220 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



short depressed cinereous hairs ; rostrum much bent, cylin- 

 dric ; thorax dilated at the sides ; elytra punctate-striate ; 

 femora considerably thickened, unarmed. 1^ line. Through- 

 out Europe, on Liuaria vulgaris, but rare. Tlie siuiple femora 

 will always distinguish it from old examples of the pre- 

 ceding. 



9. G. Noctis, Hb. (1795), Schh. — Black, subdepressed, co- 

 vered with grayish hairs ; rostrum short, subulate, obsolelely 

 sulcate ; thorax broader posteriorly, almost as long as broad ; 

 elytra distinctly punctate-striate ; femora obsolelely den- 

 tate. 1^ — ] J line. Throughout Europe and Algeria, on Li- 

 naria vulgaris. The G. melas, Schh., is very like this species, 

 but has the rostrum straight and not attenuate. G, Her- 

 barum, Bris., found on Verbascum, is a testaceous species. 

 The pilosus, Schh., also found on the Liuaria, is uuich larger, 

 more elongate, and clothed with long hairs. 



10. G. Graminis, Gyll. (1815), Schh.- — Ovate, convex, 

 sparingly clothed with cinereous adpressed hairs ; thorax 

 short, transverse ; elytra punctate-sulcate ; posterior femora 

 obtusely dentate. Ih — If line. Central and Northern Eu- 

 rope, on various Campanula?. By no means rare. I'he sculp- 

 ture of the elytra distinguishes it at once from any other 

 species. 



11. G. Campanula, L., Schh. — Subovate, black, clothed 

 sparingly with short cinereous hairs ; thorax little broader 

 than long, finely and very thickly punctured ; elytra deeply 

 punctate-striate; male with the penultimate ventral segment 

 foveolaled, and armed with two tubercles ; femora unarmed. 

 1 — 1^ line. Europe, on various CampanulaB, but not com- 

 mon. 



12. G. Micros, Germ. (1821), Schh. — Subovate, thickly 

 clothed with cinereous hairs ; rostrum slightly arcuate ; 

 thorax thickly punctured ; elytra obsoletely punctate-striate ; 

 femora unarmed. 1 — Inline. S. France, Spain, Saxony, &c., 

 on Helianthemum guttatum, in dry places {Pern's). The 

 only British specimens I have seen are two taken by Mr. 

 T. V. Wollaslon at Whilsand Bay, Cornwall, and which he 

 had always regarded as a new species, though they were re- 

 turned to him from London as G. Pascuorum, var. I The 

 general form of the insect is tliat of Campanula), but the 

 lightly striate elytra at once distinguish it.
