Aromia. ] LONGICORNIA. 221 
A. moschata, LL. (rosarwm, Luc.). A large and fine species, which 
may he at once recognized by its large size, bright metallic-green colour, 
and the strong spine on each side of the thorax; the colour is sometimes 
more or less coppery or bluish ; head narrower than thorax, rugosely 
punctured; thorax transverse, uneven, more or less rugosely punctured, 
withthe disc sometimes almost smooth or sparingly punctured in the female ; 
elytra dull, closely and rugosely punctured, bluntly rounded at apex, 
with obsoletely raised lines; legs metallic, elongate, with posterior tibiae 
slightly curved. L. 20-30 mm. 
Male with the antenne one and a half times as long as the body, and 
the thorax rugosely punctured throughout ; fifth ventral segment truncate 
at apex. 
Female with the antenne a little shorter than the body, and the dise 
of thorax smooth or diffusely punctured ; fifth ventral segment rounded 
and produced at apex. 
In decaying willows; rather local, but not uncommon and generally distributed 
throughout the greater part of England and Wales; London district common ; 
Hertford; Eton; Ely; Dover; Southsea; Devon; Somerset; Tewkesbury ; 
Evesham; Swansea; near Barmouth; Repton (osier beds); common near York ; 
Manchester and Liverpool districts; Keswick; Northumberland district, rare ; 
Scotland, rare, Solway and Forth districts; Ireland, near Belfast ; it occurs in 
many. other localities, and is probably very generally distributed from Yorkshire 
southwards. 
ASEMuUM, [schscholtz. 
This genus contains ten species, which are found in Europe, Siberia 
and the Amur district, and North America; the single British species is 
a broad and robust inseet with comparatively short antenne and the 
femora not clavate ; it has occurred locally in Scotland in stumps of 
Scotch fir, but has not been found in England or Ireland ; the larva is 
described by Chapuis and Candéze (Larves des Coléopteres, p. 244) and 
by Schiddte (Pars ix. 401); it does not present any particular pecu- 
larity, except that the prothorax is smaller than in the other species of 
the Cerambycina. 
A. striatum, L. Oblong, somewhat depressed, black, rather dull, 
clothed with thick but very fine pubescence, and finely and thickly 
sculptured ; head much narrower than thorax, forehead with a triangular 
impression, antenne rather short and robust; thorax transverse, with 
sides rather strongly rounded, uneven on dise ; elytra with about six 
raised lines on each, of which the alternate ones are less raised ; legs 
black, comparatively short, tarsi pitchy. L. 10-16 mm. 
Male with the fifth ventral segment transverse, broadly rounded at 
apex; in the female the same segment is not transverse and somewhat 
produced at apex. 
In stumps of Scotch fir; local; Scotland, Solway, Forth, Tay, Dee, and Moray 
districts,
