. Meigan. 

 Acrocera gibbosa. Sam. 



Pale yellow : head small, eyes large, forming 

 nearly the whole of the head : antennae with four or 

 five joints, the first nearly globose, second, third and 

 fourth filiform and terminated by a seta of twice the 

 length of the basal joints. Thorax nearly globular, 

 downy on the back : scutellum large and yellow : 

 the scales at the base of the wings beneath large and 

 inflated like bladders : abdomen globose, convex 

 with the last joint pointed, the base black and 

 lobated : legs yellow. 



This rare and curious insect was taken many years 

 since by our late and much-respected friend, Thomas 

 Carpenter, Esq. of Tottenham ; we believe he took it 

 in the lanes near his residence. Our specimen has 

 unfortunately lost the antennae ; but we have des- 

 cribed it from a figure given by Meigan.
