This very pretty and elegantly-shaped little species is 
common and generally distributed, occurring on various 
trees. I have generally found it most commonly on oaks. 
CYLLOCORIS, Hain. 
Our British representatives of this genus are two very 
dissimilar species, and I feel it rather hard to believe that 
they should be thus united. One isa rather flat, black, 
hairy insect, with four elytral spots, which used to be 
placed under Globiceps, from which genus, however, it is 
clearly distinct ; the other a somewhat cylindrical, glabrous, 
highly-coloured insect, The genus as at present constituted 
differs from Gilobiceps, its nearest ally, by the similarity of 
the two sexes, the longer first joint of the antenne, which is 
very slightly curved at the base, the shorter rostrum, only 
reaching to the mesosternum, and the more remote pos- 
terior cox ; there are five species in Reuter’s monograph.
