 A single specimen was, on the 24tli of August last, brushed 

 out of very old ivy at Shenton Hall, near Market Bos- 

 worth, Leicestershire, by Mr. WoUaston, who has found this 

 Mediterranean species abundant round Funchal, in Madeira 

 (it appears to have been recorded as far north as Vienna). 

 It is rather less than licemorrlioidalis, and readily distin- 

 guishable by its elytra having in common two horse-shoe 

 shaped whitish-yellow lines, open towards the front, and of 

 which the lower encloses the upper.
