{iii}MR. DRURY'S PREFACE
TO THE FIRST EDITION.
----
VOL. III.
Grateful for the favourable reception the two preceding volumes of this
work have met from the lovers of Natural History, it is with pleasure that
I now present them, though late, with this my third and last volume, which
has been completed in opposition to greater disadvantages and
disappointments than attended either of the others.
It may not be superfluous to inform my readers, that this publication is
the result of such leisure hours only as could be spared from an
indispensable assiduity to immediate business, and a necessary attention,
at that time, to an impaired constitution.
This being taken into consideration, little apology will be required for
the length of time I have been in bringing it out, by those who know what
trouble we must necessarily have with the various artists, who are employed
in executing the different parts of such a work, and with what scrupulous
exactness and care every minute part ought to be examined and corrected.
This unavoidable delay, however, has been productive of another
circumstance, which compels me to entreat all their candour and indulgence.
I have always made it a rule of my conduct to promote Natural History by
every method in my power. My cabinet has therefore been open to all those
gentlemen, from whatever part of the world they came, who made Entomology
their study. In consequence of this permission, descriptions of many of the
insects now published have got abroad some time since, and even figures of
several of them have made their appearance. This I did not expect, as many
of my plates were entirely finished some months, and even years, before
those above-mentioned could have got forth. This will account for the
seeming contradiction in many places, upon comparing the descriptions with
the Index, where many insects are described and mentioned as _new_ ones,
but in the Index have their synonyms given in various authors. The truth
is, the descriptions were made about the year 1775, between which time and
the present those authors published their respective works.
But who can foresee disappointments, or avoid their effects? It may be
urged, that these plates might have been omitted, and others substituted.
In so doing, however, I could {iv}not have been justified, either to the
purchasers of the former volumes, or to myself. Many of them, there is no
doubt, would not have the figures of those insects alluded to, unless in
this work; and, as to my part, without considering the loss, neither my
business, my health, nor my leisure, would have enabled me to supply their
place. This very circumstance I have mentioned in the Preface to my last
volume, wherein I bespoke the candour of my readers for an _anticipation_
of a similar kind, which got abroad before I could bring out that volume.
In the present case, I have the greatest reason to request the same
indulgence from a motive still stronger, which is, that almost all the
figures given by other authors, and which I have quoted in the index, were
taken from specimens originally in my possession. As it is, I hope, the
novelty, the beauty, and the curiosity of the other insects herein
published, will, by affording large gratification to the inquisitive
naturalist, make some amends, and that the nature of my situation will
procure me a full acquittal from any kind of premeditated imposition.
In regard to the manners and economy of the insects now published, I have
been able to get little information. There are very few, even of those who
collect abroad, who will give themselves the trouble of making
observations; and such as do not want inclination or ability, and even
travel expressly for the purpose, find great, and to us almost
inconceivable impediments.
Mr. Smeathman, who has been many years in Africa and the West Indies, has
furnished me with a few remarks on this subject, together with observations
on some particular insects, published in the preceding volumes as well as
this. These observations, I am of opinion, will afford information and
entertainment to my readers, and, at the same time, throw some light on the
nature, qualities, or dispositions of many kinds of insects, of which,
hitherto, we know nothing more than the external figure. He informs me,
that in hot climates, especially such as are not well settled, the
difficulties attending every kind of study, and every species of
collecting, are infinitely greater than those who have not visited them can
possibly suppose. In those countries, either from the scarcity and high
price of the materials, or the dearness of labour, the traders or settlers
are obliged to calculate for little more than necessary house-room, with
such conveniences only as are absolutely necessary for their different
occupations and pursuits; in which they are, from these circumstances,
frequently much cramped and embarrassed. If this is the case with those who
have all the best means in their power of providing for themselves, how
must it be with transient persons and speculative travellers, who are
seldom profitable visitors, and whose studies consequently meet with little
partiality from such as are assiduously engaged in the sole pursuit of
wealth or power?
As to the breeding of insects, and observing their changes and dispositions
with care and circumspection, it seems almost impossible in the nature of
things to be practised, except, comparatively speaking, with a very few.
(The ravages of the tropical ants and cock-roaches are then detailed from
the {v}information given by Mr. Smeathman, which I have thought it more
interesting to introduce with the descriptions of those insects in the
second volume.)
The _termites_ are another genus of insects, which some time or other
injure the traveller, and at least add to the number of his cares. These
wonderful creatures were little known till Mr. Smeathman developed their
extraordinary history. They were generally supposed to be a species of ant,
and in consequence so frequently confounded with the natural history of
that great genus of insects, that it has thrown much obscurity into both.
The ravages of these insects are so insidious, that travellers frequently
suffer irreparable damage before they are aware of them. When they are
previously informed, the depredations of those insects may be greatly
prevented; but constant care and caution are required, which is no small
addition to the number of cares that a collector must always have upon his
mind. I shall not pretend to go any further into the history of this genus
of insects, as I must necessarily borrow it from my ingenious friend's very
entertaining account of them, published last year in the seventy-first
volume, Part I. of the Philosophical Transactions, to which I refer my
reader.
To these obstacles, Mr. Smeathman adds others, some of which we can have
little idea of in these climates. The _Norway rats_ are so numerous and so
bold, that they will come and feed by the side of the table at supper, and
during the still hours of night, search every corner for plunder, making a
continual uproar, and often, in a kind of furor, carry away small utensils,
and other articles, which they can turn to no advantage either for food or
shelter. They are very mischievous to the naturalist's collection of plants
and seeds, tearing them and the books, in which they are kept, to pieces,
as it were in wantonness, and carrying away such as are edible, in which
they are often assisted by the land-crabs. These amphibious insects
frequently make holes for themselves, or use those made by the rats under
ground, and enter through the floors of the negroes' cottages.
In the rainy seasons many small animals are apt to take shelter in the
thatch; among others, _various species of snakes_, who most probably get
there in pursuit of the rats. Mr. Smeathman when on the African shore
observed, that the former were very harmless; and, as he found the latter
very mischievous and destructive, he would not suffer the snakes to be
killed or hunted out. The patient natives there, it seems, as well as the
rational travellers, are not without consolation amidst this heterogeneous
crowd of inmates. They see with pleasure the spiders always on the watch
for the wasps and cock-roaches, the last of which are intolerable. The
_lizards_, again, attack all sorts of insects, the large Tarantula, as it
is called, not excepted. The lizards not unfrequently fall a prey to the
_fowls_, and the rats to the snakes. Hence lizards, rats, snakes, and
land-crabs occasionally serve as delicious repasts to the improvident
inhabitants, who thus "thrive under evil."
Sometimes indeed the land-crab becomes, as in the West Indies, a part of
the stock of the provident and luxurious inhabitants, who inclose a small
piece of ground in the manner {vi}of a yard, and feed them with fruit,
herbs, Indian corn, and other grain, on which they fatten exceedingly, and
stewed in any manner are most delicious eating.
Thus a speculative man can find few opportunities of securing his
collections, or of making observations, while surrounded by the hospitable
chief, the trader, the planter, and their families, who scarce finding room
enough in their houses for themselves, think all time lost that is not
spent in lucrative business, active pleasures, or social festivity. If to
this we add frequent sickness, the want of boats or cattle for conveyance
in cases where moving without is impracticable; the want of information, of
guides, of assistance, the means of transporting things, of candlelights,
or even a table to write on, it will not be surprising we have so little
knowledge of the uncultivated tropical regions. Even travellers, who go
expressly to make observations, have other great difficulties to encounter.
They are sometimes obliged to pass much of their time in providing the mere
necessaries of life, and some in securing themselves from danger, while
their industry is always exposed to the avarice, the neglect, or the
ill-will of ignorant people, whose services, though poor, are not to be
easily dispensed with.
Sometimes the cottages have no windows, and the larger houses, which they
contrive to form in such manner as to receive the breezes, are generally
without glass; so that the student frequently has his subject, his pen, or
his paper blown away, with various other disappointments and vexations too
numerous and too trivial to mention, but altogether distressing, and in
many instances insurmountable.
As this is the case, we have not much reason to wonder that our accounts of
some foreign countries, and their natural productions, are so short and
imperfect. We must content ourselves with slight sketches, which, repeated
and corroborated by various travellers, may at last amount to one great
descriptive and useful work, of which those contained in this Preface are
offered only as so many scattered seeds.
(The various observations upon the economy of different species figured in
these Illustrations, and inserted in this Preface, have been respectively
introduced under the species to which they belonged.)

