thus Hoepftieri, forming the second section, each of 

 them forming the characteristic type of the quarter 

 of the globe to which they belong.

 insect has been regarded only as a variety of Cet. 

 Chinensis Fab. ; having received it lately from Dar- 

 pouillie, and examined it thoroughly, I give it as a 

 distinct species. The species of Agestrata named 

 Splendens by Messrs. Percheron and Gory, has long 

 been in the Linnean cabinet, where it is unnamed.

Sp. 22. Holosericea, now a Gymnetis. The Ori-

 sub-genus, they are few in number compared with
