Dr. rior, in his description of 0. seladonicus, Fall. (E-hyn. Liv. i., 

 607, 85) refers the C. seladonicus, Kirschb., to that insect ; but as 

 rieber says he has seen Kirschbaum's original, and gives it as identical 

 with the C. solitarius, Meyer, we apprehend Flor is in error. 



Three specimens taken in Headley Lane, Mickleham, by Dr. Power 

 in the middle of July last, by sweeping.
