38 HETEROMERA. [ Clinocara. 
each side at base; elytra testaceous with the apex and irregular bands 
and markings black, sculptured as thorax ; legs yellow or ferruginous, 
with the femora often darker; the sculpture of this and the preceding 
species almost presents the appearance of very minute scales. L. 33-4 
mm. 
Male with the first four joints of the anterior tarsi dilated, and the 
spurs of the anterior tibiz more distinct than in female. 
Under bark, in fungoid growths, and in rotten wood of decaying beeches, &c. ; it 
has also been found on the flowers of the white-thorn; very local and, as a rule, rare ; 
Chatham (taken by Mr. Champion and Mr. J. J. Walker in plenty) ; Cobham Park ; 
Tonbriage; New Forest; Sherwood Forest (Blatch); Scarborough (Lawson); the 
species is very active in its movements, and in consequence is rather difficult to cap- 
ture; the only specimen I have ever seen alive (under bark in the New Forest) was 
gone immediately before I could secure it. 
HALLOMENWS, Panzer. 
This genus contains eight or nine species, of which three are found in 
Europe, four in North America, and one in Sierra Leone; our single 
British species much resembles Orchesia in general appearance, but may 
be at once known by the small spurs of the posterior tibiz; the third 
joint of the antenne, which are filiform, is very large, being longer than 
the first joint ; the last joint of the maxillary palpi is somewhat securi- 
form ; the thorax is deeply impressed with a fovea on each side at 
base ; the elytra are elongate with traces of striz, and the legs are slender 
and rather elongate. 
H. humeralis, Panz. (binotatus, Quens.; bipunctatus, Payk.). 
Elongate, depressed on dise, narrowed behind, clothed with fine and 
silky fuscous-yellowish pubescence, and with extremely close and fine 
subrugose punctuation, as in Clinocara ; head brown or reddish-brown, 
antenne moderately long, filiform, with the two basal joints narrower 
than the succeeding, colour brownish with the base clear yellow ; thorax 
reddish-testaceous with two longitudinal dark bands, or spots, not reach- 
ing base or apex, sides strongly narrowed in front, base slightly sinuate 
on each side and furnished above each sinuation with a short longi- 
tudinal impression, posterior angles right angles ; elytra as broad at base 
as base of thorax, brown or fusco-testaceous with a pale reddish spot at 
each shoulder ; under-side reddish-testaceous, with the breast darker ; 
legs pale yellowish-red, first joint of posterior tarsi at least as long as all 
the others taken together. L. 4-5 mm, 
In fungoid growth on old trees, in rotten willow, &c.; has been taken on palings ; 
rare; Forest Hill; Lee; Charlton (old fence, S. Stevens, and twenty specimens taken 
by Lewis and Power, Sept. 3, 1860) ; Northumberland and Durham district, rare, 
Long Benton ; Scotland, rare, in Trametes pini, &c., Tay and Dee districts. 
CONOPALPUS, Gyllenhal. 
This genus may be at once known by its 10-jointed antenne, which 
are elongate and filiform with the second joint small and the third about
