ADVERTISEMENT.
It has been observed in a former address, that Entomology considered as a science, in its
present state, affords tbe most ample scope for critical enquiry, and as an object of beautiful
elucidation and splendid embellishment, stands unrivalled. Such was the language of the
author in the course of his introductory observations to this comprehensive illustration of
general Entomology, and the verity of his assertion, he is induced to conceive, will be appa-
rent, in some measure, on a cursory inspection of those volumes of the Work which have
been since submitted to the public judgment. Aware that a remark of this nature, although
advanced in a casual manner, and as relating only to that science in an enlarged point of
view, was calculated to excite no inconsiderable share of expectation in the mind of many,
the author has been anxious in the progress of his undertaking to gratify that expectation,
and, as he trusts, not altogether without success. He is at least persuaded in his own mind
that every advantage within his power has been embraced to render the publication as respect-
able in the style of execution as the merits and utility of the design deserves.
At the commencement of this Work one volume was professedly undertaken to afford the
English naturalist a more competent idea of the Entomology of China than had been hitherto
produced, at a moment when the public curiosity was awakened to that subject by the appear-
ance of Sir George Staunton’s account of the Embassy of Earl Macartney to that country.
This was succeeded by a second volume, which related exclusively to the insects of India,
and the islands in the contiguous seas; a fertile region to the Entomologist: and one so inti-
mately connected, by its political interests, with the British empire, as to be in a peculiar
manner entitled to consideration. The present volume, which we regard as the third of the
intended series, is appropriated solely to the Entomology of New Holland, New Zealand,
Otaheite, and other adjacent islands, comprising with the two preceding a general epitome of
the insects of Asia, and under this title the three volumes above-mentioned, will in future
be discriminated.
The design of the latter volume claims more explicit observation in this place. There
is, perhaps, no extent of country in the world, that can hoast of a more copious or diversified
assemblage of interesting objects in every department of natural history than New Holland,
and its contiguous islands; none that appears more highly worthy of regard: it bursts
upon our view at the first glance like a new creation: the naturalist contemplates its various
productions with astonishment, and is almost inclined to imagine its stores of novelty inex-
haustible. It would be irrelevant to our subject to digress, at any considerable length, upon
this interesting topic, but so far as relates to the Entomological productions of those parts the
reflection is applicable, these are both curious and beautiful, and are besides distinct, in a
very material degree, from any other of the insect tribe that have been hitherto discovered
in other countries.
Entomology, though embracing only an inconsiderable portion of that attention bestowed
upon the science of natural history, by those distinguished individuals who were the first to
IV
explore the Australasian regions at the time of their discovery by Captain Cookj was certainly
by no means neglected^ as the Banksian cabinet, richly stored with the entomological acqui-
sitions collected in those parts at that period, most clearly evinces. To this cabinet the author
owes many obligations in the course of the present undertaking ; and it is truly with some share
of pride, attempered with a becoming sense of gratitude to the liberality of Sir Joseph Banks,
Bart, the author has it in his power to add, that the Epitome of Australasian Entomology,
stands, if possible, more peculiarly indebted to that cabinet than either of the preceding
volumes. The assemblage of New Holland insects it comprises are inestimable, and from
the unreserved access to that cabinet with which he has been uniformly indulged, he has
not failed to enrich his selection for this Work, with drawings and descriptions of every
species, that could materially tend to improve and enhance its value.*
Independent of the above advantages the author may be allowed to mention the collection
in his own possession, that containing many of the insects noticed in the present Work.
Besides a number of those species found in the vicinity of our settlement in New South
W ales, he has been long possessed of a select number of scarce insects collected by Mr.
Bailey, the astronomer, who sailed in one of the expeditions with Captain Cook, and since
the death of the late Mr. Drury, he has further enriched his cabinet with many others discovered
in New Holland, and adjacent islands, at the time they were visited by Sir Joseph Banks.
The author has also farther to acknowledge the benefit he has derived from inspecting
two other cabinets of celebrity in this country, without the assistance of which the present
illustration would have been far less copious and interesting, than it is at this time: these
are the cabinet of Mr. Francillon, and that of A. Macleay, Esq. to both of whom he begs
leave to express his warmest thanks for this testimony of their friendship.
In the descriptive part of this Work the author has been anticipated by Fabricius, but
that only to a small extent; for, as it will be observed in the progress of this Work, the far
greater portion of those insects have not been hitherto described by any author. To Linnaeus,
it is almost superfluous to say, that not a single insect in the whole volume could have been
known. Fabricius, when in England, was allowed to describe those in the Banksian cabinet,
the descriptions of which have since appeared in the Entomologia Systematica. Some of the
coleopterous insects of New Holland, described by Fabricius, are figured by Oliver, but the
lepidoptera, and all the other tribes, remain untouched by the artist. It was therefore an
important point, in the idea of the author, to delineate the more conspicuous, or otherwise
interesting subjects of the Fabrician species that had never undergone such an elucidation;
and it will be found that an extensive selection of these are given in the present volume in
addition to those more recently discovered kinds that have neither been figured nor described
by any Entomologist.
* The Banksian cabinet was lately presented by Sir Joseph Banks to the Linnsean Society of London.

