NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1869. 105 



by ihe late Chas. Turner at Rannoch, on pines, and states it 

 to occur in other parts of Scotland. His statement that the 

 only form found hei'e is " entirely red, except the head and 

 rostrum, which is shininj^," has the word *' black" omitted 

 from the end, by an obvious printer's mistake. 



The species seems to act up to its name by being entirely 

 black in Sweden. 



156. Anthonomus britannus, des Loges, 1. c, 429 (de- 



scribed) ; E. C. Rye, 1. c. ; G. R. Crotch, 1. c. 

 pubescens, Walton, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1844. 

 Three specimens of this insect were taken in Hereford- 

 shire by Mr. Doubleday (not by Mr. Smith, as stated by 

 Mr. Crotch). Its entirely reddish-ferruginous colour, short, 

 dull rostrum, feeble femoral teeth and small size will distin- 

 guish it from any other of its genus. One of the above- 

 mentioned specimens given to Mr. Crotch by Mr. Smith 

 appears to have been communicated by the former gentleman 

 to M. des Loges, who has described the species solely from 

 England. 



157. Anthonomus Chevrolati, des Loges, 1. c, 430 



(described); E. C. Rye, 1. c. ; G. R. Crotch, 1. c, 

 308 ( Chevrolatii), 

 Described from Algiers (on Cratcegus oxii/acantha),'Ljon3, 

 the district of the Lower Seine, Pyrenees, Lower Alps, 

 Allier, and England (communicated by Mr. Crotch). This 

 insect appears to be allied to A. uhni, and to be distinguished 

 from that species by its very convex thorax, the smooth in- 

 terstices of its elytra, and the curving of the anterior fascia 

 towards the scutellum. Mr. Crotch says of it :—*^ Rare; 

 taken formerly by Mr. E. W. Janson near London."
