5. C. palustris Verr. : I described this species from three males and 



eight females taken at Seaford on August 25th, 1875 ; I 

 caught one more female there on August 8th, 1878. My 

 specimens were nearly all in bad condition, and I had almost 

 come to the conclusion that they must belong to G. suavis 

 Lw. but the capture of a male in very good condition by Col. 

 Terbury at Porthcawl on June Sth, 1903, has proved it to be 

 abundantly distinct. 



6. G. Icdsus Wied. : a very well distinguished species, being rather 



aberrant from the genus Ghrysotus, through its wide face in 

 both sexes, and the almost obliteration of the acrochsetal 

 bristles. Not uncommon from Sussex to Suffolk, and Col. 

 Terbury has taken it at Porthcawl. 



7. G. cuprem Macq. : well distinguished by the dirty whitish front 



coxae and trochanters, and better still by the minuteness of 

 the usual bristles on the posterior tibiae. I have taken it at 

 numerous localities from Sussex to Norfolk, and it has 

 occurred in my garden ; J have also seen it from Hereford- 

 shire. Great care is necessary in distinguishing it from the 

 next two species. Our British specimens are as a rule much 

 smaller than those taken on the continent, and possibly may 

 be distinct, especially as I took four specimens (including a 

 pair in cop.) at Three Bridges in Sussex in June, 1892, which 

 are fully as large as the continental specimens, and I have 

 seen no intermediates ; I cannot, however, detect any other 

 distinction. 



8. G. amplicornis Zett. : resembling G. Icesus in size and colour, but 



easily distinguished by the characters given in the table. I 

 believe it is not uncommon in the New Forest, and I have 

 records from Dolgelley and Windermere. Col. Yerbury has 

 taken it at Brodie and Nethy Bridge. 



9. G. hlepharosceles Kow. : I first caught two males and three females 



of this species near Penzance on July Sth, 1871, and I re- 

 cognised it near Teignmouth on June 11th, 1883, when I took 

 several males, one of which was submitted to Kowarz, who 

 confirmed its identification ; since then Col. Terbury has 

 taken it at Ledbury in Herefordshire and at Porthcawl in 

 Glamorgan, and Mr. Jenkinson in the New Forest and at 

 Cambridge. It is comparatively easily separated from the 

 previous species by its black haired front coxae, largish size,
