Leptura. COLEOPTERA. 6$ 



The Genus, termed by GeofFroy Leptura, is 

 conapofed of fuch Linnaean Cerambyces as have 

 fetaceous antennas, furrounded at their bafe by 

 the eyes, and the thorax naked or without fpines, 

 and fuch of the Leptura of our author as have 

 their antennae fituate in the eye : in this he is fol- 

 lowed by Schasffer •, the remaining Lepturas 

 are referred by thefe two authors to their fteno- 

 coruS) as before obferved. 



The larvae of this genus are found with thofe 

 of the preceding one, and much refemble them 

 in outward appearance and way of life. 



Dr. Berkenhout has called fome of the Lin- 

 nasan Lepturae Wafp Beetles, I am not cer- 

 tain whether they are generally known by that 

 name.