_Upper Side._ Antennæ brown. Head black, with eight whiteish spots on the
top. Thorax black, with four white spots at the base of the anterior
wings. Abdomen black at the base and at top, clay-coloured on the sides
and extremity. Anterior wings black at the base, but at the extremities
more of a brown colour, with eighteen different shaped marks and spots;
those next the body dark orange, the others yellow clay-coloured, some
being so faint as to be hardly discernible. Posterior wings slightly
dentated, the inner scollops being edged with clay-coloured crescents.
These wings, next the body, are of a dark orange; the remainder
clay-coloured, with a broad black border running round each wing, from
the upper corners to the abdominal ones; the inner sides being deeply
indented, and the outer ones scolloped, with eight roundish black spots
near the middle of each wing, one of which is supposed to be hid in the
figure.
_Under Side._ Head black, with two white spots in front. Palpi scarcely
discernible. Breast and sides black, spotted with yellow. Abdomen
clay-coloured. The middle of the superior wings has a black patch, on
which are three orange-coloured spots, answering to three on the upper
side; a long angular dark orange mark joins the anterior edges next the
body, close to which are two roundish black spots; the extreme parts of
these wings are of a dark greyish ash colour, the ribs being black.
Posterior wings clay-coloured, with eight black spots, answering to those
on the upper side: the black border being narrower on this side, and the
inner edges much deeper indented.
{2}This magnificent butterfly is so exceedingly rare that M. Boisduval,
whose knowledge of the European Collections is very extensive, questions
whether there exists any other specimen than that originally figured by
Drury. Mr. Jones also, whose splendid Collection of Drawings are so
frequently quoted by Fabricius, copied this insect, figuring both the upper
and under sides, which figures have been lately published by Mr. Donovan in
his Naturalist's Repository. Mr. Donovan also adds, that from the
manuscripts of Mr. Drury, "we find that he received this insect in 1775,
from Mr. Smeathman, an assiduous and very intelligent naturalist stationed
at Sierra Leone."
"From the observations of Mr. Smeathman it may be imagined that this insect
is not unfrequent in that particular part of Africa, but that its capture
is attended with considerable difficulty, as well from the manner of its
flight, as the time when it appears on the wing; it is seen only in
mid-day, when every exertion under the direct influence of a vertical sun
must be painful to an European. Its flight is also remarkable for its
velocity, and to increase the difficulty of taking it, the insect frequents
only the upper branches of the trees, from whence it darts and glances from
one branch to another, and never descends nearer to the ground than the
height of eight feet. Mr. Smeathman observes also, that it turns its head
about instantly to the glade or path, and will not suffer any person to
approach within 'striking distance' of it, but will dart away on the least
motion of the body; if the naturalist however exerts his patience, it will
at last become more familiar and careless, and is then to be caught upon
some particular branch, to which it will appear more attached than to
another."
Mr. Donovan however suggests, that the insect must be not only exceedingly
local, but also of great rarity.

