This curious infeé&t is among the number of thofe lately brought from China. A figure of the upper 
furface is reprefented on a leaf of the Camellia Sefanqua, one of the vignette plates of Sir G. Staunton’s 
Hiftory of the late Embafly to that country; a coloured figure and a fhort account of it may therefore 
prove acceptable to the readers of his volumes. 
Profeffor Thunberg of Upfal difcovered this infect in his travels in Japan, and defcribed it among his 
new fpecies under the name Cimex Ocellatus. Stoll, in a work recently publifhed on Cimices, has alfo given 
a figure of it: he has likewife reprefented another fort, which he confiders as the female (/etter A); it has 
no black points in the yellow {pots of the thorax and fcutellum: he mentions the Ifle of Formofa as the 
native country of his {fpecimens. 
Fabricius has rejeéted the {pecific name Oce//atus, which was given by Thunberg, and has called it 
Difpar: he has added a very minute account of its charaéteriftic marks, &c. 
We have reprefented the infeét in a flying pofition, to difplay the fingular wings, that are concealed 
under the fcutellum when it is at reft. The other figure, diftinguifhed alfo by a ftar, exhibits the under 
fide of the infeét, which for variety and beauty of colours is not lefs interefting than the upper furface.
