ing one which has not been figured in any of our works, that I 

 am aware of. 



1. tridentata Linn. — Curt. B. E. 582. S- — longimana Fab. ^. 

 Male the slenderest, the mandibles large. Green, thickly and minutely 

 punctured : 2nd and 3rd joints of antennag and the upper side of the 1st 

 ochi-eous ; base of thorax bisinuated, the angles somewhat lobed : elytra 

 ochreous : anterior legs the longest. 



New Forest and Clapham Park Wood, Bedfordshire, 

 Mr. Dale; also in Yorkshire; middle of May and middle of 

 June flying in Coomb and Darent Woods, J. C. ; it is found 

 on the Sallow and Hazel; Mr. J. Standish has beaten it, as 

 well as the larva, off the Birch, and he observed that the beetle 

 has a very strong and unpleasant scent. 



2. taxicornis Fab. — similis ///. 



Blue, thickly punctured; mandibles large and porrected in the males; 

 elytra testaceous, immaculate ; thorax broad, with the sides serrated, the 

 base somewhat truncated ; antennae violaceous, elongated, compressed and 

 serrated. Female with the head, thorax and legs much smaller and differ- 

 ently formed : 4 to 6 lines long. 



This insect being an inhabitant of the South of France and 

 Tuscany, cannot be considered as a native species : Gyllenhai 

 has admitted that it was described by mistake in the Faun. Suec. 



3. longipes Fab.? — Leach. — Don. 15. 520. 



Black, pubescent : elytra orange with a black spot at the shoulder and 2 

 beyond the middle; antennce short and stout, with the 2nd and base of 

 3rd joint orange ; anterior legs very long in the males, basal joint of the 

 tarsi very long, the following not elongated : 5^ lines. 



It lives on the Hazel, and Dr. Leach took a male the end of 

 May 1808 by the side of the road between Exeter and Sid- 

 mouth, and a female was found in Dr. Lettsom's Collection, 

 but these do not seem to agree exactly with Fabricius's insect. 



4. quadripunctata Linn. — Don. 4<. pi. 11 l.y^ 1. 2. — Panz. 106. 

 10. 



Black shining, antennae very short, 2nd and 3rd joints and a spot over 

 each eye orange; elytra orange-ochre, with a black spot on the shoulder 

 and a larger irregular transverse one beyond the middle : legs nearly 

 equal, but stoutest in the males : length 4^ lines. 

 North of England ; Epping and Bexley on the Oak ; Da- 

 rent and New Forest on the wing in a hot day, J. C. ; 9th 

 June in abundance, Mr. Dale. 



5. Hordei Fab. 



" Brassy, shining, front broad cupi-eous : antennae serrated, black : head 



large : anterior feet elongated." Fab. 



A variety is in the British Museum supposed to have been 

 taken on Barley near Glasgow, but as it is known only to in- 

 habit Barbary and Portugal, its appearance in Scotland must 

 be regarded as accidental. 



Malaxis (Liparis Kich.) Loeselii (Dwarf Malaxis) is another 

 of the rarities for which this work is indebted to Dr. G. B. 

 Jermyn of Swaffham Priors, who found it in abundance last 

 June.
