The natural fize of this Infecl is given at Fig. I. in the annexed 

 plate. It is far inferior in beauty to either Chryfis ignita or bidentata, 

 figured in the early part of this work ; but as the genus is very 

 limited, we have a given figure of this fpecies. It is very abundant 

 on all k nds of fruit-trees in the fummer.
