228 Mr. Westwood on the dffinities of Clinidium. 
cies, and has been taken by Mr. Stephens, as well as received by him 
from Mr. Griffin. It is not, however, contained in his Systematic Cata- 
logue. The specimens, although agreeing in size, vary (as in the last 
species) in the formation of the antenne, which in some individuals (most 
probably males) are very long, slender, and filiform,* whilst in others 
they are much shorter, with the three apical joints incrassated. These 
last I conceive to be females. 
Of a similar formation with the latter specimens are two insects con- 
tained in the cabinet of Mr. Stephens, and in his Systematic Catalogue 
named ‘ Ulciota monilicornis, Marsh. MSS.”’ The Brontes pallens of 
Fabricius (which Mr. Stephens doubtingly regards as a synonym of this 
species) is, however, considered by the German and French entomologists 
asa variety of Ul. flavipes, and consequently a much larger insect. 
The remaining insect of this genus which I shall mention, isa small pale 
fulvo-testaceous species (Tab. Supp. xLv1. fig. 2.), which was captured 
under the bark of a Horn-beam tree, in Hainault Forest, by Mr. Bydder, and 
which is now in my cabinet ; I am not aware of any other British speci- 
men, nor do I find it described, unless it be the Cue. unifasciatus of La- 
treille, (Hist. Nat. 11, 256.) The head is as large as the thorax, and has 
several emarginations on its anterior margin; the /abrum is large, and 
rounded in front (Ibid. fig. 3, A.), the antenne are longer than the head 
and thorax (Ibid. E.), the first joint larger than the second, which is also 
a little larger than the third, the remaining joints gradually increase 
in length and thickness to the last joint, which is as large as the basal 
joint, andacute at the tip. The trophi (Ibid. B, C, and D,) considerably 
resemble those of the Wiltshire species, Cuc. piceus? The thorax is almost 
quadrate, with a very fine depressed line running parallel with each la~ 
teral margin, which is entire: it is very slightly narrower behind than 
infront. The elytra are not broader, but about twice the length of the 
thorax, with several rows of minute punctures, which are more distinct 
near the apex ; there is also a deeper stria near the lateral and sutural 
* The insect specifically named testaceus by Fabricius, was placed by him 
in his genus Brontes, and as the supposed males of the specimens above men- 
tioned have long antennz (as in that genus), I am induced to consider that they, 
and not the Wiltshire specimens, are the true festacews.
