narrow white ba^al margin, anci looked at, sideways, somewhat resembles the thorn 

 of a briar, its point slightly inclined foraards, in other respects it closely resembles 

 r. cuHciformis. 



Rkduvina. 

 \nbis hrenipenni.s, H;ihn. = JV. apterus, Fiib. 

 „ brevis, Sc-holtz (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvi, p. 227, and xxxviii, 

 p. 269). 

 Taken by sweepiiif^j on somewhat niiirsliy iJiroMnd alonp; the canal 

 between Byfleet and Weybridge. 



The smallest sjjecies of the rur/oxns gruup, differing from both that species and 

 ericetorum in the shorter front femora ; in colonr it is of a darker grey than riigosux, 

 with the nerves of the elytra widely margined with fuscous grey, it is darker, often 

 nearly black underneath, and the transverse bhick bars of the front femora beneath 

 are much more pronounced ; in this it resembles ericetorum, but it shows no ten- 

 dency to become rufescent. The form of the genital style of the S is quite distinct 

 from that of the other species ; its blade is wider in proportion to its length, and 

 has a more convex upper margin, which rises from the stipes in a nearly straight 

 line ; in ericetorum there is a shoulder just above the stipes, followed by a slight 

 sinuation ; in both the apex is mncronate; in rugosiis there is neither shoulder nor 

 sinuation, but the blade is comparatively narrow and the apical mucro is scarcely 

 developed. 



Saldina. 

 Snhia morio, U. & S. Saund. {Muellerl, Gn.) = S. ocidata, Miill. 



„ morio, Zctt. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxi, p. 236). 

 I gave the distinguisliing characters of these two species in this 

 Magazine as quoted above. 



Morio may be known from oculata by the very shining surface, looking almost 

 as if it had been burnished, the puncturation of the elytra being obsolete or almost 

 80 ; eyes in the $ , looked at from in front, although large, not or scarcely wider 

 than the face between them, pronotum narrower, more constricted in front, its sides 

 straighter. 



On the moors near Buxton, June, 1889. 

 Salda setulosa, Put. (Ent. Mo. Mag., si, p. 276). 

 Introduced by Mr. E. A. Butler, on a single example taken at 

 Poole Harbour in flood refuse in Au^^ust, 1904. 



It resembles opacula, Zett., but differs from it in having the upper surface 

 clothed with long, upright, bhiekish hairs, and the pale markings of the face much 

 obscured, the second antennal joint is longer than in opacula, and is black at the 

 base and apex.
