C. asperifoliarum, Gyll. (quadrimaeulatm, Marsh). Black, 

 rather depressed above, under surface thickly clothed with white 

 scales, elytra with a white spot at base of suture and a white lunate 

 spot towards the margin on each side, situated about middle ; the 

 apex is also furnished with white markings ; in fresh specimens there 

 are a considerable number of white scales, besides these patches, both" 

 on the thorax and the elytra ; antenna long, red, with club darker ; 

 thorax short, deeply and narrowly constricted before apex, without 

 lateral tubercles, but with the sides simply rounded and convex ; 

 elytra with narrow indistinctly punctured strite, interstices broad and 

 flat ; tibise and tarsi red, femora dark, strongly toothed. L. 2-2| 

 mm. 



Male with the anterior and posterior tibiae armed with a small hook, 

 and the intermediate pair with a larger one ; last ventral segment of 

 abdomen impressed. 



Cn various species of Boragiuaccae ; found on Echium, Anchusa, Symphytum, 

 Lithogpermum, JtTyosoti-s and Cynagloesum ; locally common ; generally distributed 

 in the London district and the Southern counties ; Midlands, local, Leicester, Tarn- 

 worth, Bewdley, Birmingham district, &c. ; Cromer, Norfolk; Mablethorpe, Lincoln- 

 shin; ; Southport, Lancashire ; Northumberland and Durham district ; not recorded 

 from Scotland. 



C. arcuatus, Heibst. (occultu*, Gyll.). Closely allied to the 

 preceding from which it differs in having the thorax distinctly raised 

 angularly at sides, and in having the second interstice of each elytron 

 furnished with a white spot at base, which makes the white patch at 

 suture much more conspicuous ; the teeth of the femora also are 

 smaller ; the underside is less thickly clothed with scales and the white 

 markings at the sides of the elytra are also smaller ; besides these 

 characters the thorax is only slightly constricted before apex and the 

 anterior margin is less raised ; the antenna?, tibiae and tarsi are yellowish- 

 brown. L. 2-2^ mm. 



On Labiata?, probably Lyeopus and Mentha ; very rare; Manchester (Hardy, 

 Taylor and Sidebotham); Chat Moss (Restou) ; Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, and 

 Southport (Chappell) ; received from Sherwood Forest (Gorham) ; Micklehain, 

 Surrey (Power). 



C. eupborbiae, Bris. (cni.i; W.C.). About the size of the two pre- 

 ceding species and resembling them in general appearance, but easily 

 distinguished by having the antennae, tibiae and tarsi black ; ovate, 

 rather convex, black, thorax with a whitish central line, not strongly 

 constricted before apex, with rather obsolete lateral tubercles, closely 

 punctured; elytra with a patch at scuteilum, a lunate spot on each 

 side, and markings at apex, white, with rather strong punctured striae; 

 underside clothed with whitish scales ; femora strongly toothed. L. 

 2-2^ mm.
