This is an infedt of moft extraordinary appearance. It was difeovered in New Holland by Dr. White, 
who relided in that country for fome time, and is at prefent in the cabinet of Mr. Francillon. 
Dr. Schreibers of Vienna, when in England, deferibed this fpecies of Cerambyx, with feveral other 
very curious Auftralalian infedls, from the cabinet of Mr. Francillon, in a paper prefented to the Linnaean 
Society of London, and which was afterwards printed in their tranfadtions as above referred to. The names 
aliigned to thofe infedts by the ingenious Dr. Schreibers are for the moft part retained by us ; but we 
have to regret that the prolixity of his fpecifical diftindtions do not fo perfedtly accord with our ideas as to 
allow us to adopt them alfo, without material abridgment, and fome alterations : they want that decifive 
concifenefs which fo eminently diftinguilhes the charadters of the great Swedifti naturalift, and of Fabri- 
cius j examples which, in our mind, cannot be too clofely imitated in the fcientific labours of future 
entomologiftg.