according to the direction in which the light falls upon them, a purple,
red, blue, green, and white, the two latter being the predominant
colours. Anterior wings, along the external edges, black, with two pale
blueish spots thereon near the tips, and two round black spots on the
light part of the wings near the lower corners. Posterior wings with two
tails, and edged with a border of a brownish blue running from the upper

white; the smallest of which is placed near the tips, the other lower,
and towards the middle of the wing. A round black spot is also placed on
these wings near the body, which in the figure is hid. A shade of a
darker green, resembling a line, rises on these wings near the middle,
and, crossing the inferior ones, meets below the abdomen. Posterior wings
with two little eyes, placed near the upper and abdominal corners, having
a faint resemblance of a border of a brighter green placed along the
external edges. Wings angulated.
Linnæus appears to have confounded this African insect with an American
butterfly, figured by Mad. Merian, giving the name to the African species,
with the additional habits of the American one. The copy of Drury's work,
which belonged to Linnæus, late in the library of Sir J. E. Smith (by whom
the collections of the great Swede were purchased), and now in that of the
Linnæan Society, contains a pencil note, by its late possessor, of
reference of this figure to the Anacardii of Linnæus.

One-third of the superior wings next the body brown; apical half brownish
black. These two colours divided by a white band or bar, which, beginning
at the anterior edges, crosses these wings, and runs half way down the
posterior ones, being edged with blue. Posterior wings furnished with two
tails, the lower part of them being of a dark orange; next the body
brown, and next the upper corners almost black. There are also two small
eyes on these wings; one near the abdominal corners, the other at the
middle of the external edges.
_Under Side._ Palpi and tongue yellow brown. Breast and abdomen brown.
Legs next the body brown, the extreme joints almost white. Wings next the
body brown for about half an inch, when they suddenly become white, and
gradually alter in colour to a blueish, and then to a dark brown all
along their external edges, where the inferior wings have several small
spots and eyes. Wings dappled with an innumerable quantity of small
streaks. Wings angulated.
Mr. Smeathman states that this species was taken at a considerable distance
from the coast, and that it is exceedingly scarce.

Mr. Donovan has lately published figures of the upper and under side of
this butterfly (which closely resemble each other) in his Naturalist's
Repository. These figures do not however represent the peculiar character
of the posterior pair of wings, neither is the author correct in his
chronological account of this species, as Drury's account and figure were
published ten years previous to the Entomologia Systematica, in which work
alone of Fabricius is the species mentioned. I have consequently retained
the specific designation imposed by Drury, and adopted by the authors of
the Encyclopédie Méthodique.

_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Thorax and abdomen nearly black. The
external part of the wings black, but next the body of a blueish cast. A
blueish white bar, about a third of an inch in breadth, rises in the
superior wings, and, crossing the inferior, meets just below the abdomen.
At the tips of the former are five small oblong whiteish spots, and two
larger, placed close to the forementioned bar, but separated from it by
the tendons of the wing. Posterior wings furnished with four short tails
of equal length, having four small white spots at the abdominal corners,
and a small yellow crescent about the middle of the external edge.
_Under Side._ Palpi, legs, and breast white. Abdomen brown. Anterior
wings next the body of a blueish ash-colour, which becomes darker as it
approaches the external edges. Half these wings next the body, is adorned
with many differently shaped spots of a dirty red, verged with black. A
range of not less than seven oblong black spots is situated along the
external edges, and the whiteish bar, visible on the upper side, is here
to be seen, but not so regular. The ground of the posterior wings is the
same colour as the anterior, with several reddish spots differently
shaped, and verged with black. Anterior edges white, and along the
external edges are a number of small black spots and streaks not to be
distinctly described.
The name of Etheocles, which Drury applied to this insect, without any
reference to Fabricius, had been previously employed by that author for a
distinct but nearly allied species, which he indeed regarded as identical
with Drury's insect. The distinctions between the two species were first
pointed out in the Encyclopédie Méthodique, in which work the name adopted
above was given to Drury's insect.