Cetonia Fkontax-is: nigra fronte thoracis margine maculaque poftica elytr(»umque lltura obliqua
pun6lis duobus maculaque apicis viridibus.
An interefling fpecies from New South Wales, where we believe it to be uncommon. This is a non -
defcript infect.
CETONIA CARINATA.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Thorax pitchy, with black margin: wing-cafes black and fulcated: furrows broad, and befet with
fulvous hairs.
Cetonia Carinata: thorace piceo margine atro, elytris atris fulcatis; fulcis latis ex fulvo hirtis.
Cetonia Philipsii. Tranf. Linn. Soc. VI. p. ip3. t.20. /. 4.
A lingular and very rare fpecies from the cabinet of Mr. Francillon, who obtained it from New
Holland. This is not a new fpecies, the individual fpecimen from whence our defcription and figure are
taken having been previoufly defcribed by Dr. Schreibers in the entomological paper above referred to.
CETONIA DORSALIS.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Black, margin of the thorax teftaceous, with a black dot : wing-cafes teftaceous, with a broad futural black
band, and dot of the fame on the fhoulder.
Cetonia Dorsalis: nigra thoracis margine tetlaceo pun6to nigro, elytris teftaceis futura late punftoque

MELOLONTHA VIRIDI-^NEA.
GENERIC CHARACTER.
Antennae clavated, with the club lamellated: head broader than long, and rounded in front: thorax
broad: fcutel round: wing-cafes as long as the abdomen.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Thorax brafly, fhining, and with the wing-cafes teftaceous, changeable to green : body green: legs
teftaceous.
Melolontha Vikidi-^nea; thorace seneo nitido elytrifque teftaceis viridi micantibus corpore viridi,
pedibus teftaceis.
Nature feems to have devoted abundant attention to the embellilhment of this common infeft : its
glow of colouring is peculiar and inimitable. The prevailing hues do not fo ftridlly pleafe us by their
harmony as their contraft, which indeed is ftriking, or rather glaring, but upon the whole produce a
rich effe6t. The ground colour of the body is teftaceous, glolTed with a clear pellucid green, and as the
infeft moves, the more prominent parts illumined by the concentrated rays of light that ftrike upon its
polilhed furface appear highly metallic, partaking either of a braffy, or golden fplendour.
There is another fpecies of the Melolontha genus which alfo is found plentifully in New Holland that
bears a ftrong affinity to this fpecies, but is of a deeper golden colour, and does not appear changeable to
green as in our fpecies viridi-senea.
LUCANUS .^NEUS.
GENERIC CHARACTER.
Antennae clavated, the club comprefled, and divided into Ihort pcftinated laminae : jaws advanced and
dentated: fhanks of the anterior legs dentated : feet of five joints.
COLEOPTERA.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Braffy, jaws exfertedj recurved, and hairy within: headfniall: thorax large and convex.

Lethrus jEneus. Fair. Ent. Syjl. T. p.2. n.2. — Syft. Eleut.l, p.2, n,2.
Although hitherto efteemed a rarity among the entomologifts of this country, Lucanus .Eneus appears
to be by no means unfrequent in fome parts of the ifland of New Holland j we have lately feen, for
inftance, a parcel of them brought from that country, amounting to not lefs than fifty fpecimens,
all which were colledted in the environs of the Englifli fettlement at New South Wales. The fpecies has
thus become pretty common now in England. When Fabricius defcribed it, this infefit, on the contrary,
was extremely rare, the only fpecimens of it known in this country, or perhaps in Europe, being at
that time in the Bankfian cabinet; for the fpecies was originally difcovered in Norfolk ifland, in the Pacific
Ocean, by Sir Jofeph Banks. Fabricius did not certainly examine this infedt with his accuftomed accu-
racy and critical difcrimination, or he would not have afligned it to his new genus Lethrus, (the firft in
his clafs Eleuterata) fince it is moft alfnredly a Lucanus of the Fabrician, as well as the Linnaean Syfiem.
The figures of this infedt in the annexed plate exhibit two very firiking varieties of this fpecies, one
being of a fine golden colour, and the other a dark green. Of the latter kind fome other fpecimens have
occurred to our obfervation in which the colours varied from a dark green to blue, or at leaft blueifli.
The fpecimens in the cabinet of Mr. Francillon are from Norfolk Ifland.
LUCANUS. PARVUS.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Brown: jaws exl'erted, and toothed on the outfide: head fmall: thorax large and canaliculated : wing-
cafes ftriated,
Lucanus Parvus : brunneus, mandibulis exfertis extus dentatus, capite parvo, thorace magno, cana-
liculato, elytris ftriatis.
A new fpecies of Lucanus, but of a diminutive fizc compared with the reft of the infetls in the fame
genus, and in allufion to which we have named it parvus. Mr. Francillon is in poftTeflion of this curious
infedt, which he received from New Holland.

