348 PHYTOPHAGA. [Zongitarsus. 
Shirley, Darenth Wood, Crohamhurst, Chatham, Gravesend; Dover; Hollington, 
near Hastings; Lee Valley, North Devon; Knowle, near Birmingham; Repton; 
Heysham, near Manchester ; Scotland, Balmuto, Fifeshire (Power); the latter 
specimens have the head and thorax rather darker than is usually the case, and the 
elytra a little more strongly punctured, but can hardly be considered as a constant 
variety. 
L. ballote, Marsh. Oblong-ovate, convex, head and underside 
pitchy black, thorax and elytra reddish-testaceous ; antenne rather long, 
testaceous, darker towards apex ; thorax rounded at sides, moderately 
convex, a little compressed towards anterior angles, rather distinctly 
and somewhat rugosely punctured ; scutellum small, testaceous ; elytra 
moderately long, rather dull, obliquely rounded at shoulders, rounded 
and subacuminate at apex, closely, deeply and distinctly punctured, 
with the interstices alutaceous, or more or less distinctly cross-reticulate ; 
legs testaceous, with the posterior femora pitchy or pitchy black ; under- 
side shining black, obsoletely punctured ; the punctuation and colour 
of the under-side will easily separate this species from the preceding. 
L. 13-13 mm. 
On Ballota nigra and Marrubium vulgare ; local, but common where it occurs ; 
Darenth Wood, Headley Lane, Faversham, Crohamhurst, Chatham, Gravesend, 
Sheerness ; Walton-on-Naze; Birchington; Ditchingham, near Bungay, Suffolk ; 
Norfolk ; Wicken Fen ; Swansea. 
L. Waterhousei, Kuts. (pratensis, Panz. 2). Ovate, convex, shining ; 
head ferruginous, with the vertex darker and the labrum pitchy; thorax 
rufo-testaceous, elytra testaceous ; antennz fuscous, with base testaceous; 
thorax transverse, somewhat rugosely and distinctly punctured ; wings 
present; elytra ovate, with the shoulders somewhat prominent, rather 
strongly punctured, the punctures being usually confused, but sometimes 
disposed in indistinct rows towards base; abdomen black, with the last 
segment and the pygidium ferruginous; legs testaceous with the apex 
of the posterior femora reddish or ferruginous, posterior tibiz with a 
long apical spur. L. 2 mm. 
By sweeping herbage; rare; Chatham (Champion) ; Chattenden, Kent; Esher 
(Power) ; Mickleham (Rye); Wicken Fen (Power), 
This species is allied to LZ. ballote and L. lycopi ; from the former it 
may be known by its more shining and less closely punctured elytra, 
and from the latter by its larger size, greater breadth, and the coarser 
punctuation of the elytra. Rye (Ent. Ann. 1869, 58) says that it may 
briefly be described as 7. flavicornis with the six apical joints of its 
antenne more or less blackened. By many authors it is identified with 
T. pratensis, Panz. ; it is quite possible that this is correct, but there 
seems to be so much confusion regarding this species, that I have 
preferred to adopt Herr Kutschera’s name, at all events for the 
present. 
L. ferrugineus, Foudr. This species is distinguished from the
