76 HETEROMERA. [Anaspis. 
inwards towards one another, and enclose between them an almost 
circular smooth and shiny space ; these appendages reach quite to the 
apex or extend a little beyond it; the anterior tarsi are not strongly 
dilated. L. 23-34 mm, 
On flowers, &c.; taken in some numbers by Dr. Power at Ditton, Horsell, Cowley, 
and Claygate, and set aside by him as a new species under the name of A. variegata, 
but never, apparently, described ; as, however, there is already a Mordellistena varie- 
gata, F., | have, in order to avoid confusion, adopted a new name, and called it after 
the late Mr. W. Garneys, a mutual friend of Dr. Power and myself, to whom I owe 
the fact that I ever studied Coleoptera at all. Mr. Blatch has, [ believe, taken it at 
Tewkesbury. The only species I can find which may compare with this one is A. 
nigripes, Bris., which also has the ventral appendages in the male strongly 
divergeut and curved, but in this species, as its name implies, the legs are entirely or 
almost entirely black, the thorax is shorter and the appendages narrower. 
A. pulicaria, Costa (/forcipata, Muls.). Smaller than any of the 
other black species; in general appearance resembling a small A. 
frontalis, from which it may be known by its lesser size, and the 
characters of the male, in which sex the lacinie of the third segment are 
rather short, straight and parallel, and not curved inwards towards one 
another at apex ; the male characters and the darker legs (the anterior 
pair alone being mostly yellow, and the rest black) will distinguish it 
from A. Garneyst, and the finer sculpture and less moniliform antennz 
will separate it from A. rujilabris. L. 13-2% mm. 
On flowers, &c.; locally common; Shirley, Mickleham, Esher, Darenth Wood, 
Chatham, Chingford, Dulwich, West Wickham, Cowley, &e.; Dover; Hastings ; 
Brockenhurst; Glanvilles Wootton ; South Wales; Needwood, near Burton-on-Trent ; 
Repton ; Northumberland district, Wallington. In Dr. Power’s collection there are 
some very small specimens taken at Esher; the species has not been recorded from 
Scotland or Ireland, but has probably been overlooked in many localities. 
A. rufilabris, Gyll. (atra, F.; s.g. Nasipa, Emery). Elongate, 
subfusiform, black, or pitchy black, clothed with brownish or greyish 
silky pubescence, with the labrum, base of antenna, and tibial spurs 
testaceous, and the greater part of the anterior legs, and the posterior 
pair in part, rufescent or pitchy; antennze short, moniliform, more 
strongly so in male than in female ; thorax about one-third broader than 
long, evidently strigose, especially at sides, with the posterior angles 
somewhat acute ; elytra distinctly and comparatively strongly strigose 
transversely; in some specimens the legs are black or nearly black, and 
in others the greater part of the head and sides of thorax are pitchy or 
even reddish, L. 25-3; mm. 
Male with the anterior tarsi with the first joint transverse, slightly 
dilated, and the second and third joints strongly dilated, and with the 
third ventral segment of the abdomen furnished in middle with two 
nearly straight laciniz, approximate at base, and slightly divergent 
behind, not reaching the apex of abdomen. 
Female with the tarsi not dilated, and the abdominal segments 
simple.
