358 RHYNCHOPHORA. [Ceuihorrlnjnclus. 



On Veronica ; according to M. Brisout, however, it occurs on Euphorbia sylvafica, 

 whereas M. Bedel thinks it is attached to one of the Labiate, probably Teucrium 

 scorodonia; in chalky and sandy places ; rare; Mickleham and Darenth (Power); 

 Mickleham, on Veronica (S. Stevens) ; Headley Lane (Gorham) ; Shirley, Dartfbrd 

 and Deal (Champion); Whittlesea (Blatch); Scotland, rare, Solway district, Dum- 

 fries (Sharp). 



C. chrysanthemi, Germ. Kather short ovate ; black, antennse 

 ferruginous with club dark, tibiae reddish, tarsi light, reddish or reddish- 

 testaceous, underside clothed with whitish scales ; thorax with the 

 sides and a central line whitish, elytra with the base of suture and a 

 line on each side of the longitudinal patch white, and with various 

 white lines, centre of disc behind middle black with a surrounding of 

 whitish scales, fourth interstice with a white line ; rostrum long and 

 curved ; thorax strongly constricted before apex, with the apical 

 margin raised, and with obtuse lateral tubercles, closely punctured ; 

 elytra with feeble punctured striae ; intermediate and posterior 

 femora moderately strongly toothed, anterior femora feebly toothed. 

 L. 2|-2f mm. 



On Chrysanthemum leucanthemum ; local but not uncommon where it occurs; 

 Cluygate, Caterham, Ashtead, Forest Hill, Woking, Walton-on-Thames, Lee,

 Dover; Hastings; Portsmouth district ; Glanvilles Woottou ; Norfolk ; Gloucester ; 

 KnowJe ; Bevvdley; Knaresborougb, Yorkshire. 



This species has usually been regarded as synonymous with C. cam- 

 pestris, but, according to Bedel, the last named species is the same as 

 C. variegatus, 01. (lepiclus, Gyll.), which is closely allied to C. chry- 

 santhemi, but differs in the fact that the fourth interstice of the elytra 

 has no special white stripe, and that the scales of the elytra are white 

 and cinereous, whereas in C. chrysanthemi they are white, black, 

 and yellowish ; it is very probable that both species are British, 

 but I do not feel sure whether they can be regarded as distinct. 



C. triang-ulum, Boh. (vicinus, Kraat/.). Very like the preceding, 

 which it resembles in the general arrangement of the scales, but easily 

 distinguished by its rather smaller size, and longer subtrapezoidal 

 thorax, which has the apical margin not or scarcely raised; the elytra 

 are subrectangular (whereas in C. chrysanthemi they are almost 

 rounded), and the black patch behind middle of disc is reduced to a 

 comparatively narrow streak of the same width as the white longi- 

 tiidinal patch before scutellum ; the general clothing of the upper 

 surface is thicker and greyer ; in the male the anal ventral segment is 

 terminated by two tufts of white hairs. L. 2 mm. 



Sandy places on the coast and also inland ; on Achillea millefoUum , rare ; Birch
