PANOR'PA, f. The Scorpion-fly ; in entomology, 
a genus of infedts of the order neuroptera. Generic cha¬ 
racters— Mouth lengthened into a cylindrical horny pro- 
bofcis ; feelers four, nearly equal; Aemmata three; 
antennae longer than thorax; tail of the male only 
chelated or clawed, refembling the dart of a fcorpion ; 
a circumAance from which almoA all naturalifts have 
given it that name ; but this formidable inArument is not 
formed for any hoAile purpofe; it is ufedby him in laying 
hold of his female during their amorous embraces. There 
are nine fpecies. 
1. Panorpa communis, the common fcorpion-Ay : wings 
of equal length, fpotted with black. This, as its name 
imports, is the moA familiar of all the fpecies, being very 
frequently feen in our meadows during the early part of 
fummer. It is a longiAi-bodied fly, of moderate fize, the 
body yellow and black, with four tranfparent wings ele¬ 
gantly variegated with deep brown or black fpots : the tail 
of the male infeft, which is generally carried in an upright 
pofition, is formed by the three laA fegments of the abdo¬ 
men, and is of a reddifn colour ; head the fame. The 
wings are as long as the body. Inhabits Europe. This 
fpecies is reprefented on the preceding engraving; fig. 2,

the Angular probofcis, or fnout. 
2. Panorpa Germanica : wings equal, hyaline, tipt witli 
brown. It inhabits Germany, and refembles the com-. 
munis.

white; body dufky. It is found in difierent parts of 
North America.

dots and bands. It is found in North America. 
5. Panorpa hyemalis : wings fubulate, flightly in¬

9. Panorpa Cos, the Grfcek fcorpion-fly: wings ereft, 
lower ones nearly linear, and very long. This is a native 
©f Greece and the iflands of the Archipelago, and is an 
infeft of a very peculiar appearance. It is difiinguifhed 
by having the lower wings fo extremely narrow or flender 
as to refemble a pair of linear procefles with an oval dila¬ 
tation at the tip, while the upper w'ings are very broad, 
oval, tranfparent, and beautifully variegated with yellow- 
ifli-brown bars and fpots. See fig. 5.

if he wifhed to revenge the death of Julius Ca:far; and

Octavius himfelf, or, through him, by the phyfician Glicon,
