PLATE CLXXI. 



A highly interesting entomological acquisition, not figured by 

 any author, and which is known only to the learned world through 

 the writings of Fabricius, The representation of this curious insect 

 occurs among the original drawings of the late Mr. Jones, to which 

 Fabricius refers for his authority, and it need scarcely be added, 

 that the figure depicted in the annexed plate is copied from that 

 individual drawing to which Fabricius adverts. 



Fabricius speaks of the original specimen; from which the 

 drawings by Mr. J ones were taken, being extant in his time in the 

 collection of Mr. Drury, and that it came from the island of Johanna*. 

 We, however, perceive in our copy of the Entomologia Systematica, 

 that this habitat is erased, a correction made by ourselves many 

 years ago upon the authority of Mr. Jones himself. Referring from 

 thence to the manuscripts of Mr. Drury, now in our own possession, 

 we find nothing satisfactory on this subject.
