24. CIMEX oblongus fuscus, pedibus primi paris cheliformibus.

La punaise à patres de crabe.

Longueur 3 lignes. Largeur 1 1/2 ligne.

On ne peut rien voir de plus singulier que cette espece.

Sa couleur est brune, semblable à celles des dernieres. Sa tête est petite, avec des antennes composées de quatre articles; le premier très court, & le dernier gros, ce qui fait paroître les antennes comme figurées en masse. Le corcelet est large, avec des rebords élevés; il va postérieurement en s'évasant. On y voit des cannelures au nombre de cinq, élevées & enfoncées alternativement, & le bord oû elles aboutissent, est godronné; enforte que ce corcelet, vû de près, ressemble à ces coquilles des pèlerins de S. Jacques. Le ventre ensoncé & courbé en nacelle, avec des rebords élevés, est beaucoup plus large que les étuis; mais la plus grande singularité de cet insecte, consiste dans ses pattes de devant, qui font courtes, larges, avec un crochet ou une pince au bout, sans onglets semblable aux pattes de crabe. Ce seul caractère suffit pour reconnoître cette punaise, qu' on trouve dans les bois.

56. CIMEX ex albo fuscoque cinereus, elytrorum; thoracisque margine punctato, antennis subclavatis.

La punaise tigre.

Longueur 1 1/7 lignes. Largeur 3/5 ligne.

La forme de celle-ci approche de celle de la précédente, mais ses antennes font très-différentes. Sa tête & le dessous de son corps sont noirs & ses pattes sont brunes. Le corcelet est noir au milieu, & blanc sur les côtés. Outre cela, on voit fur la longueur de ce corcelet, trois sillons élevés, comme dans l'espéce précédente; mais les deux des côtés ne vont pas jusqu'à la tête. Les étuis sont blancs, diaphanes, imitans le reseau, avec leurs bords ponctués de noir. Les antennes ont leurs deux premiers articles courts; le troisième très-long, & le quatrième court & fort gros; ce qui donne à l'antenne la figure d'une massue. La larve de cette punaise habite l'intérieur des fleurs du chamaedrys, qui avant de s'ouvrir, paroissent plus grosses & plus gonflées qu'à l'ordinaire, lorsque cette larve y est renfermée.

Abridged History Of Insects Located Near Paris In Which The Animals Are Arranged According To A Methodical Order First Volume

24. CIMEX oblong dark, first pair of feet in the form of chelicera.

(This is later given the specific epithet clavicornis. The larva of Jaapiella veronicae may have been confused with those of this species.)

The bug with crab feet.

Length 3 lignes (~7mm). Width 1.5 lignes (~3.5mm).

Nothing can be more singular than to see this species.

Its color is brown, similar to those of last. His head is small, with antennas composed of four segments, the first very short, and the last large, making the antennas appear as figured by weight. The thorax is wide, with raised edges, it goes in posteriorly flaring. One sees grooves five in number, alternately sunk & raised, and the edge where they lead, is gadrooned; thorax insomuch that, seen up close, like the shells of pilgrims from S. Jacques. The belly ensoncé & curved platform with high edges, is much broader than carrying cases, but the greatest peculiarity of this insect is in its front legs, which are short, broad, with a hook or a clamp to end, without tabs similar to crab legs. This single character is enough to acknowledge this bug, that one finds in the woods.

56. CIMEX of dark white to grey, having elytra; thorax of vegetable punctuate, antennae clubbed.

(This is later given the specific epithet of crassipes.)


 * table 34, figures 1-4
 * table 34, figures 1-4
 * table 34, figures 1-4

The tiger bug.

Length 1.15 lignes (~2.6mm). Width 0.6 lignes (~1.4mm).

The form of this species approaches that of the previous one (chartreuse bug), but its antennae are very different.

The head and underside of its body are black and its legs are brown. The thorax is black in the middle, and white on the sides. Additionally, one sees upon the length of the thorax, three high ridges, as in the preceding species, but the two sides do not extend to the head. The sheaths are white, diaphanous, with the appearance of a network, with their edges dotted with black. The antennas have their first two segments short, the third very long, and the fourth short and very fat, which gives the antenna the figure of a club. The larva of the bug resides within the flowers of Teucrium chamaedrys which before opening, appear larger and more swollen than usual, where the larva is enclosed.

Tome Douzième

Deux-Cent Soixante-Neuv (Me G.)

Phymate; phymata. Fabricius a nommé ce genre syrtis: je lui conserve la dénomination de phymate, que je lui avois consacrée avant que cet illustre naturaliste eût publié son Système des ryngotes. Les phymates ont leurs antennes terminées par un article plus gros en massue ovale, et se logeant dans un sillon latéral pratiqué à la télé et au corselet.

Les pattes antérieures ont leurs cuisses renflées, comprimées et terminées par une pièce crochue, mobile, se courbant en dessous, pour faire l'office de pince, et saisir les insectes dont les phymates font leur proie de la même manière que les mantes. La forme du corps est celle des corés. L'abdomen est dilaté vers le milieu des côtés, qui sont relevés, de sorte qu'il est un peu en nacelle.

On trouve ces insectes sur différentes plantes: quelques espèces de l'Amérique septentrionale paroissent devoir faire un nouveau genre.

Two Hundred Sixty-Nine (Me G.)

Phymate; phymata. Fabricius named this kind syrtis: I will keep the name phymate, which I had consecrated before the illustrious naturalist had published his System of ryngotes. The phymates have their antennae terminated by an article in the biggest club oval, and staying in a lateral sulcus carried on the télé and the thorax.

The forelegs have their thighs swollen, compressed and terminated by a hooked piece, mobile, curving below, in the function of pliers, and the phymates seize the insects on which they prey in the same manner as the mantis. The body shape is that of the corés. The abdomen is distended in the middle of the sides, which are raised, so it is a little basket.

These insects are found on different plants: some species of North America appear to need a new genus.
