Linneus never defcribed this Infect, or he would have placed it in 
the Cerambyx genus. Fabricius has defcribed it in his Species In- 
feGtorum under the fpecific name Bifa/ciatum; but he has feparated it 
- from the Linnzan genus, and given it the new generic title Rhagium : 
the Cerambyx Inquifitor, C. Curfor and C. Noétis of Linnzus, our 
_ prefent fpecies, and R. Ornatum, are the only sige Fabricius has 
included i in the new genus Rhagium. 
The Rhagium Bifafciatum is rare in this country ; it is more fre+ 
* quent in France and Germany. It is generally found in putrid flefh.
