354 RHYNCHOPHORA. [ Ceuthorrhynchus. 
moderately strongly punctured, with the anterior margin scarcely raised, 
broadly and not strongly constricted before apex, with a deep central 
furrow and small lateral tubercles ; elytra with comparatively fine and 
distinctly engraved striz, interstices rather broad, flat, interstices rugose, 
not strongly muricate at apex ; femora with small and inconspicuous 
teeth. L. 3-35 mm. 
Male with a rather blunt hook at apex of posterior tibiz. 
On Sisymbrium officinale ; local and usually rare; Barnes and Lee (Champion) ; 
Lee (Sharp) ; Tottenham (Waterhouse) ; Putney ; Hammersmith and Belvedere (S. 
Stevens and Power ; Dr. Power took twenty-two specimens at the former place on 
August 18, 1867); Lewisham; Portsmouth district (Moncreaff). 
Cc. verrucatus, Gyll. (biguttatus, Boh.). Rather a large and con- 
spicuous species ; oblong-ovate, rather depressed on disc, dull black, with 
the underside and a spot at base and another at apex of elytra thickly 
clothed with whitish scales, remainder of upper surface with brown scales ; 
single white scales are also dotted over the interstices ; rostrum mode- 
rately long ; antenne inserted before middle of rostrum, more or less 
ferruginous ; thorax rather long, with a central greyish-brown line, 
strongly constricted before apex, anterior margin raised, finely and very 
closely punctured, with indistinct central furrow and small lateral 
tubercles ; elytra with fine and narrow, scarcely punctured, striz, inter- 
stices broad and flat, only slightly muricate at apex; legs in part 
reddish-brown, femora dark, toothed. L. 3-4 mm. 
On the Horned Poppy or Sea Poppy (Glaucium luteum) ; very local, but commor 
where it occurs; Southend; Bopeep, near Hastings; Worthing; Hayling Island, 
common in autumn; Mr. Moncreaff, who has taken it in this locality, says that it is 
found at the roots among the dried leaves of the plant, and that it feigns death for a 
long time, so that much patience has to be exercised in searching for it; Seaton 
Beach, Devon, in abundance (Power); it appears to be confined to the south- 
eastern and southern coast, where it probably occurs wherever the food plant is 
found. 
C. resedz, Marsh. Black, depressed on disc, with scanty light- 
fuscous scales above and thick brownish-grey scales beneath ; tibiez, 
tarsi and apex of femora reddish ; at the base of suture there is a shiny 
spot of light scales ; the sides of the thorax are also more thickly clothed 
with scales, as also are certain parts of the elytra; rostrum long ; thorax 
rather long, constricted in front, closely and strongly punctured, with 
a central furrow marked by a line of scales, and small lateral tubercles ; 
elytra with fine strie and broad flat interstices, muricate at sides and 
apex ; legs rather stout, femora strongly toothed. L. 2} mm. 
On Reseda luteola and R. lutea; very local and, as a rule, rare; Gravesend ; 
Greenhithe; Strood; Chatham ; Dover; Deal; Arundel; Eastbourne; Portsmouth 
district ; Freshwater, Isle of Wight ; Swansea; Suffolk ; Cromer, Norfolk (abundant, 
J. J. Walker).

cinereous scales above, and with a conspicuous patch of white scales at