HABITAT: "Sierra Leone, Mr. Smeathman, 1776" (_Drury's_ MSS.).
_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Head yellowish. Thorax and abdomen brown;
the former having two white spots near the neck, and two more at a little
distance. The latter having several white spots, placed in pairs down to
the anus. Wings fine flesh-coloured; anterior tipped with black, and
verged with the same colour along their anterior and external edges. They
are also clouded with black next the body, and have eleven distinct black
spots on each, one of which next the tips is very long. Posterior wings
having a broad black fringe along the external edges, and eleven distinct
black spots on each, some of which are very small.
_Under Side._ Palpi yellow brown. Legs black and yellow. Breast black,
spotted with white on its side. Wings nearly coloured as on the upper
side; the anterior being not quite so brilliant, nor so strongly tipped
with black. All the black spots on the outside of these wings are also
seen here; but the black clouds next the body are wanting. Posterior
wings next the body tinged with orange, and the black spots are much
larger and more distinct and numerous than on the outside. Black fringe
on the external edges, with seven white spots placed regularly, close to
each other.
According to Mr. Smeathman, this butterfly and that represented in figures
3 and 4 of this plate, and indeed all the "Heliconii," are found in great
numbers in those places where they breed, and are observed to bask and
sport as much as possible in the sunshine, retiring towards sunset in great
crowds to particular bushes. They breed chiefly in recent plantations, and
near towns in general, so that, comparatively speaking, few of them are
found in the ancient forests. Such however as inhabit them fly about the
tops of the highest trees, seeking the honey from their flowers, and are
seldom seen below.

_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Thorax black, with a row of four faint white
spots next the neck. Abdomen at the base black, with yellow spots on the
sides, the extremity being yellowish. Anterior wings very dark brown,
almost black, clouded with faint dark orange marks and dark yellow spots,
particularly along the external edges. Posterior wings deep orange,
clouded with black next the body, and a deep black border along the
external edges, with a row of eight small red spots running along the
middle of it: these wings have also seven, eight, or more black spots on
them.
_Under Side._ Palpi yellowish. Breast black, spotted with white on its
sides. Anterior wings dusky orange-brown along the external edges,
whereon is a row of dark orange oval spots, a whiteish cloud next them,
and several different shaped black spots on the other part of the wings.
Posterior wings cream-coloured, verged along the external edges with
black, whereon is a row of white spots, and above it a row of small and
very faint red ones: these wings next the body have a patch of a deep
black, spotted with white, and verged with faint orange, and also several
black spots.
This insect has been regarded as the Zetes of Linnæus; it does not appear
however to agree with the Linnæan description, in which the anterior wings
are said to be "nebulosis, punctatis:" nor with the habitat "in Indiis"
given of that species.

almost black: a white bar rises on the anterior ones near the tips, and
running parallel with the external edges crosses the posterior ones, and
ends just below the abdomen, gradually widening. Posterior wings at the
abdominal corners tipped with orange, and having a double row of narrow
white crescents along the external edges; the anterior wings having only
a single row.
_Under Side._ Palpi white. Breast and legs grey-brown. Abdomen yellowish.
The white bar and row of crescents nearly as on the upper side, but all
the brown parts are prettily spotted and variegated with red-brown spots
of different shapes; the general colour of the wings being a greyish
brown. Wings dentated.
Fabricius cites Drury's collection alone for this species, incorrectly
giving India as its habitat. Drury had previously stated it to have been
received from Sierra Leone. Donovan, relying upon the former rather than
the latter, figured the insect in his "Epitome of the Insects of India."

and the abdominal corners.
The locality given by our author is evidently correct, because he was

the body verged with dark brown, which, at the extremity, {20}joins to a
streak about three-fourths of an inch long, running from these edges
towards the centre of the wing, near to which is placed two darkish round
spots. Posterior wings having a row of dark crescents placed along the
external edges, which becomes double near the abdominal corners; and a
row of faint whiteish streaks crossing them from the anterior to the
abdominal edges, meeting about an inch below the body.
_Under Side._ Palpi, legs, breast, and abdomen white. Wings coloured as
on the upper side. The two round spots on the anterior ones are black;
and the row of faint-coloured streaks crossing the posterior ones are
here very strong; each streak being white, and placed on a brown ground,
edged with yellow. Margins of the wings slightly dentated.
Fabricius, in the Entomologia Systematica, described two butterflies under
the name of Papilio (N.) Laertes, No. 226. from Surinam figured by Cramer,
and No. 262, from South America, figured by Drury. As the former species
had the priority in point of date, Fabricius, in the alphabetical index to
that work, altered the name of Drury's insect to Epistrophus. By the
establishment, however, of the genus Morpho, comprising the insect figured
by Drury, the difficulty is obviated, and as the species is universally
known under the name of Laertes, it does not appear requisite to adopt the
name of Epistrophus.

