Saperda.| LONGICORNIA. 253 
same between this and margin, upper surface rather coarsely punctured, 
the spaces. between the punctures being finely reticulate; antenne 
and legs clothed with more or less distinct greenish pubescence. 
L. 14-16 mm. 
On poplars and aspens; rare; it has chiefly been found in the Manchester district, 
where it has been taken in some numbers at Agecroft, Pilkington, Middleton, Hough 
End, &c.; Cockermouth and Langley’s pastures, Northumberland and Durham district ; 
Stephens records it as very rare in the neighbourhood of London, but this record is 
probably erroneous ; it must not, however, be rejected without consideration, as I once 
beat a beautiful specimen, which had evidently just emerged, from alder in Bretby 
Wood, near Repton, Burton-on-Trent, on July 10th, 1879; it has never occurred in 
or near the district before or since, and in fact this is the only Midland record ;* 
when quite fresh the insect has a most beautiful golden-green appearance, very 
different from that of older specimens. 
S. populnea, L. Elongate, subcylindrical, villose, black, under- 
side clothed with thick yellowish-grey pubescence ; head as broad as 
thorax, thickly punctured and pubescent; thorax nearly as long as 
broad, with three longitudinal lines of yellowish pubescence, the central 
one being abbreviated and often more or less obsolete, with the pune- 
tuation coarse but shallow; seutellum thickly pubescent; elytra with 
rather scanty yellowish pubescence, and besides with several dots and 
patches of the same on each, of which one or two in the middle are often 
most distinct, apex more or less dehiscent, punctuation very coarse; an- 
tenne rather long, ringed with white; legs stout, pubescent. L.10-14 mm. 
On sallows, aspens, poplars, willows, &c.; usually in woods; local, but not 
uncommon ; St. James’s Park, London; Darenth Wood, Dulwich Wood, Mickleham, 
Highgate; Hastings; Glanvilles Wootton ; Southampton; Bewdley Forest ; Knowle, 
near Birmingham; Chartley Moss and Burnt Wood, Staffordshire; Whittlesea 
Mere; Repton; Lincoln, Langworth Wood ; I know of no record of the capture of 
this insect further north than the last-mentioned locality, in which I have found it 
sparingly. 
TETROPS, Stephens. (Polyopsia, Mulsant.) 
Nine species are comprised in this genus; they appear to occur 
exclusively in Europe, the Caucasus district, and North America; they 
may be known by having the eyes entirely divided, by their small size, 
and by their antenne, which are black and thickly pilose, and not, or 
scarcely, longer than the body ; the anterior coxal cavities are narrowly 
closed behind, and the tarsi are very short; the larve live in decaying 
wood of various deciduous trees, and the perfect insects are found on 
flowers. 
T. preusta, L. (ustulata, Hag.). A very small species, which 
bears a considerable resemblance at first sight to Telephorus limbatus ; 
linear, subcylindrical, with the head, thorax and under-side black, and 
the elytra testaceous with the apex rather broadly black ; pubescence 
strong and coarse, villose; head as broad as thorax, antenne stout, 
* The species has just been recorded (Ent. Monthly, Mag., Oct. 1889) by Mr. W. 
G. Blatch, from Sherwood Forest.
