i 4 PLATE CCCXXIX. 



The novelty of this creature will be immediately obvious to thofe 

 in the flighted degree acquainted with the hymenopterous tribes of 

 In feels. At firft fight it has the exact appearance of an In feci de- 

 prived of the body, for the abdomen is extremely fmall in propor- 

 tion to the other parts, and fo much recurved or bent under the 

 pofkrior part of the thorax as to be fcarcely vifible. 



It is not more remarkable for its Angularity than rarity, for we 

 have ventured to introduce it as an Englifh Infect on one authority 

 only. — A fpecimen of it was lately taken by the Rev. James Coyte of 

 Ipfwich, in Suffolk. We have it from the South of Europe.