black. Anterior wings black, but of a fine shining blue at the base. A
streak of a beautiful red colour crosses these wings from the middle of
the anterior edges to the lower corners, stopping at a little distance
therefrom. Posterior wings black, with a most beautiful blue patch on
them next the body.
_Under Side._ Palpi black. Mouth white. Tongue and breast black. Abdomen
white. Anterior wings nearly coloured as on the upper side, but next the
body verged with white. A white streak also crosses them near the tips;
and at a small distance from the body is placed a small round spot of a
most beautiful red colour. Posterior wings black, with white lines
running along the abdominal and outer edges. The centre is adorned with
four small round spots, three blue, one white, surrounded by a white line
in a oval form. Wings slightly dentated.
{21}Drury referred this insect to the then unpublished Papilio Hydaspes, on
the authority of Fabricius's handwriting, (his specimen having most
probably been thus labelled by that author.) The authors of the
Encyclopédie Méthodique also cite Drury's figure under Hydaspes. Fabricius,
however, cites only the Banksian Cabinet, and Mr. Donovan's figure taken
from the Banksian specimen, and published in the Naturalist's Repository,
Vol. 2. Pl. 60. convinces us that Drury's insect is specifically distinct
from that described by Fabricius, although evidently identical with the
insect described as Hydaspes in the Encyclopédie Méthodique. Under these
circumstances I have considered it most advisable to retain the name of
Hydaspes for Drury's insect, under which name it was known for the space of
ten years before the publication of the Fabrician Hydaspes, to which a new
specific name must be applied. As there are several other nearly allied
Brazilian species, it is not impossible that Fabricius, from recollection
alone, applied the name of Hydaspes to Drury's specimen, having previously
described the insect from the Banksian Cabinet, the under surface of which
especially is very different from that figured by Donovan.

Thorax and abdomen greenish brown. Anterior wings angulated, and black,

irregular indented yellow bar crosses them from the middle of the
anterior edges to the middle of the external ones; and near the tips are
placed two white spots, one large, of an oval shape, and a small round
one. Posterior wings with two tails, chiefly of a yellow-brown colour,
but having a black circular patch placed along the external edges, and
reaching nearly from the abdominal to the upper corners, whereon are
placed three white crescents and a small round spot.
_Under Side._ Palpi yellowish. Tongue dark brown. Legs yellowish. Breast
dark brown. Abdomen yellowish. Wings ornamented with such a variety of
soft colours, as renders it impossible to describe them minutely.
The transformations of this curious species have been figured by Stoll in
his supplementary volume to Cramer. The caterpillar is of a dark green,
with a black dorsal line and lateral spots of the same colour. The head is
black, with two yellow spots, and furnished with two short obtuse spines.
It lives upon a plant called "poirvier," feeding {22}only by night,
remaining during the day concealed in a kind of case, which it forms by
rolling up a leaf. The chrysalis is short, and thick, without angular
prominences, of a grey colour, with black dots. It attaches itself by the
tail to the stem of the plant upon which it feeds.
Fabricius erroneously gives India as the habitat of this species, whence
Donovan has introduced it into his work upon the insects of that country.

This insect belongs to the subgenus Eudamus proposed by Mr. Swainson, in

respect to differ from that which he has figured under the name of Eudamus
Doryssus. He observes that the type of this group is the Hesperia Proteus
Fabr.; that all the species, of which there are nearly thirty, are from
America; that their flight is exceedingly rapid in the morning and evening,
and that they rest with their wings perpendicular. Drury, on the other
hand, gives Sierra Leone as the habitat, and adds, moreover, on the
authority of Mr. Smeathman, that this species, like the last, sports in the
sun, and is remarkable for the very rapid short flights it takes from bush
to bush, so as to be caught with great difficulty. In his manuscripts,
however, I find this species marked as being from "Madras, Mr. Skeene,
1772."

inferior wings, but is bordered with black on that side near the tips.
Posterior wings yellowish brown, prettily variegated with very small
lighter marks and spots, with a small faint blueish indented line running
along the external borders.
The original Fabrician description of this insect is stated to have been
derived from an insect from Cayenne in the collection of Mr. Yeats; and in
the Fabrician detailed description, we find the wings characterized
thus--"macula magna, _in medio_, fulva, anticæ subtus concolores." It
appears, however, from the observations of Donovan that the celebrated
iconographer Jones had made a drawing of Yeats's specimen, from which
drawing Donovan published his illustration of the species in the
Naturalist's Repository, with the following observations:--"There was a
variety of this insect pretty nearly, but not exactly, according with this
in the collection of an old and well-known entomologist, a figure of which
appeared shortly after the publication of the Fabrician writings as the
true Papilio {34}Pyramus. It was not precisely the same as it appeared to
us from an inspection of the specimen in the Cabinet of Mr. Drury." Making
due allowance for Donovan's over-charged colouring, there is still
considerable difference between the figures of Drury and Donovan; in the
former the fore-wings being almost entirely red on the under side, whilst
in the latter, the upper side of same wings is red, except at the tips. In
both these particulars, as will at once be seen from the above quotation of
Fabricius, Drury's figure perfectly agrees with the character given of
Yeats's specimen; whilst Donovan's differs in each respect. The female of
this species is destitute of the purple gloss on the upper surface of the
wings, and the red band does not run into the posterior pair.

