Cryphalus fagi, Fabr. 



This species is found generally on branches or small stems, but is 

 said to be very local. Mr Morse supplied me with the specimen 

 from which the photograph is taken (fig. 112). 



I only got one specimen from the branch, which was elongated, 

 slender, and of a shiny, dull black colour.
