254 LONGICORNIA. [ Tetrops. 
black ; thorax about as long as broad, transversely impressed in front 
and behind, with dise nearly smooth and front and sides punctured ; 
elytra strongly and almost regularly punctured ; legs testaceous, with 
the intermediate and posterior femora black. L, 33-5 mm. 
Male with the antenne about as long as the body and a little longer 
than in female, and the forehead furnished with white pilose pubescence. 
On flowers, by beating dead twigs, &c.; somewhat local, but not uncommon and 
generally distributed throughout England from the Midland counties southwards ; 
less common further north; Northumberland and Durham district, rare, Gibside 
(Wailes) ; not recorded from Scotland. 
STENOSTOLA, Mulsant. 
This genus contains five species, which are closely allied to Phytacia, 
but differ in having the forehead flatter, and the elytra rather pointed 
at the extreme apex, and without raised lines, and also in the formation 
of the antennz and tarsi ; two of these have occurred in Europe, and 
three in North America ; one is found very rarely in Britain; the larva 
of this species seems to differ from most of those that have been noticed 
in having no visible ocelli; as a rule there appear to be two rather large 
ones; the legs also are quite wanting, whereas in Monochammus and 
Saperda they are visible, although very small; in this point, however, 
they agree with the majority of the Lamiide ; the body is considerably 
narrowed behind, the prothoracie segment being half as broad again as the 
eighth abdominal segment ; the upper surface is rather thickly pilose ; 
the larva is found in boughs of Salia caprea. 
S. ferrea, Schrank. (nigripes, F.; Saperda ferrea, Steph.). Elon- 
gate, linear, pilose, black, with the elytra of a deep steel-blue or bluish- 
black colour, thorax sometimes with a metallic reflection; front and 
sides of head, scutellum, and sides of breast clothed with white 
pubescence ; head broad, antenne rather long; thorax slightly trans- 
verse, nearly as long as broad, closely and rather strongly punctured ; 
elytra with shoulders well marked, coarsely and rugosely punctured ; 
legs black. L. 7-10 mm. ; 
Male with the antenne a little longer than in female, and the thorax 
without distinet bands of pubescence ; female with the thorax furnished 
on each side at base with a rather distinct band of whitish pubescence. 
On flowers, trees, bushes, &c.; rare; it seems to be particularly fond of the lime.

Repton (W. Garneys); Matlock, Lovers’ Walks (one specimen beaten by myself in 
June, 1877, from a wild rose bush) ; Newark; Nottingham; Benthall Edge, Salop

Durham district, near Gibside (Hardy) ; not recorded from Scotland. 
PHYTCCIA, Mulsant. 
This genus contains rather more than one hundred species, which are 
widely distributed in Europe, Northern Africa, and Asia; it does not,
