PLATE CVI. 



By moft praftical Entomologifts they have been confidered as dif- 

 tincSt fpecies, and they may be fuch ; but as we are unwilling to create 

 confufion by extending the number of fpecies, we prefer admitting 

 them as varieties under the Fabrician name Emargana. — We are more 

 readily inclined to adopt this meafure, as we have always found them 

 at the fame time of the year, in the fame parts of the woods, and 

 generally fporting together, which is not commonly obferved of Infedls 

 that are not either varieties or differ only in fex. 



They are rarely met with ; our fpecimens were taken in June at 

 Dartford. — They have been taken together at Caen- Wood, Hamp- 

 ftead. 



They have not been defcribed by Linnaeus ; but were known among 

 Colleclors by the (now obfolete) name Excavana. 



At Fig. 5. is Ihewn one of the varieties ; the third is much yellower 

 but marked with fimilar reticulated ilrokes^ and exactly correfponds 

 in fize and form with this figure.
