An infe&t of more ftriking afpe&t, notwithftanding the inferiority 
of its fize, can fcarcely prefent itfelf. It appears to be extremely 
rare; indeed, we have not feen it in any other cabinet than that of 
the late Mr. Drury, now in our own poffeflion; nor does it feem to 
be defcribed by any author; we prefume, therefore, it may be new 
to Entomologifts in general.
