This very fingular creature is a Cimex of Linnæus. It is a rare fpecies, and has only been defcribed by
Fabricius, who places it in the new genus Reduvius a.
» Linnæus comprehends under the general title dm ix , a variety of infects, very oppofite in appearance, though not effentially
different ; and to avoid confufion in the arrangement of thefe diffimilar fpecies in the same genus, he feparates them into eleven
diftinft families, under thc names of Aj.Un, ScuttlM, cdcopiraû, &c. Fabricius, throughout all his works, endeavours to divide
the Linnæan Cimices, and finally, in thc EniomcUgia Sy/icmnûca, he refers them to the following genera, AcaniUa, Cimex, Coreus,
hygttus, Miris, Gerris, and Kiduvius.