COLEOPTERA,
CERAPTERUS MACLEAII.
GENERIC CHARACTER.
Antennae compreffed, pinnated, with the firfl; joint concave, and placed tranfverfely, and that at the
extremity large, and rounded at the apex ; head very fmall, with the eyes prominent : thorax flat,
fomewhat heart-fliaped, truncated, and narrower than the elytra: wing-cafes length of the abdomen,
and embracing it at the fides : body oblong.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Entirely brown, with the legs Ample.
Cerapterus Macleaii : totus brunneus, pedibus fimplicibus.
A nondefcript fpecies of this Angular genus has been received by our kind friend Mr. Francillon
from New Holland. This is a diminutive, but moft curious creature, and is efpecially remarkable for
the ftrufture of the antennae, which latter appear to conflderable advantage under the lens of the opake
microfcope. The fmalleft figure in the plate denotes the natural fize, and the two larger ones are de-
figned to ftiew its magnified appearance.
In its general habit this infedt approaches the Paufus genusj with which the juvenile Entomologift,
attentive only to the magnitude and club-like form of the antennae, might eafily confound it. The
difference between thofe infedts is, indeed, obvious on more clofe infpedlion; the Paufus having only two
joints in the antennae, of which that at the extremity is by far the largefl: j while the antennae of the true
Cerapterus are furniflied with feveral joints, all which are of a compreflTed form, pinnated, and termi-
nated at both extremities with one larger than the reft.
The genus Cerapterus is defcribed by Swederus, in the Tranfadtions of the Swedilh Academy for
the year 1788,* but does not appear to have been noticed by any other author. The defcription given
by Swederus is taken from an infedt which he names Cerapterus Latipes, in the colledtion of General

that gentleman obtained the infe6t Swederus mentions from Bengal. Another fpecies of Cerapterus was
lately brought from the fame country by Mr. Fichtel, who configned it to the imperial cabinet at Vienna,
Our Auftralafian infe6t, therefore, appears to be the third fpecies of this genus at prefent known, and
being perfectly undefcribed, we beg leave to name it in compliment to our good friend A. M^Leay,

This Is a fine confpicuous infeft, and bears in this country the trivial appellation of the Botany Bay
Diamond Beetle,” in allufion to its refemblance to that brilliant creature Curculio Imperialls, the fpecies
known moft commonly with us by the name of the Diamond Beetle. The fimilitude between thofe
fpecies is, however, remote, Curculio Spectabilis partakes in fome degree of the form, fize, and habit
of Imperialis, but is altogether deftitute of the lovely fparkling luftre which fo eminently charadlerifes
the latter fpecies. A magnified figure of this beetle is reprefented clinging to the blotfoms of the Metro-
fideros Citrina in the upper part of the plate; this, as well as C. Imperialis, being a motl delightful
objedt for microfcopical obfervation.
Curculio Spedlabilis, once a rare infedl, has of late years ceafed to be confidered valuable in the elli-
mation of the Entomologifls of this country, in confequence of the number brought hither at various
times from our fettlement in New South Wales. Throughout the whole ifland of New Holland this
feems to be one of the mod: abundant infedls, and being a creature of remarkable figure and appearance,
we are not to be furprifed that it Ihould attradt the attention of thofe who colledl the natural produdtions

An infedt of this curious kind occurs among the Auftralafian Cirrculiones in the cabinet of Mr. Fran-
eillon. There can be no doubt of its being a Curculio of Linnaeus, but we were mifled by its ambiguous

a diftindt genus under the name of Brachycerus, an opinion which, on further inveftigation, we are in-

very curious Auftralalian infedls, from the cabinet of Mr. Francillon, in a paper prefented to the Linnaean
Society of London, and which was afterwards printed in their tranfadtions as above referred to. The names
aliigned to thofe infedts by the ingenious Dr. Schreibers are for the moft part retained by us ; but we
have to regret that the prolixity of his fpecifical diftindtions do not fo perfedtly accord with our ideas as to
allow us to adopt them alfo, without material abridgment, and fome alterations : they want that decifive
concifenefs which fo eminently diftinguilhes the charadters of the great Swedifti naturalift, and of Fabri-
cius j examples which, in our mind, cannot be too clofely imitated in the fcientific labours of future
entomologiftg.