white collar. Thorax and abdomen greyish clay-coloured. Anterior wings
the same, but towards their extremities becoming darker; the tips are
angulated, and the edges a little scolloped; a dark line rises near the
tips, which running across the wings ends near the middle of the
posterior edges, but is there much fainter than at the tips. A small
triangular transparent spot is situate near the centre of these wings,
about three-eighths of an inch from the anterior edges. Posterior wings a
little scolloped, being the same colour with the anterior next the
abdomen, but darker towards the external edges. In the middle of these
wings is a large eye, the pupil being black like velvet, surrounded with
a narrow circle of a dark orange, round which is another cream-coloured
circle, and this likewise is surrounded by a large border of a fine
red-brown.

the transparent one mentioned in the preceding description, and the dark
line there mentioned is conspicuous on this side. Posterior wings
coloured as the anterior, becoming darker towards the external edges. A
pale indented border runs along the external edges, similar to that on
the anterior wings. On the middle of these wings are four dark brown
spots, two small and two large, being placed opposite to the eyes
observed on the upper side; and just below them a dark line runs across
from the upper corners to the middle of the abdominal edges.

I have adopted the Fabrician specific name, notwithstanding its subsequent
date, that proposed by Cramer being exceedingly inapplicable. Drury states,
on the authority of Mr. Smeathman, that this curious insect was found on
the island of Banana. Its flight is exceedingly slow, and its tails seem
rather to impede it. Mr. Donovan states that several specimens of this
insect had been received from Sierra Leone (which habitat is given by Drury
in the body of his work, but corrected as above in the observations
communicated to him by Mr. Smeathman) and that he is not aware of the
species having occurred in any other part of Africa, neither had he
understood that any other collector since Mr. Smeathman had met with the
species. Of the original specimens a pair belonged to Mr. Drury, which came
into the hands of Mr. Donovan, who also mentions a fine specimen as
existing in the Banksian Cabinet at the Linnæan Society; adding, that some
few other specimens passed into different continental Cabinets, all of
which, however, were those collected by Mr. {40}Smeathman. The late Mr.
Haworth, however, (the sale of whose magnificent collection by public
auction lasted for ten days,) possessed four specimens of this rare moth, a
pair of which were purchased by W. Swainson, Esq., and the remaining pair
by myself.

_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Thorax greenish. Abdomen white, spotted on
the upper part with black. Basal half of the wings ash-coloured, and
bordered with deep red-brown. Anterior wings having a row of six orange
spots along the external edges, and two oval ones near the middle of the
anterior edges; two black spots, shaped like the beards of arrows, are
situated in the centre. Posterior wings angulated and furnished with two
short tails, having a row of five black spots running parallel with the
external edges. Wings not indented.
_Under Side._ Palpi, breast, and legs buff-coloured. Abdomen white. Wings
next the body dark ash-coloured, but along the tips and external edges
darker. A narrow line of a brown colour rises from the posterior edges of
the anterior wings, and, bending towards the tips, is lost in the general
colour of that part of the wings. A row of small faint black spots runs
parallel with the external edges, being situated between them and the
fore-mentioned dark line; the inner divisions of these and the posterior
wings have a number of small black marks, like Hebrew characters,
regularly dispersed on them. Posterior wings with a dark narrow line
rising on the anterior edges, which crosses the wings, meeting below the
abdomen. A small black eye, with a white pupil, is placed near the middle
of the anterior edges, and a row of faint oval dark spots runs parallel
with the external edges, ending at the abdominal corners.
{43}This insect, like the last, flies exceedingly swift, and is observed
sometimes to settle upon human excrement, a peculiar habit which is also
adopted by other species of insects belonging to different orders.

The authors of the Encyclopédie Méthodique evidently knew the species only
from Drury's figures and descriptions, and therefore have given the former
locality. It is difficult to account for this contradictory statement, or
to assert which of these localities is the correct one.

In Drury's manuscripts, which have come into my hands, it is stated that
this insect was brought from Sierra Leone by Mr. Smeathman, and that "the
original insect from which this figure was taken is destroyed, and was of a
much livelier colour than those which I judge to be varieties of Cynthius."

colour grey, faintly tinged with red. Anterior wings with a remarkable
irregular black bar running from the tips to the shoulders, crossing the
thorax horizontally, and parallel with the anterior edges; on the middle
of this edge is a triangular dark brown spot edged with black, and nearer
the body is a smaller one of the same shape and colour: a second narrower
black line is situate about half an inch below, and parallel with the
first, rising on the posterior edges, and extending across the wings
almost to the external ones. Posterior wings with a black irregular bar
arising near the external corners, and crossing them in a straight
direction, meeting at the extremity of the abdomen; just above this, and
almost close to it, is a very small and narrow waved black line running
parallel with it, but towards the end suddenly turns off, and reaches the
anterior edges. Besides the above markings there are a number of lighter
and darker shades interspersed on the different parts of the wings.

