? dark brown above. Antennae of 3' not reaching to the

(? . Head and thorax clothed with ochreous hairs. 

 Clypeus largely punctured. Antennae short, not reach- 

 ing to the scutellum, 4th joint not more than half as 

 long as 3rd. Vertex punctured, rather quadrate. Meso-

 tantly and finely punctured ; metathorax finely rugose. 

 Abdomen shining, subovate ; 1st segment scarcely punc- 

 tured, the following segments deeply and distinctly; 

 segments narrowly impressed and testaceous at the 

 apex ; 1st and 2nd with a red apical band ; apical 

 segment clothed with short brown hairs. Abdomen 

 beneath clothed with long pale hairs, segments with 

 rather long apical fringes of golden ciliae. Legs with 

 brownish hairs. 



5 . Larger and wider than the 3 . Head and thorax 

 clothed with brown hairs ; thorax more closely punctured 

 than in the c? ; puncturation of the abdomen fine and 

 deep, and closer than in the ^ , all the segments nar-

Hah. Not a common species ; it occurs in June, and 

 is very partial to the Bryony, I have taken it pretty 

 freely at Chobham ; it has also been taken at Highgate 

 and Weybridge ; Blackwater, Hants ; Bideford and Ilfra- 

 combe, N. Devon. 



The short antennae of the ^ and the punctured body 

 of the 2 will separate this species at once from ros(e ; 

 the dark scopae and sculpture of the metathorax from 

 bimaculata.
