The entomologifl: we are convinced will be delighted with this choice addition to our feleftion of 
Auftralafian Cimicesj it is perfedly new, of a con fpicuous figure, large, and beautiful, and upon the 
whole lb well deferves fome name of appofite fignification to diftinguifli it that we lhall atfign to it that 
of Bankfii. It is a little remarkable, that this is a fpecific name not pre-occupied by any of the Cimex 
genus, although it will be remembered, that to the afliduities beftowed by Sir Jofeph Banks on the 
fcience of Entomology, we are indebted for the difcovery of three of the finefl; fpecies of that genus hitherto 
known, Imperialis, Regalis, and Paganus, all which are natives of New Holland. 
Cimex Bankfii is from New Holland, where it was found by Dr. White, and is at this time in the 
colledtion of our worthy friend Mr, Francillonj as are also the two other new fpecies which we defcribe 
under the fpecific names of Auftralafia and Elegans.
