A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE 



CAMPTOSOMATA (continued) 



Cryptocephalus moraei, L. Tring, scarce, 

 on Hypericum perforatum 



fulvus, Goeze. Wihtone, rare 



frontalis, Marsh. Chipperfield (Piffard) 



labiatus, L. Tring 

 CYCLICA 



Lamprosoma concolor, Sturm. Tring, rare 

 Timarcha tenebricosa, F. Tring, very 

 common. This species is certainly 

 attached to species of Galium ; I have 

 repeatedly noticed the larvae feeding 

 on Galium mollugo, in hedgerows 

 near the town 



violaceonigra, De G. Aldbury, not 



very common 



Chrysomela marginalis, Duft. Aldbury, 

 very scarce, on Linaria vulgaris 



staphylea, L. Tring and Hastoe 



polita, L. Tring, very common. 



Doubtless this insect prefers to feed 

 on various Labiate plants. I have 

 found it, both as larvae and imago, 

 swarming on Mentha aquatica in 

 marshy spots, and on Origanum vul- 

 gare in dry chalky situations

crataegi, Forst. Tring 

 Galerucella viburni, Payk. Tring, rare, on 



Viburnum opulus 



nympheae, L. Wihtone, rare 



sagittariae, Gyll. Wihtone, plentiful in 



marshy spots by the reservoir ; have

anchusas, Payk. Little Tring

phens) 



luridus, Scop. New Barnet (Newbery); 



Tring, very common, and extremely 

 variable as to colour, a light tes- 

 taceous form being very often met 

 with on the hills, and a very dark 

 (almost black) variety which occurs 

 more often in damp situations 



brunneus, Duft. Tring 



agilis, Rye. Baldock, one specimen 



only (Wood) 



suturellus, Duft. Tring, fairly com- 



mon on various species of Senecio 



atricillus, L. Tring, common, and 



apparently fond of Labiate plants as 

 well as Leguminous ones 



melanocephalus, All. Tring 



atriceps, Kuts. Tring ; I have one or 



two specimens captured near the 

 town, which Mr. Champion believes 

 belong to this species

men only
