1. Stenobothrus crassipes, Ocskay. 



This is easily recognised by its smaller size and abbreviated organs 

 of flight, together with the broad and regularly reticulated discoidal 

 area of elytra. Length of body, 12-5mm. ^ , 16mm. $ ; of pronotum, 

 2-6mm. <? , 3mm. 2 ; of elytra, 4mm. ^ , 3mm. $ . 



This is a very local Austrian species ; it is common on dry hills 

 near Vienna, at Ottakring, Hpeising, Mauer, Sauerbrunn. 



2. Stenobothrus lineatus, Panzer. 



One of the largest species of the genus ; the <? has the abdomen 

 bright red above ; characteristic is the deep green of the pronotum, 

 with reddish keels, the white stripe of the elytra, often tinted with 

 yellow, and the white spot near the apex ; by variety, the white is 

 sometimes replaced by deep violet. Length of body, 18mm. <? , 

 23mm. -27mm. $ ; of pronotum, 3-2mm. ^ , 5mm. ? ; of elytra, 

 18'5mm. ^ , 14mm. -18mm. 5 . 



It is common in central Europe ; in England it is local, occurring 

 at the Folkestone Warren, Boxhill, and a few other localities in the 

 southern counties. In France it is common, though less so in the 

 south. In Spain, it occurs in the mountains throughout the country, 

 and has been recorded from the Sierra Nevada, the Cordillera Carpe- 

 tana, the Pyrenees, and near Burgos. It is found also in Sweden ; in 

 Belgium, at Arlon, Fagnes, Francorchamp, Halboy, Han-sur-Lesse, 

 Campine, Pietersheim, and Dieppenbreck ; also in Switzerland, in the 

 highest mountains. 



3. Stenobothrus nigromaculatus, Herrich-Schafier. 



Resembles the last, but differs in the narrower, more pointed elytra, 

 with no white spots, and less regular fenestrations of the discoidal 

 area. Length of body, 15mm. -18mm. J , 19mm. -24mm. ? ; of 

 pronotum, 3mm. -4mm. ^ , 4mm. ? ; of elytra, 10mm. -13mm. S , 

 10mm. -16mm. 5 . 



Rarer in western Europe. In France, only quoted from Lardy, 

 Bareges, and Canigou. In Spain, it is found in the Pyrenees 

 and Catalonia ; Madrid, Valencia, Tona, Berga, Bujaruelo, and in 

 Portugal, at 5900 ft., in the Serra de Estrella. It is common near 

 Vienna, Bisamberg, Petersdorf, Kaltenlentgeben, Mauer, Modling, 

 Baden, Gutenstein, Felixdorf, and Oberweiden. 



4. Stenobothurs fischeri, Eversmann { = ni<irof/e)ii€alatus, 



Brunner) . 

 Closely resembles -S. lineatits, but differs in the much narrower
