OflnfeSs. PartL 
The Head fmall, the Cheft or middle part (hort, the Belly 
very long and {lender. Moufet reckons up in all about 
20 forts. 
The LANTHORN-FLY of Peru. Cucujm Peruvians. 
A quite different Species from that defcribed by Moufet, 
And, with refped to his Wings, is no way of km to the 
Beetle or Scarabeus-kind, but rather the Locuft. I find it 
no where defcribed. 
'Tis above three inches long,and thick as the Rmg-finget 
His Head, in bignefs and figure, admirable 3 near an inch 
and half long, in the thicker! 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 
Itreaks and fpots, 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 glolfy, and Sphaerical, 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 Probofcis fufficiently ftrong, about 
3 an inch long, and as thick as a Hitching or Taylers Needle. 
The Feet all broken off. His Body an inch and I long, not 
much exceeding the length of the Head 5 about * over. 
Compofed, befides the Shoulders, of about ten Rings. He 
hath four Wings , almoft like thofe of the Locuft 3 the 
uppermoft fomewhat ftronger arid ftirfer than the other. 
Both Pairs are of a dun-colour, fpnnkled with dark- brown 
fpots. They are extended considerably beyond the Body 5 
yet the ends are worn off. 
That which, bciide the figure of tile Head , is moil 
wonderful
