 1855; Zool. 4599 (1855). 

 I am not certain that the insect exhibited by Mr. Douglas 

 is really referable to this species, as I had no opportunity 

 of examining the specimen, which was alive in a phial. 



The present species, however, is certainly indigenous; I 

 possess ;m individual taken lust year by Mr. Foxcroft, at Ran* 

 noch, Perthshire, and, it* I am not mistaken, there were many 

 specimens in the late Mr. Trueman's Sherwood Forest Col- 

 lection, which was sold by public auction in the autumn of 

 last year. It bears a very close resemblance to Crat. rvfipi
