_ Linneus placed this Infect among the CHRYSOMELA, under the 
| fpecific name Adinuta; but Degeer configned it to the Dyriscus 
"genus, and gave it the name Ruficollis : As a Dyrtiscus it alfo ap- 
peared in the Sy/tema Natura ; and Fabricius, as well as other late | 
| Entomologifts, have determined it to that genus, either calling it — 
| Minutus, or after Degeer, Rujficollis. 
At Fig. I, is reprefented its appearance when magnified, and at
