 Mr. Crotch states that he has seen this insect in several 

 collections. 



Dr. Power has taken a considerable number of specimens 

 in a fungus upon an old willow at Wey bridge, on 11th Sep- 

 tember last. 



It is very small, the largest examples being about the size 

 of the smallest ^. affine, from which it differs also in being 

 decidedly narrower, the thorax especially being narrowed in 

 front; the punctuation, moreover, is much finer and closer, 

 and the pubescence is scattered thickly and evenly over the 

 whole of the elytra, and not arranged in rows of scant hairs. 

 There is a slight metallic reflection from the pubescence, as 

 in Cis hispidus.

Mr. Crotch states that this species is the ^'^cidW of 



Marsham, existing in several collections, and closely re- 



semblins" T. mercurialis.
