(52 PLATE CCCCXCI. 



Both fexes of this curious beetle are reprefented in the annexed 

 plate, the male in the attitude of crawling on the ground, the female 

 in the act of flight. The female is rather larger than the male, and 

 has the antennae of a more fetaceous form. The antennae of the other 

 fex are remarkable for their magnitude, and contribute very materially 

 to the interesting appearance of the infect. 



Cerambyx Coriarius is the moft confpicuous infe6t, in point of fize, 

 among the Britifh cerambyces, and is always confidered as a fcarce 

 and valuable fpecies. It is found chiefly in decayed woodj, more 

 efpecially in the trunks of rotten elms.
