The Head fmall, the Cheft or middle part ftiort, the Belly 
very long and (lender. Moufet reckons up in all about 
20 forts. 
The LANTHORN-FLY of Peru. Cucujus Peruviana*. 
A quite different Species from that defcribed by Moufet. 
And, with refpect to his Wings, is no way of kin to the 
Beetle or Sc arabeus-kind, but rather the Locuft. I rind it 
no where defcribed. 
Tis above three inches long,and thick as the Ring-finger. 
His Head, in bignefs and figure, admirable 5 near an inch 
and half long, in the thickeft part of it above half an inch 
over. From the Eyes forward it firft fwells or bellies out, 
afterwards contracts into a fmaller, yet blunt end. Tis 
alfo crowned with a broad blunt knob, and the end refi- 
mated or bended upward. In its Circumference it hath 
feven low Ridges or Angles, marked with fo many black 
lines, an eighth line being added betwixt the two upper- 
moft Angles. The greater part hereof ( now ) betwixt 
yellow and ftraw-colour. Yet ftained with brown and red 
ftreaksandfpots, neatly ranged, efpecially on the top and 
both fides. It feems, at leaft in the fore part, to be hollow, 
and almoft like a Bladder blown up. 
The Eyes, for the bignefs of his Body, very fmall. Of a 
dusky-colour, yet gloffy, and Spherical, looking juft like 
two brown Seed-Pearls. Under thefe ftand two fmall round 
parts, open at top, which feem to be the Roots of a pair 
of Horns : unlefs any will conceit them to be his Ears. 
Both thefe and the Eyes are guarded with a femilunar 
Ridge. 
The other parts, being more or lefs fpoil'd, cannot be 
perfectly defcnb'd. His Erobofcis fufficiently ftrong, about 
\ an inch long, and as thick as a flitching or Taylers Needle. 
The Feet all broken off. His Body an inch and long, not 
much exceeding the length of the Head $ about * over, 
Compofed, befides the Shoulders, of about ten Rings. He 
hath four Wings , almoft like thofe of the Locuft j the 
uppermoft fomewhat ftronger and ftiffer than the other. 
Both Pairs are of a dun-colour, fprinkled with dark- brown 
fpots. They are extended confiderably beyond the Body 5 
yet the ends are worn off. 
That which, befide the figure of the Head , is moft 
; . wonderful
