V. List of British Anthkocerids and their named forms. 



In a very able paper published in 1908 in the " Berl. Ent. Zeit.," 

 vol. liii., Clemens Dziurzynski divides the Palfearctic Species of the 

 Genus Zyti(cna = Anthrocera into three large groups, viz., I. the 

 PuRPURALiFORMES, in which we have jmrpuralis, etc.; II. the Trans- 

 ALPiNiFORMEs, in which we have trifulii, tilipenduliv, etc. ; and III. 

 the Carnioliciformes, in which we have achillecv., etc. He discusses 

 and shortly diagnoses the various species, races and aberrations, and 

 gives two very good plates of coloured figures. 



The following abstract gives a list of our British species and their 

 various named forms : — 



PURPURALIFORMES.
