the Scarborough specimens of C. quadriguttatus have the spots large 
and sharply defined, these examples resembling the normal continental 
form ; Scotch examples are rarely so well marked.” 
The following new species of Anaspis (vide Vol. V. p. 74) has been 
described by Mr. Champion in the Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine, 
Vol. ii. (New Series) p. 104 :— 
Anaspis septentrionalis, n.sp. Elongate, black, the front of the 
head and the palpi flavo-testaceous, thickly and finely pubescent, the pro- 
thorax and the elytra very finely transversely strigose. Antenne black, 
the three or four basal joints flavo-testaceous, filiform, in the male very 
elongate and slender, in the female considerably shorter, the penultimate 
joints in both sexes longer than broad, but much more elongate in the 
male than in the female ; prothorax about one-third broader than long, 
bisinuate at the base, the hind angles rectangular; elytra with the 
transverse strigze more distinct than on the prothorax ; beneath black ; 
legs comparatively slender—the anterior pair, including the coxa, flavo- 
testaceous, with the tarsi slightly darker—the middle pair fusco.testa- 
ceous, with the tibie, except at the base, piceous or fuscous, and the 
tarsi, except at the base of the first and second joints, infuscate—the 
hind pair piceous, the extreme base of the tibie excepted—the tibial 
spurs testaceous, the anterior and middle tarsi slender in both sexes. 
Male with the anterior tarsi very feebly dilated ; anterior and inter- 
mediate tibia sinuate within, the anterior pair slightly curved inwards 
towards the apex. Third ventral segment elongated, produced in the 
middle behind, and furnished at the apex with two long lacinie or 
appendages, these latter narrowly separated at base, almost straight, 
extending to the middle of the fifth segment, and becoming slightly 
divergent posteriorly, the space enclosed by them unimpressed ; fifth 
ventral segment very deeply and abruptly emarginate at the apex, but 
not at all depressed in the middle in front of the emargination, Length 
(with the head extended) 35-3# mm. 
Two examples of this species were captured by Mr, Champion at 
Aviemore, Inverness-shire, in July, 1876. 
Mr. Champion remarks that A. septentrionalis is closely allied to 
A. frontalis, L., but may easily be known from it by the more slender legs 
and antenne and by the well marked male characters. The male of 
A, frontalis has the fifth ventral segment broadly excavate in the middle 
from the apex nearly to the base (this part being quite unimpressed in 
A. septentrionalis) and the apex much less deeply emarginate; the 
lacinise very distinctly curved inwards at the apex; and the anterior 
tarsi strongly dilated (very feebly so in A. septentrionalis). The antennz 
in the male of A. septentrionalis are very elongate and slender, the 
insect thus resembling A. Garneysi, Fowler, but this latter has the 
laciniz strongly divergent and curved and enclosing a large broad space ;
