His Legs and Belly of the fame. He hath a ftrait, pointed 
Tail prolonged beyond the Wing-fhells * of an inch, from 
whence I have nam’d him 5 and by which he feems of kin

The SHORT-SHELL’D BEETLE. By Aldrovandus , 
called Scar aba? us Serpentarius , fomewhat abfurdly, fc. for 
that he once found them in a Serpent. But his Defcription 
is not ill. He feems by the fhortnefs of his Wing-fhells 
to border on the Dorr or Hedge-Chafer , as the former. As 
alfo by their colour, compofed of black and Chefnut 
Rings indented together. Here are five of this Species.

lanocyanem. See Moufet’s Defcription. Of this, the Wing- 
fhells are ftriated or furrow’d by the length. All the upper 
parts are black, the under parts blew, exactly like that 
colour which Watch-Mailers and others give to their Steel- 
Works. Sometimes the nether parts are rather reddifh, juft 
like pure bright Copper. Sometimes their Tails and Belly 
of a golden Green, of which is that called by Wormius , 
Scarab ecus XAapfyw®". Here are of thefe, mail, about half
