158 Of Infects. Part I. 
The Head fmall, the Cheft or middle part (hort, the Belly 
very long and (lender. Moufet reckons up in all about 
20 forts. 
The LANTHORN-FLY of Peru. Cueujus Peruvianas. 
A quite different Species from that defcribed by Moufet. 
And, with refpect to his WingSj is no way of kin to the 
Beetle or Scarabeus- kind, but rather the Locuft. I find it 
no where defcribed. 
Tis above three inches long,and thick as the Ring-finger: 
His Head, in bignefs and figure, admirable; near "an inch 
and half long, in the thickeft part of it above half an inch 
over. From the Eyes forward it firft fwells or bellies our, 
afterwards contracts into a fmaller, yet blunt end. Tis 
alfo crowned with a broad blunt knob, and the end refi- 
matedor bended upward. In its Circumference it hath 
feven low Ridges or Angles, marked with fo many black 
lines, an eighth line being added betwixt the two upper- 
moft Angles. The greater part hereof (now) betwixt 
yellow and flraw-colour. Yet Rained with brown and red 
Rreaks and fpots, neatly ranged, efpecially on the top and 
both Tides. It feems, at lead in the fore part, to be hollow, 
and almoR like a Bladder blown up. 
The Eyes, for the bignefs of his Body, very fmall. Of a 
dusky-colour, yet gloffy, and Spherical, looking jufl like 
two brown Seed-Pearls. Under thefe Rand two fmall round 
parts, open at top, which feem to be the Roots of a pair 
of Horns : unlefs any will conceit them to be Ins Ears. 
Both thefe and the Eyes arc guarded with a fcmilunar 
Ridge. 
The other parts, being more or lefs fpoil’d, cannot be 
perfectly defcrib’d. His Probofcvs fufliciently flrong, about 
i an inch long, and as thick as a flitching or Taylers Needle. 
The Feet all broken ofl'. His Body an inch and 1 long, not 
much exceeding the length of the Head ; about I over. 
Compofed, befides the Shoulders, of about ten Rings. He 
hath four Wings, almoR like thofe of the Locuft. ; the 
nppermoR fomewhat Rronger and RiRer than the other. 
Toth Pairs are of a dun-colour, fprinkled with dark-brown 
fpots. They are extended considerably beyond the Body; 
yet the ends are worn off. 
That which, befide the figure of the Head, is moR 
wonderful
