AS a general hiftory of the Entomological productions of Great Britain, this Work has been long acknowledged the moft copious hitherto fubmitted to the Public. ‘The firft part, comprifing no leis than ten volumes, having already appeared in monthly numbers, the author does not con- ceive it in any re{peét incumbent on him to enlarge on its pretenfions to notice. Whatever may be its merits, the author muft, in candour, allow they have been am- ply appreciated by the liberality of that public, who, for the fpace of ten: years, were pleafed to fanétion it with the beft teftimony of their approbation. The publication of this work has been fome time difcontinued, but the occafion of this delay is fufficiently known. The Author had then fulfilled his firft engagements, fo far as related to this work, and was unwilling to trefpafs beyond the li- mits thofe engagements prefcribed.—He ftated, notwith- fianding, at the ee ectuatn of the work, that no confidera- tion fhould permit him to entirely abandon his entomologi- cal purfuits: that his attention would be directed to a tci- ence in which the pat indulgence of the public had induced him to believe he might yet be ufeful; and that, fhould a number of new and valuable infeéts occur, they would be certainly added in a fupplemental form to improve the former work. Since that period, the author has been led to .conceive, his endeavours might not prove unacceptable in elucidating Tex wa a elucidating the fcience of Britifh Entomology, upon a ftill more extenfive fcale than even this fuggeftion intimated ; and it is under this idea, he once more folicits the at- tention of his former fubfcribers and the public, in favour of a fecond part of his original undertaking. The obje& of the ten preceding volumes was avowedly to comprehend a feleCtion only of the moft beautiful, or otherwife particularly interefiing fpecies of infects trom all the various claffes, but more efpecially from that of the Lepidopterous tribes; more was not promifed, and could not have been expeéted. When, therefore, the author ventures to extend the limits of his original defign, the motives for it fhould be unequivocally ftated. It is not upon the addition merely of a few felect fubjeGts omitted in the former work, either in a fapplemental, or any other form, that he now conceives he ought to reft his claims to further notice, but by declaring what it is his intention to fulfil; that the future volumes, with the preceding, thall comprife, colle&tively, a general hiftory, and elucidation in appropriate defcriptions, and figures, of the whole Ewro- motocia Britannica, fo far as his own cabinet, and the obliging communications of his friends will permit. —And here the author begs leave to fiate, that the time elapfed fince the conclufion of the former part of the work has been employed in a manner beft calculated to give effe€t to this defign. Independently of many valu- able acquifitions colleéted by himfelf and various friends in remote parts of the kingdom, he has the fatisfa€tion to obferve, that two entire cabinets, of eminent celebrity, have been lately added to that which he before poffeffed. - The Lavan 1 o The firft of thofe colle¢tions is of the utmoft confe- quence to the fcientific Entomologift, as muft be ad- mitted, when it is obferved to be the genuine cabinet of Britifh Infe&ts, formed by the late Mr. D. Drury, the patron of Harris, and father, as he may be truly deemed, of praétical Entomology in this country :—a cabinet, the refult of thirty years, indufirioufly and moft ardently de- voted to this purfuit, and combining the united informa- tion and difcoveries of almott every other Englifh Aure- lian for a long period of time.—And even after naming this, perhaps the firft eftablifhed cabinet of any note in England, it will not appear trivial to mention the other, that of the late Mr. Green, of Weftminfter, a collector well known to the practical Entomologifts of the prefent day, as inferior to few, if any, in his zealous and perfe- vering attachment to this fubje¢t. The pofthumous la- bours of two or three other collectors might be likewife — named, as at this time enriching the author’s cabinet, and one efpecially of Kentifh Infects, collected in the neigh- bourhood of Faverfham; but enough the author prefumes has been already faid, to prove that he has been no less fuccefsful than affiduous, in availing himfelf of fuch pre- - eminent advantages, and that he has ultimately amaffed to- gether, fuch a collection of the Entomological productions of this country, as may enable him to render the con- tinuation of his Natural History of Britith Infeéts fo far refpeCiable as to gratify every moderate fhare of expec- tation. And laftly, the author trufts, that in thus proceed- ing upon an enlarged and comprehenfive plan towards the elucidation of this pleafing department of Britith Natural hy vant Natural Hiftory, he will merit the liberal countenance, not only of every Entomologift, but of every friend to the purfuits of fcience; and be enabled, through their kind communications, to bring forward and complete, a more copious, interefting, and ufetul work, than can even now be anticipated.

