52 PLATE CXXVIL 
Norwood, on, or about the 8th of June, 1794+ As we know the 
precife {pot where it was taken, we fhall attend to it particularly 
next feafon, and the earlieft intimation of fuccefs, fhall be given 
through the medium of a future number. 
When we confider how much the ftudy of coleopterous Infeéts has 
been neglected in this country, even by thofe who have purfued 
with unremitting perfeverance almoft every other branch of Ento- 
mology, we cannot be much aftonifhed that fuch-a minute Infec& as 
the Bupreftis Salicis fhould have efcaped notice ; add to this, we can 
{carcely doubt that it is very rare in this country, and probably live, 
concealed in the crevices of the tree, or under the rotten part of the 
bark. The number of new Infeéts that have been difcovered in this 
country within a few years *, renders it not improbable, that future 
Englith Entomologifts, by extending their enquiries, may find many 
more of the fpecies that are now met with ia the northern, and per- 
haps even fouthern parts of Europe. 
Fig. I, natural fize. Fig. 2, its magnified appearance; 
* Among the rarities met with laft fummer, we may particularly mention the Pha» 
tena Delphinii, Peafe Blofom Moth. This very beautiful Infect was taken by a Gentle- 
man at Chelfea; it was never afcertained before to be an Englf@.gnlea.
