﻿tennae, as in Oiiocerus o^Kithy, but I believe no one has before 

 observed the elongation of the Srd joint in Ci.rius. I am not 

 aware that the oeconomy of this group is known, yet the per- 

 fect insects are not uncommon, frequenting trees and shrubs ; 

 they rest with their wings closed, which they open to make 

 short flights, and are assisted in rising by their hind legs. 



These pretty insects seem to vary so much, and each often 

 bears so considerable a resemblance in markings to the other, 

 that it is difficult to say which are genuine species. The fol- 

 lowing however are recorded as such, and 1 have several others 

 which I shall not venture to name until more attention has 

 been jv^id to them. I may here observe that the Flafa serra- 

 tulcc of Fab. probably belongs to this genus, and I liave been 

 wrong in admitting the F. musiva of Germar into niy list. 



1. Cynosbatis Fab. Eiit. Sijst. 4. 41. 61. 



2. nervosus Linn.—Panz. 103. 6. 



3. cunicularius hinn. S^st. Nat. 2. 711. — nervoso-punctata 

 De Gcer, v. 3. pL 12./ 1. «§• 2. 



Glanville's Wootton, J. C. Dale, Esq. ; June, on Holly- 

 bushes, by the side of a rivulet, near Lyndhurst; BagleyWood 

 near Oxford; Clifton near Bristol; 9th Aug. on the side of 

 tile cliff at Bonchurch in the Isle of Weight; and 23rd Aug. 

 in the Cove at Isleonsay in the Isle of Skye, J. C. 



4. Dionysii Paiiz. 34. 24. and canicularia 34. 21. 



As this cannot be the C. canicularia of Linn, nor the C. Cij- 

 7iosbatis of Fab. I have restored Panzer's original name. It 

 seems to be rare with us; the specimen figured I captured near 

 Dover the middle of last August, and I believe Mr. Dale has 

 taken another near Langport. 



5. stigmaticus Germ. — ,///;•. 11. 20.? If this figure represents 

 Germar's insect, 1 think it may be identical with C. Cynos- 

 batis. 



End of May, Southampton ; July, Dover ; Aug. Isle of Bute 

 on the Birch, J. C. ; and at Glanville's Wootton, Mr.Dale. 



6. pilosus Oliv.—Lat. Flist. Xaf. 12. 311. 4.

 Wood and Hants. 



9. lejiorinus Linn. — Panz. Gl. 19. 



Near Marlev Wood, Luhvorth, Mr. Dale ; end of June 

 Clifton, in abundance on coarse grass by the side of the Avon,

Having found several specimens of this insect last August 

 at Sandwich upon the Thorn Apple, Datura Stramonium, that 

 plant is represented in the plate.
