The above description is taken from a number of average indi- 
viduals, but dark or pale varieties occur which differ considerably in 
their markings. The species is likely to be confounded with pictus, 
Fab. ; q. V. The five last species here described form a natural and 
closely allied group, which might well constitute a genvis. E. auratus 
is sufficiently common on shrubs in hedges, fields, &c., throughout the 
country.

Italy, as well as northern Europe.
