NOTICE OF THE SPECIES OF CAKABUS, OCCURRING AROUND 



LONDON. 



B-X G. STOCKLEY, ESQ. 



If this notice should prove acceptable to the pages of your interesting 

 publication, in my next communication I will forward a similar one of the 

 species of Chrysomela and Coccinella, that I have met with in the same 

 locality. 



Of the sixteen species of this genus, according to Shuckard, (seventeen of 

 some authors,) I have met with but eight in my rambles in this vicinity, 

 which I have assiduously examined ; for the order to which they belong was, 

 I believe, about the first that engaged my attention in this instructive pur- 

 suit, as it has doubtless done many of your readers, often, perhaps, on 

 account of the facility of their capture and preservation. 



Cardbus violaceus. A pretty generally distributed species, occurring more 

 in lanes and meadows than woods ; not uncommon at the foot of old walls 

 around fields. 



C. nemoralis. In this locality, a very abundant species ; common in lanes 

 in spring and autumn. 



C. catenulatus. A very common species in woods, as the former is in lanes. 

 In March 1847, I found about a dozen hybemating at the root of a tree in 

 Hainault forest, 



C. monilis. Common at the foot of old walls, lanes, &c., especially in 

 autumn. 



C. consitus. Found in company with the preceding, which it somewhat 

 resembles, but is smaller. It appears to be scarce in this distxict.
