stead, Mickleham, Chatham, Champion; Weybridge, Glan- 
villes Wootton, Dorset, Dale; and Oxshott, Billups. 
Dr. Puton has seen an example in which the sutural 
series of meshes is widened at the apex into two and three 
series, which he thinks may prove to be the developed 
state of this species. 
ORTHOSTIRA, [ieb. 
(Acalypta, Westw.) 
Species small, depressed or slightly convex, surface with 
fine meshes; rarely developed—the developed form of 
parvula, the only one I am acquainted with, resembles a 
Monanthia in shape, and quite departs from the short, 
almost rotundate form of the undeveloped specimens. 
Head with the vertex bearing two spines, eyes large granu- 
lated ; antenne, basal joint very thick, second very short, 
third very elongate, fourth distinctly thicker than the third; 
rostral canal open anteriorly, its sides areolated; pronotum 
with a distinct hood on the centre of the anterior margin, 
disc with three areolated carinz, sides reticulated; elytra 
reticulated, with strongly-raised longitudinal carine. 
There are fifteen species given in Puton’s Catalogue, of 
which most are of southern distribution; gracilis, Fieb., 
however, occurs in Sweden, and may probably yet be found 
with us. The characters below are from the undeveloped 
forms of the species. 
(2) 1. Pronotum with only acentralkeel . - BRUNNEA. 
(1) 2. Pronotum with three keels. 
(4) 3. Margins of the elytra with two rows of 
meshes throughout . - CERVINA. 
(3) 4. Margins of the elytra with only o one row of 
meshes. 
(6) 5. Lateral discal carinz touching the hood . PARVULA.
