On the 30th of Auguft I found one female, plate 3, fig. 5, in every refpect like the former, 
except the marks on the upper fide of the abdomen, which were not difpofed in the fame 
manner ; the dots forming the crofs there, were very fmall and fcarcely vifible, and placed in 
a different order. If this fliould be thought a new fpecies, it may be called pekg.
