on the Genus Myllsena. 41 



much longer and broader thorax and elytra, and darker and 

 shorter legs and antennae. 



Jf. Kraatzil was found by "My. Rye, near Wimbledon Common, 

 and subsequently by ]\Ir. T. Wilkinson, near Scarborough, and 

 recently in some numbers near Chobham, by Mr. B. A. Butler, 

 of Hastings ; it seems therefore to inhabit elevated and peaty 

 localities. I have also received this species from France. 



I have been careful in describing this very distinct species, 

 because it has been unaccountably confounded with others of the 

 genus. By some it has been mistaken for ^f. g/anca, of Aube, 

 which is synonymous with Jf, elongata ; and in the Catalogue 

 of H. H. Stein, and Weise, its name is quoted as a synonymn of 

 ^[. g racilicornis , to which it bears no possible resemblance. 

 The erect seta? mentioned in the al)ove description are more or 

 less common to all Mylla3na% but being naturally liable to 

 abrasion are very seldom found in perfect preservation, and 

 cannot therefore be relied upon as a differential character. 



Mz/Ilcena elongata. 



L.c. l|-2 Hn. = 3"50-4: mm. Very long and narroAv, fus- 

 cous covered with a dense grey sericeous pubescence, closely and 

 rather strongly tuberculate ; head rather large, mouth yellow ; 

 thorax moderate not dilated posteriorly, elytra as long and as 

 wide as the thorax, alidomen very long, twice as long as the 

 anterior parts of the body, obtusely attenuated with the apical 

 and half the penultimate segments rufous ; legs long rufo- 

 testaceous, antenna3 long, pitchy testaceous. 



Differs from its congeners in its large size, narrow elongate 

 subparallel form, long legs and antenna;, and shining silky 

 pubescence. 



M. elongata is imiversally distributed, but not very abundant; 

 it differs from the usual habits of the genus, and, as far as my 

 own experience goes, is generally found on beds of mud devoid 

 of herbage. 



MyUcena grceca. 



L.c. 1^-H lin- = 2-50-3 mm. Elongate, very slender and 

 pauch attenuated posteriorly, rufo-fuscpus with phe thorax,
