C. viarginellus, dorsalis qxmS. frontalis^ it is generally thought 

 are mere varieties of C. pusillus^ varying in different degrees 

 from testaceous to black ; and Dr. Leach has lately sent from 

 Devonshire to the British Museum, either another curious 

 variety or a distinct species, black with a testaceous transverse 

 band near the base of the elytrae. 



Mr. Dale having swept his insect off Heath growing upon 

 a bank, Erica cinerea (Fine-leaved Heath) is figured in the 

 plate. It is said also by Fabricius to inhabit a very old 

 garden flower Chrysanthemum rorojiarium.
