358 RHYNCHOPHORA, [ Ceuthorrhynchus. 
On Veronica ; according to M. Brisout, however, it occurs on Euphorbia sylvatica, 
whereas M. Bedel thinks it is attached to one of the Labiate, probably Teucriwm 
scorodonia; in chalky and sandy places; rare; Mickleham and Darenth (Power) ; 
Mickleham, on Veronica (S. Stevens) ; Headiey Lane (Gorham); Shirley, Dartford 
and Deal (Champion); Whittlesea (Blatch); Scotland, rare, Solway district, Dum- 
fries (Sharp). 
Cc. chrysanthemi, Germ. Rather short ovate; black, antenne 
ferruginous with club dark, tibie reddish, tarsi light, reddish or reddish- 
testaceous, underside clothed with whitish scales; thorax with the 
sides and a central line whitish, elytra with the base of suture and a 
line on each side of the longitudinal patch white, and with various 
white lines, centre of disc behind middle black with a surrounding of 
whitish scales, fourth interstice with a white line ; rostrum long and 
curved; thorax strongly constricted before apex, with the apical 
margin raised, and with obtuse lateral tubercles, closely punctured ; 
elytra with feeble punctured strie; intermediate and posterior 
femora moderately strongly toothed, anterior femora feebly toothed. 
L. 23-27 mm.

This species has usually been regarded as synonymous with C. cam- 
pestris, but, according to Bedel, the last named species is the same as 
C. variegatus, Ol. (lepidus, Gyll.), which is closely allied to C. chry- 
santhemi, but differs in the fact that the fourth interstice of the elytra 
has no special white stripe, and that the scales of the elytra are white 
and cinereous, whereas in C. chrysanthemi they are white, black, 
and yellowish ; it is very probable that both species are British, 
but I do not feel sure whether they can be regarded as distinct. 
C. triangulum, Poh. (vicinus, Kraatz.). Very like the preceding, 
which it resembles in the general arrangement of the scales, but easily 
distinguished by its rather smaller size, and longer subtrapezoidal 
thorax, which has the apical margin not or scarcely raised; the elytra 
are subrectangular (whereas in C. chrysanthemi they are almost 
rounded), and the black patch behind middle of disc is reduced to a 
comparatively narrow streak of the same width as the white longi- 
tudinal patch before scutellum ; the general clothing of the upper 
surface is thicker and greyer; in the male the anal ventral segment is 
terminated by two tufts of white hairs. L, 2 mm. 
Sandy places on the coast and also inland; on Achillea millefolium ; rare; Birch
