The European’ Catalogue gives ‘ oculata Thunb. Diss. 107” asa 
synonym of the ab. 9-punctata L. The page should be 117, as shown 
above. We here find there are no less than three species with the 
name oculata. Fabricius’s oculata, 1792, sinks as a homonym Thun- 
berg’s 1781. Thunbere’s oculata, 1781, is quite a different insect to 
that of his 1801, and belongs to another genus; the description is as 
follows :— ‘ 
“©, ocunata: Elytris rubris, punctis novem nigris, circulo flavo circum oculos.

Mr. W. EH. Sharp took one specimen of this ab. in company with 
the type, which occurred in abundance, under bark of palings near the 
sea at Skegness, in 1912. As before mentioned I swept a specimen at 
Sandown, I. of W., in 1913. Mr. Ashdown has taken it at Ripley, 
Oxshott, Mickleham, and Leatherhead. The bands which join the 
spots together vary in breadth.
