PLAT WH Cecxy. 59 
As we have all the fpecies defcribed by thofe authors before us, 
we fhall endeavour io reftore them to order, and that by retaining 
the former defcriptions of Fabricius, changing the names, and di- 
viding the fynonyms, for both are fufficiently characteriftic ; that 
with marginal fpots is figured by Roefel, Schzffer and Scopoli, and 
the immaculated or clear-winged kind by Geoffroy and Sulzer. The 
firtt we deem the true R, Ophiopfis, and the latter as a diftin@ infea, 
which may be called the Raphidia Immaculata with propriety. 
Both fpecies of this fingular creature are extremely rare. Geoffroy, 
{peaking of the unfpotted kind, fays he never found it but twice, 
and then in woods *. The larva is unknown ; in the pupa ftate it 
is furnifhed with legs, and runs faft.
