 Over the mouth. Thorax black, fhining, ' convex, and covered with

 one fmall at the bafe near the otiter margin, the other larger near the

We are of opinion that the three InfecSls in the annexed plate will 

 be new to moft of our Engliili C.olleftorSj notwithilanding they are 

 to be found in this country. 



As it would be very difScult, if not impoffible, to give a juft re- 

 prefentation of thefe minute Inlefts in the natural fize, we have pre- 

 ferred giving the magnified appearance; the outlines which accom- 

 pany each, and bear the fam^e numbers, denote the true fize of the 

 original fpecimens.

This fpecies is defcribed by Linnaus^ Fabrtchis^ and other authors-, 

 and has been figured by Olivier and Jablonfky^ being frequently met 

 with in foreign cabinets. It is the fmalleft of this gerius. 



Olivier defcribes this ir.fecl: as having the antenns and feet red \ but 

 it is not fo in our fpecimen.
