Var. a. Thorax rufous, immaculate ; head black. 



This species I might have referred to C. /urcatus of Fabr., 

 had he not quoted for Uufola a figure of Olivier's which agrech 

 ver3- well with this insect; an agreement to which, when com- 

 bined with the accompanying description, no doubt can be 

 attached. 



Is not /it rr at us the same insect? I should suppose the species 

 named comma to be also closely allied to it.
