Three specimens, taken by Turner in Perthshire, are said 

 by him to liave been beaten out of birch. 



28. Ceutorhynchus Syrites, Germ. ; Waterhouse, Proc. 



Ent. Soc. 6 Aug. 1860, Zool. 7162 (1860). 

 Ceutorhynclms Syrites, Germar, Col. Spec. nov. 232, 

 358 (1824) J Gyll. Ins. Suec. iv. 577, 63-64

Allied to C. assiniilh, F., but black, without any brassy 

 tint, more robust, the thorax at its base nearly twice as 

 broad as long, the sides more rounded, the dorsal channel 

 less apparent, the lateral linear tubercle le!?s evident, the 

 punctuation coarser ; the elytra broader, the scale-like 

 pubescence with which the interstices are clothed longer, 

 denser on the basal third of the first interstice, the tubercles 

 at and near the apex larger. 



The C. inaffectatus, Schoenh., with which the present 

 species has likewise been confounded, is a lai'ger insect, 

 more nearly resembling C. assimilis in form, but having the 

 four posterior femora distinctly, the anterior obsoletely, 

 dentate. 



" Found by sweeping in the field opposite the inn at Birch 

 Wood Corner on the 11th of July, and at Erith on the 26th

 Some of our readers will doubtless be pleased to learn that 

 the third part of M. Jacquelin- Duval's " Glanures Ento- 

 mologiques" will contain a monograph of the European 

 Ceutorhynchi from the pen of this talented Entomologist.
