 base, and the elytra are irregularly marmorated with grey

 I.e. 



A specimen of this handsome insect, which I have brought 

 forward on M. Brisout's authority, has been for some years 

 in the collection of my friend Mr. T. J. Bold, to whom it 

 was given by Mr. J. Kidson Taylor, who took it in the 

 Manchester district, and who has also (with Mr. J. R. Hardy) 

 found it recently. It has also been taken by Mr. J. Chap- 

 pell, at Cleethorpes, and on the Lancashire coast. 



It differs from chrysanthemi, amongst other things, in its 

 narrower build, and in not having the lateral white marking 

 carried on to the scutellar patch ; and from asperifoliaruni 

 (which it more closely resembles) in not being clothed with 

 white scales beneath, in its much less developed femoral 

 teeth, and in the more conspicuous sutural white patch 

 towards the apex, and smaller white markings on the sides 

 of its elytra.

I have detected a single example of this fine species among 

 some British Rhynchophora sent to me for names by their 

 captor, Mr. Douglas, who, however, can give me no precise 

 locality for this insect. C. olens seems to be spread over 

 the whole of Europe, and to be not rare near Paris, on Ver- 

 bascum, in spring. 



It is about the size of C. thapsuSj with the usual discal
