4 6 The Hiftory of ANIMALS, 
verfe yellow fpots toward it’s hinder part: the eyes are black, and there is a black foot 
near the antennas : the antennae are equal to five times the length of the body • they 
are grey, and are compofed of ten articulations, which are fhorter, as they are nearer 
the head? the wings are black, ftreaked with brown. The female in this fpecies has 
an elongation at the anus, which continues the body to a third of the length of the 
an terms?; but in the males they are five or fix times as long as the body. 
It is round in old woud, but is not common with us. I met with a prest number 
of them in fome old timber in Lincolnfhire laft fummer* Petiver calls itCaaricornus 
Rufticus cinereus cornubus longiffimis. 4 
Cerambyx nigricans thorace villofo cinereo ., punSUs Juobus glahris. 
The black Ceramhyx, with a hairy 5 grey thorax > a?td two fmooih Jpotst 
The body of this fpecies is oblong, and fomewhat depreffed ; it’s colour is a deep 
black, with an admixture of a faint grey: the body is covered with a number of 
frort hairs, and with prominent tubercles between them : the whole thorax is hairy; it 
is black, and the hairs are white, fo that on the whole it appears grey, but there' are 
two fmooth prominent fpots on it’s hinder part: the antenna? are {lender, black, and 
of about half the length of the body; there is an undulated line on the extetior wings, 
but fo faint, that it is fcarce vifible; the exterior wings are fomewhat flexile. 
It is found among timber, but is not very common with us. 
I other fpecies of the Ceramhyx are numerous: they may be arranged under two 
divifions; thofe of the find having fharp protuberances arifing from the thorax, and 
thofe of the fecond not. 
Of the firft divifion, befide the two firft defcribed fpecies, there are, i. The black 
Ceramhyx, with a flatted tnorax, the edge tridentated on each fide, and with coal- 
black antenna?. 2. ine lendifh Cerambyx, with three longitudinal black lines on the 
wings. 3. The black Cerambyx, with irregular pale fpots on the wings, the thorax 
prickly, and the antennas longer than the body. 4. The grey Cerambyx, with black 
fpots, and a black tranivene line on the wings, and with the antenna? of once and a 
half the length of the body. 5. The grey Cerambyx, with black, abrupt, exterior 
wings, with white fpots, and a white tranfverfe line on them, and with the antennas 
once and a half the length of the body. 6. The grey and black Cerambyx, with the 
antennas of about half the length of the body. 7. The grey Cerambyx, with two 
yellow, tranfverfe lines on the exterior wings, and the antenna? of half the length of 
the body. S, The teflaceous Cerambyx, with a double, white, tranfverfe line on the 
wings. 
Or the fecond divifion, or thofe which have none of thefe fpinofe protuberances on 
the thorax, there are, befide the laft defcribed fpecies, 1. The black Cerambyx, with 
two white,^undulated, tranfverfe lines on the exterior wings. 2. The teftaceous Ce¬ 
rambyx, with a grey, hairy thorax, with two fmooth, fhort lines on it. 3. The 
teftaceous Cerambyx, with the fmooth thorax. 4. The brown Cerambyx, with im~ 
prefted fpots on the thorax, c. The grey Cerambyx, with the exterior wings fpotted 
with black. 6. The black Cerambyx, with a longitudinal, dentated, yellow line, 
and yellow fpots on the exterior wings. 7. The fine, violet-coloured, fhining Ceram¬ 
byx, with black antennas, and clavated thighs.

r I"'"' H E antennas of the Leptura are oblong, {lender, and fetaceous : the exterior 
JL wings are truncated at their extremity, and the thorax is of a fubcylindrie 
figure, 
Leptura tzigra, elytris rubefcezzti-lividis . 
The black Leptura, with reddijh-livid , exterior wings . 
This is a large fpecie; it’s body is of an oblong figure, and grows finaller behind : 
this, the legs, the antennae, and all the other parts, except only the exterior wings, are 
black : the belly, and all the under part of the Infeft, is black, but, if viewed in a 
certain light, it looks white and filvery : the exterior wings in the females are of a
