Teneeuio Morlifagus, a fpecies of the Pimelia, (which 

 fee,) in the Gmelinian edition of the Linnxan fyftem, thus 

 delcribed by Dr. Shaw. It is a coal-black in("e6t, meafuf- 

 ing about an inch in length, of rather flow motion, and dif- 

 tinguiftied by the remarkably pointed appearance of the 

 wing-ftieaths, which at their extremities project a little 

 beyond the abdomen ; they are alio perfeftly connate or 

 undivided, forming a complete covering to tiie body, and 

 being carried over the fides to fome dillance beneath, and 

 the infeft is totally deftitute of real or under wings. It 

 is ulually found in dark negled^ed places, beneath boards, 

 in cellars, &c. and if handled, efpecially if crulhed, dif- 

 fules a very unpleafant fmell.

TENEDOS, in Geography, an iftand of the Grecian 

 Archipelago, near the coaft of Afia, and very near the 

 Troade. This ifiand has been fuccelTively celebrated by 

 Homer and Virgil. The latter thus dcfcribcs it : 



" Eft in confpeftu Tenedos, notilTima fama 



Infula, dives opuni, Priami dum regna manebant ; 

 Nunc tantum finus et ftatio malefida carinis." 



According to Diodorus Siculus, it had anciently been 

 called Leucophris; but when Tenes or Tennes built a town 

 upon it, he called it Tenedos. Bochart, however, derives 

 its name from the Phoenician word Tin-edum, red clay, 

 which was found here, and ufed for making e.irthen-warc. 

 Paufanias fays, that this ifland, which was fituated within 

 light of the city of Troy, became miferable alter the cap«- 

 ture of that city, and was obliged to furrender to its neigh- 

 bours, who had built Alexandria upon the ruins of Troy. 

 It was one of the firft conquefts of the Perfiaiis, who made 

 themfelves mafters of it, after having defeated the lonians 

 .at the ifle of Lada. It took part with the Athenians 

 againft the Lacedaemonians, when an admiral of the latter 

 people ravaged it, and drew from it contributions. The 

 Romans had pofleftion of it, and Verres pillaged the temple, 

 and carried away the ftatue of Tennes, the fuppofed founder 

 of the town. Strabo reprefents it as 24 (tadia in circum- 

 ference, and places it at the diftance of 1 1 ftadia from the 

 continent; but Pliny llatcs this diftance to be 12 milee. 

 Olivier computes the diftance to be nearly 3000 toifes : and 

 he fays, that the town ie at the diftauce of about five Icagui's
