Markings of the scutclliim as in C.fasciifrons. Elytra very variable in colour ; in 

 many males uniform pale fuscous, with the nerves concolorous, and the costa, and 

 sometimes the inner margin, vei'y narrowly blackish ; in many females pale grey, 

 with a greenish tinge, and the nerves paler, or even yellow ; in others, some or all 

 the areas are occupied by a broad fuscous stripe, when the pale nerves are very con- 

 spicuous, and that of the inner margin is blackish in its basal and apical thirds, with 

 the intervening space whitish. Abdomen and legs coloured, as in the preceding 

 species, ^deagus as in figures i and k. Length, 3^ — ii mm. 



Weybouriie and Cley, Norfolk, by sweeping in marshes near the 

 sea. 



This is at present a very little-known species ; in 1888, M. Leth- 

 ierry wrote me that he had only one example in good condition, taken 

 in England, and sent, he thought, by Scott to Fieber as C. G-nofata ; 

 doubtless this was one of the original examples. It does not, so far 

 as 1 am aware, occur in inland situations, like its congener, C. Q-notata. 

 I have reserved the latter name for the species which is so very 

 abundant with us in grassy places everywhere, and which is most 

 certainly characterized by having the a?deagus as in figures g and h. 

 In C. Q-notata the markings of the head are more prone to vary by 

 way of reduction, than in its allies ; the interocular line is not unfre- 

 quently absent altogether.

General colour of the upper-side varying from dark fuscous to black with a 

 bluish tinge ; the transverse nerve and portions of those adjoining it frequently 

 forming a whitish \-\ near the base of each elytron. Crown sometimes entirely black, 

 at others exhibiting the normal markings in various degrees of confluence ; in the 

 male, three-fifths shorter than the pronotum, the curves of its front and hind margins 

 nearly parallel ; in the female, one-half shorter than the pronotum, one-third longer 

 in the middle than at the sides, its free sides nearly straiglit, apex rounded ; frons 

 black, generally with a yellow spot in each apical angle, and sometimes with vellow 

 side lines. Pronotum sometimes entirely black, but generally yellow, with its disc 

 more or less completely occupied by a fuscous or black patch, which is divided by a 

 stripe of the pale ground colour, near the front margin a few black points. Elytra 

 varying in colour from fuscous, with the white H before-mentioned, to uniform 

 pitch-black, with a bluish tinge ; nerves concolorous ; in many females the fuscous 

 pigment is ari'angcd in streaks, wjiich more or less completely occupy the areas, and 

 leave the nerves pale ; in these specimens the middle third of the inner marginal 

 nerve is generally conspicuously whitish. Abdomen : above, black, the hind-margins 

 of the segments very narrowly yellow ; in the male, black beneath, with the con- 

 nexivum narrowly, and the upturned apices of the genital jilate.s, yellow ; in the
