figured in the annexed plate. It appears, the fpecies has not been 

 cbferved in any other collection. 



This infeSfc is of a moderate fize, as the line defcribing its length 

 at fig. 1, in the lower part of the plate is intended to mew. The 

 prevailing colour is black, but affumes a greyifh afpe6fc from the pale 

 downy hairs with which it is partially covered : the thorax is more 

 villous than the body, and this villofity partakes in a flight degree of a 

 fulvous tint ; a few hairs of the fame colour is alfo obferveable about 

 the head ; the antennae are blackifli j wings hyaline with the nerves 

 pale teftaceous.
