that species at once by the longer hairs on the first and 
second joints of the antennw, and the semi-erect hairs which | 
) clothe its upper surface; the eyes also are smaller and | 
( rather farther apart, and the pronotum rather more convex | 
and raised posteriorly ; the dark lines on the front tibiz are 
very strongly marked.

I have considered this in my last Catalogue as a pilose 
state of pallipes ; but at Mr. Hdwards’s suggestion I have 
re-examined the matter, and I think I was wrong. The 
character of the smaller eyes seems to me to be an impor- 
tant one, which had escaped my notice till I re-examined 
them lately; at any rate, it is a form easily distinguished 
by its hairy upper surface, 
Less common than pallipes, but often occurring with it.

_>S. arenicola, Scholtz—Of a deeper black than either 
of the preceding species, although similar in form, and 
possibly only a colour variety of pallipes, It may be easily 
known by the pale white markings of the elytra, which, 
against the deep black ground colour, are peculiarly con- 
spicuous. They consist of a small spot at the apex of the 
clavus, a broad transverse band across the centre of the 
corium and several small spots below it ; two side by side 
near the outer apical angle forming another short band. 
These markings vary to a certain extent, but the central 
band seems to be very constant; membrane dark smoky, 
sometimes unspotted, at other times with the cells pale, 
with a central oval black spot in each; nervures black, 
a spot near the apex of the corium and the apical margin 
pale, a black spot on each side between them; legs pale ; 
tibiz outwardly, except a band just above the apex, black ; 
tarsi with the apices of the joints black.
