ALPHITOPOLA MACULOSA. 33 



original description of which is reproduced above. This 

 specimen differs from the typical maculosa in having 

 the upper side closely covered with a greyish white 

 tomentum ; the markings on the head, thorax and elytra 

 are very indistinct and of a dusky-brown colour, and in 

 places where the tomentum has been removed it is 

 shining black ; the antennae and legs are red-brown, the 

 base of the former and the femora are dusky and 

 densely covered with fine white pubescence. In some 

 respects it approaches very close to A. rustica, Fahrs. 



Specimens of the above-named beetles in their larval and 

 chrysalis state, for figurine), and notes of their life-history, 

 would be very desirable. 



Besides the three foregoing species of " Longhorns," 

 Mr. Bairstow observes, "there are numerous other kinds 

 more or less injurious to timber"; and Miss Glanville 

 has sent specimens of six other species for determina- 

 tion, but as no special notes accompany them, it would 

 appear more advisable to defer giving figures and 

 descriptions of them until some definite information 

 is obtained concerning their habits and the kind of trees 

 which they attack. The species sent are as follows :
