The male of this fine fpecies of Phalzna has been given in the firft Number of this Work, with a promife that the female fhould be added in a future Plate. The larva and pupa is reprefented with the male Infect ; but we have alfo introduced other caterpillars of the fame fpecies with the annexed figure, to fhew the different {tages of their growth. When young they are yellowifh: the tuber- cles black, with a {tripe of the fame on the fegments of the joints. After this, the yellow bands become orange, and the tranf{verfe black ftripes appear interrupted with longitudinal bands of pale green. Some are entirely green, except the tubercles, which are yellow, and a fmall black {peck on'each joint; and others are green, chequered with black, and marked on the fide with a row of femilunar fpots. In A2 the 4 PL Ate COREE the winged ftate, we find more permanent and characteriftic diftinc- tions. Linnezus, and after him Fabricius, defcribes three varieties of Phalzna Pavonia, « minor 8 mediaand y major. The firft is the fpecies found in this country, and in the north of Europe. The exiftence of the fecond was formerly difputed by fome naturalifts ; © and the laft is fo extremely different, at leaft in point of magnitude, that we may almoft venture to remove it entirely from the two pre- ceding. The difference between the male and female of the common Emperor Moth is ftrikingly obvious ; the male is fmaller than the female, and the colours in general darker; the pofterior wings alfo are orange in the male, and not fo in the female; and finally, the two fexes may be determined by the ftru@ture of the antenne: thofe of the male being nearly oval, and very deeply feathered, or pedti- nated, and thofe of the female being alfo pectinated, but fo flightly as to appear fetaceous. As the ftru€ture of the antennz is an uner- ring criterion by which the fexes are afcertained, the Phalana Pavonia media is a phenomenon in Entomology, for both the male and female fo perfectly refembles the female Emperor Moth, P. P. media, which we have figured, that it may be miftaken for the fame fpecies: the female differs in no refpect from it ; and the male only in the form of the antennez. We have received this remarkable fpecies from Ttaly and Germany. It is figured only by #/per, Phal. 3. tab. 3; and is thus defcribed by Linnzeus and Fabricius, 6 media: ‘ fingu- laris ob feeminam mari fimillmam.” ‘The third, P. Pavonia major, can by no means be confounded with the preceding: our fpecimen of it is fix inches in breadth, and is alfo very bulky: it is found im the Pays de vaud. Roefel has given a figure of both fexes with the larva and pupa. The winged Infe& is of a dingy brown, the marks fomewhat fimilar to thofe of the common kind. ‘The larva is large, with the head fmall in proportion. “Vhe whole is of a citron green, furnifhed BAT © CCU 5 furnifhed with elevated tubercles, whofe fummits diverge into rays like a ftar, and are of an azure blue colour: it is alfo befet witha number of long filaments of threads, each of which terminate in a little capitulum fimilar to the antennz of a Butterfly, A3 | Pe bya EE Mil a hes Ae Mal ‘5 ; rm Gt DOS > ABDI Te sos oie Wy A Wea DRAM (4 (94 o4 Ql ee as Po Ae CTV.

A fifth fpecies is defcribed by Gmelin in the laft edition of the Syftema Nature, under the name of Uralenfis*. The fpecies in the Entomologia Sy{tematica of Fabricius, are Bquina, Avicularia, Hirundinis, and Lo- vina. The firft is rather larger than the others, and is well known by athe common name of Horfe Fly, becaufe it frequently molefts thofe animals, and attaching itfelf to their bodies, penetrates the fkin, and fucks their blood. The three other fpecies are alfo natives of this country, and like the H. equina, fubfifts on the blood of certain ani- mals. The H. aviculariais found chiefly on the bodies of birds, and H. hirudinis more efpecially on fwallows. Thefe creatures are all of a difgutting form, flat, and hard: they adhere very tenacioufly by means of the nails or crotchets of their talons, which in this genus are numerous; and are not eafily killed by prefflure. The H. equina has three fharp incurvated nails to each foot, the H. hirun- dinis is furnifhed with twice that number on each. e FIG. IL. HIPPOBOSCA AVICULARIA. SPECIFIG. CHARACTER AND SYNONYMS.

Linnzus very accurately defcribed’ this Infe&t under the fpecific name ZIofa in the early edition of the Syftema Nature. It is given as a native of Germany, and without a reference to any figure. Fabricius has followed the fame defcription throughout all his works, without 34 PLAME acre. without noticing any figure of it alfo, until the Entomologia Syftema- tica appeared, when a reference is given to tab. 5. Phal. 3. Vol. 1. of Roefel’s Infe&ts.. This is however erroneous, for Linnzus includes that reference among the Synonyms of his Phalena Gamma, and Gmelin, his lateft editor, continues the fame amongft the Synonyms of - Gamma likewife. Klemany, who revifed the laft edition of Roefel’s work, is decidedly of opinion, that tue figure is that of Gamma, and affigns the Linnzan fpecific name to it accordingly. Whatever reafon influenced the opinion of Fabricius, that the figure in queftion was the true Phalzna Iota of Linnzus, when that author himfelf fays otherwife, is not mentioned by Fabricius, and is by no means clear to us; but one circumftance cannot efcape obfervation: Fa- bricius has in no inftance referred to the figure in Roefel’s plate be- fore the publication of his laft work, though all the other Synonyms of Phalena Gamma are the fame in every edition of the Fabrician fy{tems as in thofe of his predeceflor, Linnzus.

