catalogue the 7’. Poweri of Allard is referred to T. piciceps; Mr. Rye 
referred it to 7’. gracilis ; I have a single specimen that was returned to 
me from the Continent, I believe by M. Brisout, as probably 7’. Poweri, 
and see no reason why it should not be an immature example of 
T. piciceps, except that the shoulders of the elytra are not quite so 
marked. 
ZL. lycopi, Foudr. (¢antulus, Foudr.). A very small species, of 
rather elongate form, which is, however, variable and shorter in some 
specimens than in others, convex, ferrugino-testaceous, with the head, 
breast, abdomen and apex of posterior femora pitchy black ; suture of 
elytra pitchy black, sometimes ferruginous; the apex of the abdomen is 
also occasionally reddish ; antenne yellow, fuscous towards apex, head 
usually darker than thorax; thorax finely, but distinctly, punctured ; 
wings present ; elytra rather strongly punctured, the punctures being 
arranged in more or less distinct rows towards base, and becoming feebler 
behind, shoulders not strongly marked; legs, except posterior femora, 
reddish-testaceous. L. 11-1 mm. 
On Boraginacee, Lycopus Europeus, &e.; in sand pits, &e.; very local, and, as a 
rule, not common, although occasionally it occurs in abundance ; Shirley (Champion) ; 
Claygate, Horsell, and Mickleham (in the latter place abundantly, Power) ; Hastings 
district ; Glanvilles Wootton (Wollaston). 
L. abdominalis, Duft. Closely allied to Z. lycop7, Foudr., and at 
first included under this species by Allard ; it differs, however, in being 
of a slightly darker colour, with the punctuation evidently stronger and 
the shoulders obliquely rounded ; the elytra, moreover, are more convex; 
the general colour is ferrugino-testaceous, with the antenne and legs 
pale and the posterior femora pitchy black. L. 11-14 mm. 
On the ground ivy, Nepeta Gilechoma; two specimens taken by Dr. Power at 
Hammersmith Bridge on May 24th, 1862, and named in his collection as Thyamis 
canescens, which appears, from the description given by M. Allard, to be a closely 
allied species; ZL. lycopt occurs on the Gipsy Wort (Lycopus Europeus) and Bora- 
ginaceze, as before mentioned, and not on Nepeta. 
&. membranaceus, Foudr. (¢euerii, All., nec minusculus, Foudr.). 
Ovate, convex, shining, of a reddish-yellow or ferruginous colour, with 
the apex of the antenne, the head, thorax and posterior femora lighter 
or darker ferruginous or pitehy ; under-side reddish ; antenne rather 
long ; thorax moderately convex, with sides strongly rounded, somewhat 
distinctly punctured ; scutellum small; wings absent or rudimentary ; 
elytra at base a little broader than thorax, dilated behind, rather 
strongly punctured, dehiscent at apex, with the shoulders obliquely 
rounded, but more evident in some specimens than in others; legs, 
except posterior femora, testaceous ; under-side finely punctured. L. 
11-15 mm. 
On Teucrium seorodonia ; local, but common where it occurs; Mickleham, Esher,
