vages amongst the vines ; the former also lives on the Birch, 

 Alder, and Hazel, and the latter upon the Clierry and Sloe. 

 These beetles, according to the Baron Walckenaer, cut the 

 stalks of the leaves, making a cavity to receive their eggs ; 

 and the larvae roll up the leaves to live in, and feed upon the 

 budding grapes. 



Natural as this genus is, the rostrum varies greatly in length 

 in many species, and there are differences in the form of the 

 head on which sections may be founded : the following have 

 been recorded as natives of Britain, and many of them inhabit 

 the White-thorn in May and June. 



* Head ovate, broad at the base. 

 1. minutus Herb. 2. a^neovirens Mars. — Fragariae Schb.t 



3. atrocoeruleus Ste. 



4. cupreus Linn. — Panz. 20. 9. — punctatus Herb. 



Rare, taken at Darent and Epping, and Mr. Heysham has 

 found it near Carlisle. 



5. coeruleocephalus Fab. — Panz. 94-. 6. 



Taken, I believe, by Mr. Griesbach near Windsor. 



6. ffiquatus Linn.— Don. ^.pl. 121. f. 1. ^ 2. — Pz. 20. 8. 



7. Bacchus L.—Don. l.pl.S^.f. 1. 



Taken near Birch Wood and at Crayford in Kent, on the 

 Black-thorn, by the late Mr. Marsham, and at Barham by 

 Mr. Kirby. 



8. Fopuli L.-Pz. 20. 7. 



June and September, on Aspen and Poplars, Coomb-wood 

 and Norfolk. 



9. Betulae L.—Don. 3. pi. 74.— Betuleti F.—Pz. 20. 6.— ni- 

 tens Mar. var.

** Head obovate : eyes very prominent. 



19. ophthalmicus Sle. — sericeus Herb.? 



20. similis Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 642. The obovate head, oval 

 thorax, and copper-coloured apex of the rostrum distin- 

 guish this species, which looks at first sight like a small 

 variety of U. pubescens. 



I have 4 specimens taken by myself, I believe at Coomb- 

 wood. 



21. cylindricus i^zri. 22.1aevicollis5/^. 23. cyaneopennis 5/^. 



The Plant is Carlina vulgaris. Wild Carline Thistle.
