If our obfervations on the preceding fpecies are fatisfa&ory and 

 cenclufive, the InfecT: before us mull be a diftinft fpecies, and not the 

 true P. Hyale, for which it has ufually been received. This involves 

 another interefting confideration, for Linnaeus muft have been ac- 

 quainted with this fpecies, as he refers to figures of it in feveral 

 authors. It is probable he conhdered it as a variety, for it does 

 not appear under another name in any part of his writings,
