II. Antennae with the 5th joint longer than the 6th, incrassated in the male. 



2. consobrina Curi. Like A. Lepidii, but very thickly and more 

 coarsely punctate, dull green ; antennas black, 5th joint 

 elongated, 6th small, the following broader and compressed, 

 tarsi brown : 1 line. 3. Brassicae Oliv. 



4. ochripes Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 630. <?. The larger size and 

 pale legs distinguish this pretty species from A. Brassicce; it 

 was first discovered and communicated by the Rev. S. Hey, 

 of Ockbrook, Derbyshire. 



5. Nemorum Lin?t. This is the destructive Turnip-^;!/. I 

 regret having nothing to add from my own knowledge to 

 the numerous statements already published regarding its 

 oeconomy, but some benefit perhaps might be derived from 

 destroying those cruciferous plants, such as Erysimum 

 Alliaria and Cardamhie praioisis (pls.569and J 79), to which 

 the Alticas are so strongly attached, for they grow in abun- 

 dance in every hedge and meadow, and appear long before 

 the turnips come up and attract and give support to the pa- 

 rents of the future swarms that are to sweep away the crops 

 of the farmer. I believe in its perfect state that it is found 

 all the year round, but it is very abundant in May and Sept., 

 and not un frequently attacks the radish and horseradish. 



III. Antennae with the 4th and 5th joints simple. 



a. Elytra finely punctate. 



* Thorax without a transverse impression.
