Fabricius as well as Linnzus confiders the number of feet as an 
effential part of the fpecific chara@ter throughout this genus. Both are 
certainly miftaken in affigning thirty feet to each fide of this creature. 
Degeer mentions thirty-one; and in an unmutilated fpecimen we 
have, two legs may be perceived at every joint except thofe neareft 
the head. The body is flat, the fhields flightly fcabrous, and the 
antennz clavated, the laft we deem more characteriftic than the 
number of the feet. : 
This very curious creature is local, being rare in moft places.
