This is an In fed! fo well known, as fcarce to need a defcription » as there are two 
or three other fpecies however of the Hemifphaeria, which are often confounded with it 
on a cart lefs infpedtion, it will be proper to mention it’s diftinctive characters: the head 
is black, and on the forehead there are two white fpots: the thorax is black, but whitifh 
on each fide toward the edges: the elytra, or exterior wings, are of a reddiffi colour ; 
there are on each of them three black fpots, and, toward their bafe, there is one fpot 
common to borh, and making the whole number feven j this is black, like the others, 
but whitifh in it’s anterior part. The antenna are very fmall and clavated, and the ani¬ 
mal is entirely black underneath. 
I ■ is common in fields and hedges every-where in fummer: Petiver calls it Cochenil- 
Fa Anglica vulgatiffima five rubra, feptem maculis nigricantibus adfperfa ; and Ray, 
Scarabaus Hemifpharicus rubens major vulgatiffimus. 
Hemifphceria elytris ruhris , punElis duohus nigris• 
The Hemifphceria , with red elytrce ., with two black fpots on them. 
This is a fmall fpecies: the exterior wings are red, and have each in the center one 
black fpot : the thorax is black, but has one larger, lateral, white fpot, and two other 
very fmall ones near the bale, as alfo two others of the fame fize at the infertions of the 
antenna : the belly and legs are black, as are alfo the antenna. 
It is frequent with us on the alder, and many other trees.

'The Hemifphceria^ with black wings ^ with fx red fpots on them . 
This is alfo a fmall fpecies: the thorax is entirely black : the exterior wings are alfo 
of a deep fhining black, but each of them has three very beautiful blood-red fpots on 
it 3 of thefe, that which is neareft the thorax is the larger. 
I have met with this in vaft abundance on the maples, in fome parts of the North 
of England ; we fometimes fee it in the hedges about London, but not frequently : 
Ray calls it Scarabaeus Hemifphsrictis minor elytris nigris rubris maculis.
