A moft curious infed from New South Wales, in the cabinet of Mr. Francillon. This fpecies is ap- 
pofitely named Lepidopterus by Dr. Schreibers, in the paper above referred to, from the villofe fpots 
on the wing-cafes, which, when attentively examined, appear cloathed with a fort of fcaly down, or 
feathering, moft exadly refembling that which we obferve on the wings of Lepidopterous infeds. This 
fpecies of Prionus is probably unique in this country, or perhaps in Europe.
