 instances, that the identity of the species has been determined upon 

 the same authority as that to which Fabricius was himself indebted 

 for his description of the insect. The delineations in the annexed 

 plate are faithful copies from the original drawings of Mr. Jones, 

 which Fabricius has described, and to which his works refer ; and
