 glossy ; all these portions rich red-brown without sculpture ; 

 back of the thorax similar ; dorsal and abdominal segments 

 less glossy, without punctures, smooth yet possessing distinct 

 hind bands of equal smoothness ; the abdominal segments

Ante, p. 177. — Coreniia didymata, L. I am indebted to 

 Mr. G. H. Keurick of Birmingham, and to Mr. Louis B. 

 Prout of Dalston, for the information that this species 

 certainly passes the winter in the egg-state, hatching in 

 the spring, and the larva feeding up somewhat rapidly. The 

 eggs are often laid upon some plant which has persistent 

 leaves, such as wood-sage (7'(;/"'vm'//;, si'uivdonia). '