Head cream-coloured at top, and black underneath, being full
three-fourths of an inch in length, from the neck to the extremity of the
two horns which issue from the fore part of it, the sides of which are
furnished with two other thick horns which are shorter than the former.
Eyes black, and situated so as to discern above and beneath. Antennæ
black. Thorax an inch and a half long, cream-coloured, having a thin,
sharp, black edge all round; on the top are six longitudinal black
streaks differently shaped, separated by cream-coloured lines, the middle
ones being narrowest, on each side of which near the lateral edge is a
small single black spot; the under part of the thorax is cream-coloured.
Scutellum of a longish triangular shape, and cream-coloured. Elytra
cream-coloured, with a broad black streak like velvet, about a third of
their breadth, running near the lateral edges from the shoulders to the
tips. On each side the scutellum is a small black oblong spot, at about
one-third of an inch from it. Legs dark green, finely polished. The hairs
on the middle and hind thighs and tibiæ dark orange. Abdomen dark green.
Abdominal scales [posterior coxæ] the same; on which, close to the joints
of the hinder thighs, are two small cream-coloured spots. Sternum long,
and of a dark green colour.
I have ventured, on the authority of several distinguished entomologists,
to give this insect as a species distinct from Goliathus maximus, figured
in the first volume of these Illustrations, Pl. 31. It is true, indeed,
that both are from the tropical districts of the western coast of Africa,
and that both exhibit the same general structure and form of the horns,
(the variations of which constitute the chief specific differences in these
cornuted species). Drury evidently at first regarded it as specifically
distinct, for he says, in his observation upon it, "This insect is of the
same genus with that described in Vol. 1. Pl. XXXI., but I judge it to be a
different species," although in the synoptical appendix to the volume he
calls it "a variety of Goliathus," the markings are very different, as may
be seen by comparing the two figures; but it might be considered that the
specimen represented in the first volume was a rubbed individual of that
here figured; this, however, is evidently not the case, because in both
descriptions Drury expressly describes the dark part of the elytra as
resembling velvet, which could not be the case if the specimen was
{55}rubbed. Moreover, a very fine and recent specimen corresponding with
the present figure has lately been received by Mr. Havill, of Oxford
Street, printseller and naturalist, who has demanded the sum of fifty
pounds for it. The individual here figured is in the collection of Mr.
MacLeay, to whom I have been indebted for a sight of it, and by whose
father it was purchased at the sale of Mr. Drury's collection at the price
of £12. 1_s._ 6_d._, forming lot 95, in the first day's sale, Thursday May
23, 1805, and described in the catalogue as "Scarabæus Goliathus, var." I
have also seen in the Royal Museum at Berlin a female of this genus having
the head unarmed, and agreeing in colour and markings with the insect here
figured, but which is regarded by Dr. Klug as a species distinct from the
Goliath. maximus, and which he has recently described in Ermann's Voyage.

Antennæ black, slender, and thickest at the extremities. Head, neck, and
thorax yellowish brown, with a black longitudinal stripe running along
the middle. Four palpi, two of which are short; the other two long,
slender, and knobbed at the extremities. Thorax nearly covered with grey
hairs. Abdomen yellowish brown; but, when the insect was living, was
probably green. Wings of equal length, the anterior being broadest, all
marked with a great number of red-brown spots, and clouds of various
shapes and sizes, and appearing to be composed of fine lattice-work like
gauze, and perfectly transparent where they are not clouded. Legs nearly
of equal length, having two strong tibial spurs.
This is the insect referred to in the observations upon Myrmeleon
Libelluloides figured in Vol. 1. tab. 46. fig. 1. as having been regarded
by Drury and Fabricius as a variety of that South-Europæan species. That
they are specifically distinct both in their habitat and characters will
not, I think, be doubted. The peculiar dilatation of the extremity of the
posterior wings is a curious character not found in the Libelluloides.

Head dark brown. Jaws strong: two of the palpi are long, the other two

prominent. Thorax and abdomen brown-black. Abdominal peduncle short. In
the specimen figured the sting was exserted, curved, and furnished with
two short clavate instruments at its base. Wings thin, and diaphanous.
Legs yellow-brown, and furnished with a great number of short spines from
the claws to the base of the tibiæ. Tibiæ with two spurs, except those of
the fore-legs, which have but one.
Fabricius has described an insect from South America, under the name of
Pepsis Heros, which nearly agrees with this species, with the following
reference--"Sphex Securus, Drury Ins. . tab. . fig. ." It will be
sufficient to observe that Drury has described no such insect, although it
is probable that Fabricius, who was on terms of intimacy with our author,
might have seen the unpublished figure of such insect in his possession.
Mr. Smeathman informed our author that he was once stung in the finger by
one of these insects, but the pain was not so severe as might have been
expected from a wound made by so large a creature belonging to this genus.
His method, when stung by any insects in Africa, was to open the puncture
with a lancet, and squeeze out the blood and venom together, which, when
effectually done, soon caused the pain to abate.

This insect (which appears to be a queen or female ant) is nearly allied to
a very celebrated South American species, which, from visiting the houses
of the inhabitants in great swarms, is termed the visiting ant. (Atta

Leone, and was taken on the awning on the following morning. It seems to be
unknown to the French Entomologists, and is omitted in the "Monographie des
Cétoines" of Messrs. Gory and Perchéron.

