 Exhibited at the Ent. Soc. by Mr. E. W. Janson, on 

 behalf of Mr. Sidebotham of Manchester ; taken, I believe, 

 near Devizes. It appears to be not rare in Germany, on dry 

 hillocks. It is larger than S. potentillce, of a pale ash color, 

 with a middle line on the thorax, the suture, and alternate 

 interstices still paler.

 Soc. 7 Nov. 1864, Ent. M. Mag. vol. i. p. 171. 



Somewhat resembling the rufous varieties of C. jiyrrhor- 

 hynchus, but differing fi'om that species as follows. It is 

 rather smaller, shorter, more convex, with the shoulders 

 more rounded, the legs shorter and not so stout, and the ros- 

 trum and antennae entirely pitchy ; the thorax is rather 

 shorter, with the constriction towards the front of its side? 

 beginninor nearer the base, and the dorsal channel having 

 some ashy scales near the scutellum ; the suture of the elytra 

 is not clothed with ashy scales, and the striae are not deeply 

 cut, so that the interstices are only moderately elevated. 

 The clothing of the interstices is composed of short, thin, 

 rather depressed, scattered, yellowish-grey hair-like scales, 

 instead of the usual broad, closely planted scales. 



Three specimens were taken at Weybridge last June by 

 Dr. Power, and Mr. E. W. Janson has exhibited at the Ent. 

 Soc, on the part of Mr. Sidebotham of Manchester, two 

 examples, taken at Silverdale, near Lancaster (named, I 

 believe, by Dr. Power).
