My valuable friend, the Rev. Revett Sheppard, first found this 

 insect. I afterwards took a specimen upon the hazle-ntit, and 

 Mr. Spence met with it upon the same shrub in Yorkshire. 



It is considerably smaller than Apion rufirosire: the body is 

 without hairs ; the knob of the antennae, the tarsi, and the elytra, 

 are black; in other respects it much resembles that species.