Head dark cream colour, with two black lines from the front to the hinder
part. Thorax dark cream, with two waved bands crossing it from side to
side, of a darker colour. Scutellum very large, and entirely covering the
abdomen. This part is high and rounded, of the same colour with the rest
of the insect, having a number of oval, circular, and other shaped marks
thereon. Beneath dark-cream; breast and fore-part lightest. Rostrum
extending below the hinder legs, all of which are of the same dark cream
colour with the other parts.
There is some confusion as to the specific names of the insects composing
the present genus. The Tetyra Argus of Fabricius, with which the species
here figured (from Sierra Leone) was considered identical by Drury, is an
inhabitant of South America. Dr. Burmeister has also confused it with a
species from the Cape of Good Hope.

HABITAT:
Head appearing united and fixed to the body, and furnished with a horny
beak, about one-fourth the length of the whole insect. Antennæ of equal
thickness, and apparently only two-jointed; one next the head, which is
white, another in the middle, the extreme part being black; the length
being about a tenth part of the whole insect. Body white, and covered
with a very fine cottony substance. Legs white at the base, the remainder
black. The insect above is round, beneath flat; a fine soft white
substance, like down, intermixed with hairs of different sizes, some
being very small, others very coarse, arises from the abdomen.
"I am not certain it is a complete insect."--_Drury._
This figure represents an insect belonging to the genus Flata (probably
Flata nigricornis from South America) in an imperfect state, being most
likely a pupa. The species of this genus are ascertained to be similar to
this figure in their preparatory states, and especially the Flata
nigricornis which is represented by Stoll, both in the winged and apterous

HABITAT: "Sierra Leone, Mr. Smeathman, 1776" (_Drury's_ MSS.).
Head small, black, thin, and margined from the part where the antennæ are
placed; but behind them to the thorax growing suddenly thick and round.
Antennæ strongly pectinated, each ramification increasing from the base
towards the middle, and then gradually decreasing in length; they are
about a third part of the insect's length, and entirely black. Thorax
grey, rounded, having a ridge on each side, and seeming covered with a
fine pile or down. Scutellum grey and round, appearing like a whiteish
spot. Elytra dark red-brown, covered with a multitude of small whiteish
spots, furrowed and margined at the sides and suture. Breast and abdomen
grey, each ring of the latter having some black spots on it. Legs brown
above, grey beneath.
I have attached a mark of doubt to all the synonyms quoted above, 1st. on
account of the difference of locality between Drury's Insect, and that
described by Fabricius, which is from New Holland. 2ndly. Because Drury's
description does not agree with the true Rh. mystacina: and 3dly. because
as there is another spotted species of the genus found in North America,
described by Laporte, it is most probable that Drury's insect is altogether
distinct, in which case I have proposed for it the name of Rhipicera
Druræi. Mr. Kirby speaks of the New Holland species of this genus as though
there were more than one, and he has described one from that country under
the name of R. femorata, in the 12th volume of the Linn. Trans. No. 9. in
which the thorax, as well as the elytra, is spotted with white, whereas the
thorax of Mystacina is described by Fabricius as being "cinereus." The Rh.
mystacina of Laporte entirely agrees with Mr. Kirby's Rh. femorata. The Rh.
femorata of Dalman is a totally distinct species from Brazil, and as it is
necessary that a new specific name should be given to it, I would suggest
that it should be termed Rh. Dalmanni.

like stubbed horns, on the sides, trifurcate at the tip. It is likewise
furnished with two short pointed and black horns that are placed directly
over the eyes, and two smaller ones a little below them. It appears as if
it had four eyes; two fixed, and of a grey colour like horn; just below
which the other two (seeming eyes) are placed. They are black and
moveable, but are the antennæ, and are perfectly round. Hemelytra dirty
green at the base, with some dusky red patches irregularly placed; but
near the extremity having a large patch of a dark orange colour. The
wings are black, but next the body red, with some red spots in the centre
of them. Rostrum horny, lying between the legs, even with and close to
the breast. Tongue seeming to proceed from the mouth, and much smaller
than the other instrument (labium), being as small and fine as a hair.
Feet formed for walking.
There is a confusion in the works of the earlier authors relative to the
native country of this species; Linnæus and Fabricius stating it to be
India, whilst Stoll records Surinam, Drury, Cayenne, during that it and
others figured by him were collected by Mons. Mallouet, {79}who sent them
to Europe, but in their passage they were taken by the Shaftesbury
privateer, and afterwards sold by public auction, where he purchased them.
Donovan states that two specimens he possessed were taken in Brazil; and
Dr. Burmeister still more satisfactorily says, "Gleichfalls aus
_Sud-Amerika_ findet sich besonders haufig auf den Cautschuck-Baumen
(Siphonia elastica)."

NOTES.
[1] Thus confirming my observations on this insect in vol. 1. p. 68. (J. O.
W.)
[2] Drury however received many insects from Brazil as well as Madras by
Mr. Skeene.
[3] "Banks of the Morea, up the Mediterranean," in the text. Edit. 1.
[4] I believe this species to belong to the genus Magasoma. _Bdv._