We are happy to embrace the prefent opportunity of prefenting our readers with a figure of this magnificent fpecies of Hawk-Moth, as a new Britith Infect, upon the belt and moft unqueftionable au- thority. We have a fpecimen of it among the Brith Sphinges, in the cabinet of the late Mr. Drury, now in our poffeffion, with a manufcript note affixed, informing us that this identical infect was taken in the neighbourhood of London, and brought to him alive fome few years ago*. ‘The figure accompanying this defcripticn will afford a better idea of the beauty of this valuable acquifition, than any words we cau employ; it is reprefented precifely im its natural fize, and as nearly refembling it in markings, and colours, as the fide- lity of the pencil will admit. When we fay the figure of this imfeét is fubmitted for the firtt time as a Britifh {pecies, we with to be underftood as {peaking of the figure only, for the very fpecimen under confideration at this time has been already defcribed as a Britith infeét, and the fpecies itfelf is perfectly well known as an exotic, or extra-european kind, to moft entomologifts. It is this fpecimen that Mr. Haworth mentions in his recent essay on the Lepidoptera of Great Britam, and upon the fole authority of which he inferted it in that work as a new Britith * The label alluded to, refers to two fpecimens, namely, our prefent infect, and one of Sphinx Conyolvuli, both which are mentioned in the following words, in- {cribed in the hand-writing of Mr. Drury. “One of the above fpecies is certainly different from the Sph. Convolvulus. The difference is manifeftly difcernable. They were alive when firft brought to me, one about the year 1776, the other 1788.”—Jt is obvioully impoflible to collect from the tenor of this memorandum, which of the two infetts he received firit, but this we may reft perfwaded of, that he obtained the living {pecimen of our new Britith {pecies either in the year 1776, or 1788. Tofect. PLATE CCCLXI. 3 Infect. We have, however, fill further to obferve, that although it was unique as Britz/h at the time Mr. Haworth defcribed it from Mr. Drury’s cabinet, it is not fo at prefent, another colleétor, as Mr. Hawoith informs us, having captured a fpecimen of it very lately in the vicinity of Little Chelfea, near which place it proves, upon” pretty accurate information that Mr. Drury’s {pecimen was alfo taken. Thefe are our authorities for confidering the fpecies as Britifh, and of courfe as claiming a very diftmguifhed place in the prefent work, not lefs on account of its magnitude, than its beauty and rarity. That it is occafionally found in Britain is fufficiently obvious, but there are circumftances attending its hiftory that leave fome doubts upon our mind, whether we ought not rather to confider it as a natu- ralized fpecies, than as an aborigine, at the fame time that the abfo- lute impoffibility of deciding this doubtful particular muft be ac- knowledged.—In America, we well know, it is far from uncommon, and being naturally a hardy fpecies, there is at leaft a poffibility of the parent ftock of the Englifh brood having been originally mtro- duced into this country with the cargoes of fome American veflels. This bemg the true Sphinx Carolina of Linneus, an infeét fo very clearly afcertamed both from the Linnean defcription of it, and from the figure quoted in the works of Merian, we cannot avoid exprefling fome furprife, that Mr. Haworth, m his recent publica- tion above-mentioned, fhould have deemed it altogether a new fpecies. The circumftance of Mr, Drury’s fpecimen having only five pair of lateral fpots on the abdomen, infiead of fix as Linneus remarks in {peaking of his Sphinx Carolina, may perhaps have led to this error ; for in every other particular Linneus is furely too expreffive to be eafily miftaken. So far as relates to the number of thofe yellow lateral fpots, the Liman definition muft be underftood with fome latitude, for Limeus would certainly have been more correét im ftating five fpots on each fide to be the ufual number, inftead of fix. All the fpecimens of Sphinx Carolina that have occurred to our own obfervation, have been uniformly marked with five pair of la- Be teral 4 Pay AT Eo CCCLKI, teral fpots only, with the exception of one or two large females, in which there was a flight appearance of a fixth pair; a few fulvous hairs appearing below the black band on each fide the fixth annulation of the abdomen. The larva of this infeét is green, with lateral fpiracles on every _fegment, furrounded by a purple ring, and the caudal fpine is of the fame colour. According to Fabricius the larva feeds on the Tobacco plant: Mr. Abbot alfo confirms this faét m his hittory of the Infeéts of New Georgia, fo that whatever it may fubfift upon in this country, we muft conclude the Tcbacco plant to be its na- tural food. In America we are informed, that it is really duftinguifhed. by the name of Tobacco Moth, PLATE i WORN Gyannie me . pat) PLATE CCCLXII PEGs Ty 1 COCCINELLA OBLONGO-GUTTATA. OBLONG-SPOTTED LADY COW.

