2nd sub-division. — Sinder femora rounded m llic middle, tmartned ; 

 the hinder tibice but little arched, almost straight^ 



O. lonicercE, Herbst. 



1. — Elijtra uniform, hlach. 



O. pnpitlijYtib. M. de Barneville's expression " toutc TEuropo," and 

 his reference to Stephens' Brit. Ent. and Man., mnst, I presume, 

 signify his opinion that this is a British species. According to 

 Mr. "Walton, Stephens' po2')uli is Tachyerges stigma. The true 

 populi, found abroad on pophir and osiers, is oblong-ovate, rather 

 narrow, black, sparingly and verj delicately clothed with ashy 

 pubescence, the posterior femora un-toothed, very slightly thickened, 

 and banded with black. 



O. cinereus, Schon. (meridional Europe). 



2. — JElytra variegated. 

 O. rusci, Herbst. 



0. avellance, Donov. 



2nd division. — Funiculus of the antennce seven-jointed (Tachyerges). 

 Femora and posterior tibice as in the 2nd sub-division. 



1. — Elytra blacJc, uniform. 

 O. stigma, Germ. 



O. saliceti, Fab. 



2. — Elytra variegated. 



O. decoratus. Germ. M, de Barneville does not expressly state this to 

 be a British species, but again quotes Stephens' Brit. Ent. and 

 Man. for the type ; and also refers the affinis of that author to an 

 immaculate form of it. Mr. Walton, as before, has shown that 

 both the decoratus and afjlnis of Stephens are O. rusci. 



O. salicis, Linn. 



O. rufitarsis, Germ. (Sweden, Germany, and France). Nearly allied to 

 O. salicis, but considerably larger, with clear reddish-testaceous 

 tarsi, rather broader thorax, and the front band of the elytra 

 stronger, and more dilated in the middle.
