In consequence of the singularity of the insect, and the 
r-rity of the tract in which it wa: originally published, we 
have deemed the insect described hy Mr. Francillon, under 
the name of the kanguroo beetle, ot scarabaeus macropus, to 
be very worthy of an introduction into our illustrations. 
This insect is Supposed to have come from Fotosi, in South 
America. It is of a bright green colour above, with the 
elytra smooth, and golden and copperish beneath, with the 
hind legs incr* seated to a, most extraordinary si ze. 
Ue believe this unique insect is in the collection of Mr. 
Macleay. As an inhabitant of South America there can be 
but kittle doubt, since .Humboldt has discovered a species 
very like it in form in Peru, which M. Latreille has described 
In a magnificent work published by himself and • . Hum¬ 
boldt, under the name of melolontha chrysochlora.
