Banks of the Almond, not far from the mouth of the 
rrver. July. — Another species of the genus was taken at 
the same time, by the side of a mill-stream a little higher 
up the river, but it was accidentally destroyed before its 
specific characters had been ascertained. 
Gen. Enicocerus. 
E. viridiaeneus, StepJi. Curtis, vii. pi. 291. 
The curious and somewhat anomalous insect on which 
this genus was formed, was discovered by Mr Gibson, at 
Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, in October 1828. It is figured 
and described by Mr Stephens, in the appendix to the se- 
cond volume of his Illustrations, and more recently by Mr 
CuETis, in the seventh volume of his British Entomology. 
The characters of no less than two additional species are 
given by Mr Curtis, from specimens transmitted to him 
from the above-mentioned locality. The specific distinc- 
tions are made to rest chiefly on the degree of convexity in
