Black, clothed with cinereous down; the latter forming a bright spot in the 

 middle of the hinder margin of the thorax opposite the scutellum : elytra rufo- 

 ferruginous, with the base, suture, and two abbreviated oblique fasciae black : 

 the antennce at the base, the tibiae and tarsi, rufo-testaceous : femora clavate, 

 black. 



The elytra are sometimes black, with the apex alone rufo-ferruginous. 



Apparently not very common : it frequents grassy places, and has 

 been taken in Norfolk and Suffolk; also, I believe, within the me- 

 tropolitan district. " North Wales."— i?^t;. F. W. Hope. 



Genus CCLXXVIIL— Miarus, ScMnherr. 



Antennce geniculated, 10-jointed, rather slender, funiculus 5-jointed, its two basal 

 joints obconic, the other three transverse, rounded at the apex : club 4-jointed, 

 ovate. Rostrum filiform, slightly bent, inserted in a groove beneath the 

 thorax, which last is transverse, with the posterior angles rounded : elytra 

 somewhat depressed, subquadrate, not covering the apex of the abdomen : legs 

 short ; antei'ior tibiw with a minute hook at the apex. 

 The filiform rostrum, somewhat depressed, subquadrate, abbre- 

 viated elytra, absence of a pectoral groove, and 10-joiuted antennse 

 united, at once point out the more prominent characters of this 

 genus, the species of which frequent herbage of various kinds.
