The figmes willrender any addition to the specific character unnecessary. I have named this insect to commemorate a most assiduousand observing entomologist of the last age, Moses Harris,whose memory will be long cherished by our Aurelians, andto whom the scientific are indebted for the very accurateand excellent figures contained both in his own works, andin those of Drury; indeed, he appears the only Englishartist who has faithfully represented the short and nearlyconcealed palpi peculiar to tliis genus. The son of thisexcellent artist *, still follows the profession of his father,and, inheriting his abilities, deserves every encouragementthat the small circle of English entomologists, as well asothers, can give him. * Mr. Moses Harris, artist, 28, Mansion-House Street,