The Sphinges of Great Britain are not numerous ; and, in general, the more beautiful kinds are rare. The Sphinx Ocellata is certainly an exception to fuch remark, for we have not a finer or more abundant fpecies of the tribe in this country. It is alfo no lefs common in other parts of Europe; and few authors, who have treated on the Entomology of any country in Europe, have neglected to give it a place in their works. The larva of the Sphinx Ocellata is found on the willow, in May, June, and July, when it becomes a pupa, and remains in the earth till June following ; and then comes forth in the perfe& ftate.

The Gryllus Migratorius, or Migratory Locuft, has always been claffed amongft the Infeéts of this country on local authority. It certainly vifited Great Britain in the year 1748, and feveral {mall flocks of them were feen in the environs of London, where they, | cauled ao. Sa Se ele caufed much confternation, according to the authors of that time: M. Edvards in particular, gave a figure, and a fhort account of it in his Hiftory of Birds, [Plate 208] under the name of Great Brown Locuft. It is not certain that they have appeared, at leaft in confiderable numbers in this country, fince that period; and it is probable, if any fpecimens of them were then collected, they are now loft; for we have not hitherto been able to afcertain, pre- cifely, an Englifh fpecimen of it in any cabinet, and this confider- ation alone, has induced us to defer adding this remarkable creature~ to our illuftration of Britifh Infeds. In the month of September, 1799, Lapy AYLEsrorD mott ebligingly communicated a living fpecimen of it to us, and we deem ourfelves particularly fortunate in the opportunity it affords us to afcertain the difference, however inconfiderable, between the variety found in England and thofe of warmer countries. It is reprefented in the annexed plate, both in a refting pofition and with the wings expanded. This fpecimen was found in a barley field near Pack- ington in Warwickfhire. It lived feveral days after its arrival in - London, and would probably have furvived much longer had it not been injured in the journey, and weakened by long confinement. We remarked, that in feeding, it cuts the ftalk afunder in the middle, or near the root, and tearing off the leaves, eats only the pith; this may, in fome meafure, account for the great mifchief and depredation thefe creatures commit, when they fettle in vaft numbers on any tract of cultivated land. Though we regard the Gryllus Migratorius as an obje& of cu- riofity in this country, in many others they are the terror of the inhabi- tants. Wearenot, perhaps, to admit implicitly tue relations of all authors, but in thofe of credibility and information, we find abundant reafon to hope it. may ever remain, as at prefent, a rare Britifh fpecies. “It is faid to be very numerousin Tartary, from whence at certain periods it migrates weftward, and vifits the fouth of Europe in incredible quantities. Ofall the authors who have treated on the hiftory of this Infe&t, none are-more fatisfactory than Roefel; his I PRATT €crxx, 51 his obfervations are given in detail, but they are the refult of ufeful information, and may be deemed a proper fequel to our concife ac- count of it; when we confider that his obfervations relate to the fame event and time, the legions of Locufts that appeared in this country, and throughout Europe in 1748. * « J have already,” fays Roefel, “ given, particulars of thofe dangerous guefts in the beginning of the year 1749, and at the fame time added figures of them+. I fhall now only obferve, that in the courfe of the fame year, they not only appeared in Poland, Hungary, Auftria, Bohemia, Silefia, Bavaria, but.alfo in Franconia, and confequently in the environs of our city. ‘Thanks be to God, they have not been numerous about our city, but from Wind-~ fheim we have intelligence of the third of September, that they had frightened the inhabitants with their legions, but they departed again on the fourth; fince then, a much refpeCted patron has kindly fent me, the IMPERIAL AND Royat Huncarian Epict of the prefent year 1749, together with a printed defcription of the Infect, and proper inftructions to the imperial fubjeGts, how to extirpate them, and I thought it neceflary, as they contain much good and ufeful “matter, to infert them.” Then he proceeds with Befchreibung Deren Anno 1747, &c. &c. or a defcription of the Locuft, as given in the Imperial Edit, &c. In the courfe of which, and the defcription | in page 145, we are informed, that this Locuft lives three years, } The female depofits her eggs ina kind of bag; the eggs are about a quarter of an inch in length: of a flender oblong form, and | placed within the bag lengthwife, fo as to form four or five tiers. It is moft advifed to dig for them in this ftate, and burn them ; or if they fhould alight in the winged ftate, as it is known that the noife of bells, &c. will allure them to any particular fpot, it is re- commended to form deep ditches, and decoy, drive, or beat them into the water in multitudes. * Under the fe€tion Der Heufchreéten und Grillenfammlung, &c. &c.

Ts 2 p 77> 103. The Phryganea Varia of Fabricius has not Been figured by any author; but is, we fufpect, no other than a {mall variety of P. Grandis, and which Linnzus defcribes as ‘ alts cinereo teftaceisy << [ineolis duabus longitudinalibus nigris, punéto albo.” Fabricius has altered this definition to ‘* alis teflaceis cinereo maculatis,” in the Entomolegia pita and erroneoufly attributes the latter to Linnzus. We cannot avoid, in fupport of our opinion, noticing the ftriking diffimilarity between the feveral figures of Phryganea Grandis, in our copies of the works quoted by Linnzus and Fa- bricius. Reefel has two figures, one of a bluith grey, the other H yellowith 66 1) Sa aE Fale OG a yellowifh brown; both vary in the markings, and are nearly twice the fize of our fpecimen. In Sulzer, the wings are fhorter and _ more pointed than in the preceding work; and are rather pellucid and tinged with yellow: the markings totally different from thofe in Roefel. Thole in Scheffer are moft like one of our fpecimens in — form and reddifh colour, but ftill with markings as different from it as from either of the preceding figures. We may hence conclude the marks are inconftant, and the colours extremely variable; and that in point of fize, the prefent fpecies may be the Varia of Fa- bricius, fince he notices its affinity to the P, Grandis; and adds, it. is rather fmaller.—‘ Nimis Affinis P.
