collection, taken in the West of England. It appears to be 

 abundant near York on heather (Crotch). 



101. Haltica (Graptodera) longicollis, Allard, loo. 



cit. 83, 36; G. R. Crotch, Cat. and loc. cit. 

 Mr. Crotch records three examples from Scotland, one of 

 which was, I believe, named by Mr. Allard. I have the 

 insect both from Scotland and Scarborough, and it has long 

 been known to Mr. Waterhouse, having been sent by him 

 to M. Kutschera, who has not yet returned it. It is of an 

 elongate and somewhat parallel form, sometimes dull blue- 

 black in colour, and may be known, as Mr. Crotch remarks, 

 by its singularly dilated anterior tarsi — a character entirely 

 omitted by M. Allard and other authors, and the possession 

 of which ought at once to have been remarked, as any tan- 

 gible differences are so rare in this genus. 



102. Haltica (Graptodera) helianthemi, Allard, loc. 



cit. 85, 38 ; G. R. Crotch, Cat. and loc. cit. 

 "Three or four specimens named by M. Allard." 

 It appears to be wider and more convex than H. oleracea, 

 with the elytra less strongly punctured. 



103. Phyllotreta flexuosa, Ent. Heft. 71, 42; Kuts., 



Wien. Mon. (1860), 205 ; G. R. Crotch, Cat. and loc. 

 cit. ; nee Allard (= utidulata, Kutz.). 

 " One specimen from Mr. Wollaston's collection, named 

 by M. Allard." 



It appears to be one of the more convex section, with the 

 bands recurved towards the suture only at the apex, and in- 

 terrupted in the middle by a wide notch on the outer side. 



104. Aphthona atratula, Allard, loc. cit. 405, 128 ; G. 



R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2. 

 This insect appears to be allied to A. herhigraday but
