NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1873. 113 



ill my collection, mixed with Stenostola ferrea, and which, 

 so far as my memory goes (for I have no definite record of 

 it), was given to me by a correspondent in one of the mid- 

 land counties, years ago, as the latter insect. A. micans is 

 recorded from France, Germany, Italy, Dalmatia, the Cau- 

 casus, Russia, and elsewhere in Europe. It is of the size 

 and somewhat of the facies of S. ferrea, but purple or dark 

 violet in colour, with shorter elytra, 12-joiuted antennas, and 

 the claws of the tarsi not cleft at the base.
