NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1866. 97 



111. Thyamis fusculus, Kutschera, Wiener Ent. Monat- 



schrift, vol. viii (1864), p. 273 {Longitarsus) ', C. O. 



Waterhouse, Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii, p. 229. 

 Described as new to science by Herr Kutschera, from 

 British specimens sent to him for inspection by Mr. G. R. 

 Watei'house. It appears to differ from T. brunneus and 

 T, minusculus in being less convex and more thickly punc- 

 tured on the elytra ; but it is impossible to give further 

 characters or locality with certainty, as Herr Kutschera has 

 as yet been too much occupied to vouchsafe an acknowledg- 

 ment even of the receipt of Mr. Waterhouse's insects (though 

 sent to him about two years ago, with a complete list of 

 English synonyms, &c.), or to return the types. 



112. Thyamis Waterhousei, Kutschera, loc. cit. ; C. O. 



Waterhouse, Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii, p. 229. 

 Also described from Mr. Waterhouse's specimens, and 

 compared with T. lallotce and T. Itjcopi, from the former 

 of which it appears to be distinguished by its more glossy 

 surface and reddish colouring, and from the latter by its 

 larger size, greater convexity and breadth, and by its coarser, 

 and, on the elytra, very indistinctly striate punctuation. 



113. Thyamis gracilis, Kutschera, loc. cit. ; C. O. Wa- 



terhouse, Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii, p. 229. 



Also described from specimens sent by Mr. Waterhouse. 



This insect is not uncommon on Senecio Jacohcea at 

 Mickleham and elsewhere in Surrey. It is very like a small 

 T. ochroleuca, but without the dark colouring of the apical 

 half of the hinder tibiae ; its thorax, moreover, is broader 

 than in that species.
