The Elater pomonae of Stephens' collection I have long 

 thought was an immaculate variety o{ E. ep hi ppium, but 

 upon comparing Stephens' insect, and others like it which 

 I have received from the New Forest (found by Turner), 

 with specimens o^ Ej>hippiuin, I find the forvner have the 

 head and thorax covered with long black hairs, whilst the 

 same parts in my specimens of Ephippium are clothed 

 with short, and for the most part palish, hairs. I have 

 immaculate specimens taken by myself in company with 

 Ephippium, and which agree in every respect with the 

 others, excepting in the want of the dark patch. Turner's 

 insect I do not think was taken in company with Ephip- 

 pium, in the normal condition at least. There is amongst 

 Stephens' specimens, placed to represent his E. pomoncE, 

 one specimen evidently of a distinct species, and which I 

 regard as the E. prceusta (Fab.) Germ.