A moft curious infe6t 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 exadtly refembling that which we obferve on the wings of Lepidopterous infedls. This
fpecies of Prionus is probably unique in this country, or perhaps in Europe.

it is fcarcely inferior to any other infedt of the fame genus we are at prefent acquainted with from other

fpecimens of it brought to England at different times from that country. In all of thefe, the prevailing
colour of the body, head, and thorax, was uniformly teftaceous, fubjedt however to confiderable variation
in the tints and fhades of colour. Some in particular that have occurred to notice were teftaceous tinged
with green, and others inclining to a pale olive. This is one of theCicadis in the Linnsean arrangement;

The entomologifl: we are convinced will be delighted with this choice addition to our feleftion of
Auftralafian Cimicesj it is perfedly new, of a con fpicuous figure, large, and beautiful, and upon the
whole lb well deferves fome name of appofite fignification to diftinguifli it that we lhall atfign to it that
of Bankfii. It is a little remarkable, that this is a fpecific name not pre-occupied by any of the Cimex
genus, although it will be remembered, that to the afliduities beftowed by Sir Jofeph Banks on the
fcience of Entomology, we are indebted for the difcovery of three of the finefl; fpecies of that genus hitherto
known, Imperialis, Regalis, and Paganus, all which are natives of New Holland.
Cimex Bankfii is from New Holland, where it was found by Dr. White, and is at this time in the

The metallic fplendor of this lovely infedf, and its analogous fpecies Imperialis, is aftonifhingly fine.
Regalis is efpeclally, if poflible, more pre-eminently beautiful in this refpedl than the other; fo much
indeed on this occafion, more than on the former, we may truly regret the feeble powers of the pencil,
which afford us no fuch a decided tone of colouring as is likely to imprefs the mind with a true conception
of the original. It is as refplendent as a mafs of polifhcd gold, and is, befides, very richly gloffed with
a variety of prifmatic hues.
Both the fpecies, Imperialis and Regalis, as above obferved, were difcovered by Sir Jofeph Banks in
New Holland, and are defcribed by Fabricius from the fpecimens in the Bankfian cabinet. At this period
we are acquainted with only two other infedts of this fpecies in the Entomological cabinets of this coun-

Papilio Frontinus was received from New South Wales, and does not appear to be defcribed by any writer.
The two infects above mentioned having filiform acuminated antennae, are evidently of the Papilio
genus: belonging to that particular fedlion which our good friend William Jones, Efq. of Chelfea, in his
excellent paper on a new arrangement of the Papiliones calls Romani.* To what genera we ought to refer
the other fpecies reprefented in the fame plate is not quite fo obvious : they appear at the firft view to be
ftrongly allied both in charadter and habit to Romani likewife ; but this is doubtful : we are upon the
whole inclined, on a more accurate infpedion, to refer them rather to the Bombyces.

The remarks already advanced in fpeaking of our new fpecies Sphinx Auflralafiae, will apply in a mate-
rial degree to this nondefcript fpecies likewife. We cannot entertain a doubt of its being perfeftly
unknown in this country till it was introduced at the: fame time as the former by Dr. White. It is rather
larger than our Auftralatiae, to which it bears no very remote refemblance j the colours are in general
darker, and it is in particular diftinguillied by a narrow white ftreak that extends along the interior
margin of the firft pair of wings.
Of this fpecies we have lately feen three or four fpecimens in different cabinets.

In all the Infedts of the Phalaena tribe we are at prefent acquainted with, the fuperior furface of the
wings fo conflantly excel the lower one in point of beauty, or the brilliancy of colouring, that we are to
regard our new Auflralafian fpecies not only as a very interefling infedt, but as a novelty, in which the
ordinary courfe of nature appears reverfed. It fliould be obferved, that this diflimilarity is not by any
means unfrequent in the Papilio genus, the lower furface of which are commonly the moft beautiful, but
that it fcarcely ever occurs in any otJier of the Lepidopterous kinds of infedts. Of the Geometra tribe, to
which our Phalaena Ocultaria belongs, we have certainly fome few fpecies that are equally beautiful on
both furfaces, but no one, perhaps, has hitherto been difcovered in which the ditference is fo remarkable
in favour of the lower furface as in the infedt before us; the upper furface being of a plain, and pale
grey, with a few dark flreaks, while that is embellilhed with a rich variety of colours, and thofe dif-
pofed in flreaks and fpots in a very elegant manner.
There are fpecimens of this curious infedt in the principal entomological cabinets in London. It is
found in the neighbourhood of the Englith fettlements in New South V/ales, and has not to our
knowledge been defcribed by any author.
