TAB. NOST. 7. f. 3. OBS. This is an English specimen, and is presumed to be unique, I caught it in the month of July. 4. variata. PHALAENA, (The grey Carpet) alis cinereo-fuscis, faciis duabus strigâque fuscis. Lep. Brit. inadit. Geometra variata. Hüb. Schmet. Geom. 57.293. TAB. NOST. 7. 1. OBS. I caught this by the side of a wood in Kent, in July last. As a British specimen it is presumed to be unique; unless "The shaded Broad-bar" of Harris's Aurelian should be the same, which my friend Mr. Haworth suspects may be the case. Some have thought it to be a variety of P. fluctuata, but if they had likened it to the Juniperata of Linnæus, (a foreign species) they would have been much nearer the truth. 5. quadrimaculata. PHALENA. (The pinion-spotted Yellow) alis sulphureis; costâ basi nigro irroratâ maculisque quatuor æquidistantibus atris. Lep. Brit. inædit. TAB. NOST. 7.2. OBS. I caught this in a woody situation in the month of April. It is also presumed to be unique. ! *} 246 VIII.

Elytris rufis, striatis, striis punctulatis. Palpis, tarsisque ferrugineis. OBS. At first sight, this Insect greatly resembles Scar. fimetarius, but may easily be distinguished from that by its smooth head, destitute of the three tubercles which are seen on the head of that Insect; by its much flatter appearance and by -tits wanting the red mark on each anterior angle of the thorax. The only specimen which has been taken in England was dug at the root of a tree in Richmond Park, during the winter, by Mr. I. P. Neale, F. E. S. who has obligingly enriched my father's Cabinet with it. CARABUS arvensis. DESCRIBED in page 93. Instead of "punctis excavatis triplici serie,” in that description however, I |