Naucoris Cimicoides is an inhabitant of the water, where it fubfilis by preying on a variety of other infe¢ts, which it attacks and pierces with its formidable, acutely pomted probofcis, and extra¢ts their moif- ture in the fame manner as the bug, or cimex tribe. The habits of this animal are fimilar to thofe of the nepz or water Scorpions, among which Linnzus places it, though not in our mind with fufficient rea- fon: we are perfuaded they ought, on the contrary, to conftitute two diftinct genera. Geoffroy was of this opinion : he feparated our mfeét from the nepe, and referred it to his new genus Naucore, or Naucoris*, and Fabricius follows the example of Geoffroy in this particular in his Entomologia Syfiematica. Tt is a ftrong, and pretty evident charac- teriftic of the two genera Nepa, and Naucoris, that the firft has not the leaft appearance of a lip to the mouth, and the other has one very vifible and diftinét :—an advanced lip of a rounded form +. This infeét is not common. Our fpecimens were taken in Kent. It is well known as an European infeét, though not as a Britifh fpecies. * Hit.

The larva feeds fecurely from the intrufion of the Entomologift in marfhes and watery places, fubfifting entirely on aquatic plants, and is therefore fcarcely even met with, except in the winged ftate, which it affumes in May. The diflimilarity between the two fexes of this fpecies is altogether fo very remarkable, that it is only from an intimate acquaintance with the manners of the two infeéts in a ftate of nature, or the concurrent teftmmony of many obfervers, that we could be induced to believe them both of the fame {pecies. Fabricius, and Gmelin after him, fays, the larva is greenifh, hairy, with whirls of black dots, and yellowilh head. The figures in Efper, T. 3. pl. 42, reprefent the larva of a cinereous colour, verticillated with black dots, and tufts of ferruginous hairs. Other writers fpeak of the head and tail being red. Thofe different defcriptions may be eafily, how- ever, reconciled by prefuming thofe authors had each noticed the larvee at different periods of growth, or perhaps this diffimilarity may ferve to point out the difference between the two fexes, even in the larva ftate.

We are much inclined to fufpect that this beautiful fpecies of Giyl- lus has not been delineated by any author, although it is one of the Linnean 88 PLATE CCCXCL Linnzan infects, and on that account more likely to have been noticed than many others. Linneus faw it in the mufeum of Lefk, from whence he defcribes it very accurately as an European infect, in his Syftema Nature, and it appears likewife in Mufewm Lefkeianum. It is rather fingular that Fabricius does not mention it. This is probably a rare fpecies on the continent, or at leaft it would appear fo from the filence of continental Entomologifts refpeéting it. As a Britithh Infeét Gryllus flavipes is uncommon, having been hi- therto found only by oné or two collectors: they met with it in the vi- cinity of London, and {peak of it as a fpecies peculiar to marfhy places. Found about the latter part of July. Both fexes are reprefented in our plate in their natural fize, and in a flying pofition in order to difplay their wings in the moft picturefque point of view.
