6 PLATE CCCLXII- 



This appears on the credit of moil writers to be a rare infecl. 

 Our fpecimen was taken in Kent. It is faid to inhabit the Pine, Fi- 

 nns fylvestrh. 



We mould in particular obferve that the prevailing or ground co- 

 lour f the wing-cafes and thorax in our fpecimen is not red as the 

 fpecies is ufually defcribed, but rather of a light or teftaceous brown, 

 at the fame time that its vai legations of white marks and fpots agree 

 with the Linnasan defcription of the infect. 



The fmaller infect at Figure I. is of the natural fize.
