margins, and .suture and three raised ribs on each black or of:>scur(>ly 

 brassy ; underside and legs black. L. 14-16 mm. 



New Forest (Brockenhurst, (tc), Bournemouth, Poole ; Yorkshire ; North Liiuolii- 

 shire; Cannock Chase; Charnwood Forest; Durham. Scothmd local, Arran, Ayrshire. 

 Ireland, near Belfast. Usually found on heaths and commons. 



C g-ranulatus, L. (cancellatus, Stepli. Cat.). Eathcr depressed, 

 fuscous brassy, greenish, or almost black, occasionally slightly violaceous ; 

 head narrow, finely punctured ; thorax transverse with central furrow 

 distinct ; elytra almost parallel-sided until towards apex, each with 

 three elevated lines divid(;d by rows of large oblong granules ; underside 

 and legs black, L. 16-20 mm. 



Marshy places, in rotten willows, or under pond refuse; common and widely dis- 

 tributed throughout the kingdom. 



Next to this species comes C. cancellatus. III. {granulatus, StepTi. Cat.) (fig. 

 Steph. 111. PI. iv. 1), distinguished by its larger size, more convex elytra, brighter 

 colouring, larger granules on elytra, and by having the femora and first joint of 

 antenna; red. Although recorded as British, it is a very doubtful species, and requires 

 further coutirmatiou. 



C. monilis, F. Green, coppery, or occasionally entirely vio- 

 laceous or even blackish ; thorax with sides very little rounded and 

 plain central furrow ; elytra with three rows of granules separated from 

 one another by three raised lines ; underside and legs shining black. 

 L. 22-26 mm 



Common and generally distributed in the middle and south of England ; also 

 recorded from the northern counties. Scotland, only once recorded by Murray as 

 from Granton, near Edinburgh. Ireland, near Dublin and Armagh. 



The var. consitus differs from the type in having the central of the three lines that 

 separate the rows of granules on the elytra more strongly raised, and the two others 

 obsolete. It is rather rare, but has occurred at Dover, Chatham, Tonbridge, and other 

 places. 



C. arvensis, F. Smaller than the preceding species ; colour very 

 variable, greenish, reddish, coppery, violaceous, or dark brassy ; thorax 

 narrower than in the preceding species, with the sides more contracted 

 l:)ehind middle ; elytra with three rows of granules on each separated 

 by three raised lines, which are much less elevated and more obsolete 

 than in C. monilis ; underside and legs black. L. 16-20 mm. 



Local, but not uncommon in spring on sandy heaths. Wimbledon Common, New 

 Forest, Dean Forest, Bourucniouth, Derbyshire Moors, Charnwood Forest, Snowdon, 

 Lake District. Scotland common. Highlands; local near Glasgow. Irclaml, near 

 Belfast ; Kathniullan, co. Donegal.

This genus cumprises a considerable number of species, which are 

 widely distributed throughout the world. In Europe, however, the 

 number of species of Carahus far exceeds that of Calofoma. In North 

 ^Vmerica the reverse is the case, although the disproportion between the
