Part 1. 
Kind, but fcarce defcnbes them. All the Species agree, 
in having a very fmall Head, broad Shoulders, a Pyra¬ 
midal Back-piece, and the upper Wings fomewhat like as 
in the Boat-Fly, fc. half Cruftaceous and half Membranous. 
This, is almoft i of an inch long, near i an inch broad. 
His Shoulder and Back-Pieces yellow, fhining and rough 
call. The fore half or crufty part of the upper Wings "of 
a ruffet, the Membranous of a fad green. The Belly ftraw 
colour’d and Chefnut, and divided into federal Sections 
with black Lines, half of them meeting at the ridge of the 
Belly. 
The SPIKED PUNEE. In proportion longer and nar¬ 
rower than the former. The Back ruffet, brown and black. 
The Belly, alhcn. Where, that which is molt obfervable, is 
a Ihort, flat, and veryfharp Thorne or Spike ftanduig level, as 
in the Spiked Water-Clock but with the point the quite 
contrary way, fc. towards the Head. 
The HIGH-SHOULDER’D PUNEE. He is otherwife of 
the lhape and bignefs ofthe former : all over of a brown or 
dun colour, efpecially the Membranous parts of Ins 
Wings. 
The SQUARE-WINGED PUNEE. Scarce I of an inch 
long, and almoft as broad. Partly colour’d with a Ihming 
black, and three fpots of white on each fide. 
Another Square PUNEE, with the Cruftaceous part of 
the Wings ruffet. 
The SHORT-WING’D PUNEE. In which rcfpcct 
chiefly, it differs from the former; the Wings being m 
thofe prolonged to the end of the Tail 5 here, but half 
way. 
The LONG-PECKLED PUNEE. This kind, Moufet hath 
pictur’d among the fmall Beetles 5 but by a miftake, it 
being really a fort of Flying Punee , with Wings partly 
Cruftaceous and party Membranous, which is their Cha- 
ractenftick. The Shoulder-piece, Back-piece, Sides, Belly, 
and crufty part of the Wings, are all red befpeckled with 
black fpots j the Membranous part, dun and fpeckled with 
white.
