jean, however, has induded in this genus, Ceramhyx minutus 

 [Callidium pygmcEum F), which I suspect belongs to another 

 group. 



The two insects figured in the plate (which are perfectly 

 new to Britain) having been found on the same spot, I have 

 considered them as the sexes, although Fabricius and Panzer 

 have described them as distinct species, calling the male Sa- 

 j)erda brunnea, and the female S. feri'uginea ; and Linnaeus 

 having first described the latter under the name of C. cantha- 

 rhms, his specific name has here been restored. 



Mr. Joseph Sparshall informs me that a male and female of 

 our insect were taken by Mr. Henry Doubleday in a garden at 

 Great Coggeshall, Essex, the 15th of July 1823, resting upon 

 the leaves of an apple-tree : another male was found upon a 

 plant close to the same tree the 10th of August in the follow- 

 ing year ; and Mr. Blunt captured a female last year about 

 the end of July, which was sticking to the bark of an aspen- 

 tree near Wanstead House, Essex. 



Pyrus wa/ws (Crab-tree) accompanies the insects; the upper 

 figure representing the female, the lower one the male.
