Pitcfnj-hrown, with ashy pubescence : head small, rounded, punctulated, densely 

 pubescent : eyes dusky-brown : thorax with an obsolete transverse impression 

 in front, densely pubescent, with a dorsal and two lateral streaks somewhat 

 denuded : elytra punctate-striate, dull ferruginous, variegated with irregular 

 united black spots and dense cinereous pubescence : sides and apex of the 

 abdomen beneath pale ferruginous: legs dull ferruginous, y^lih the joints 

 fuscescent ; anterior very long in the male, rather shorter in the female. 



Found sometimes on poplars and willows near London : I have 

 taken it at Coombe-wood, but not very frequently : it is far more 

 abundant in Norfolk, and has been found in Suffolk and Warwick- 

 shire. « Netley."— i?e7y. F. W. Hope. « Dalston-hall."— 2". C.

Pale testaceous, slightly glossy and pubescent, immaculate : forehead impressed : 

 eyes dusky-brown : thorax suddenly contracted anteriorly, with a transverse 

 impression, rather deeply punctate, and shghtly carinated : scutellum rounded : 

 elytra convex, entirely pale testaceous, punctate-striate, with all the inter- 

 stices obsoletely punctulate : breast pitchy-brown, densely clothed with pubes- 

 cence, obsoletely punctulate: legs pale testaceous yellow, with the femora 

 slightly clavate and dentate. 



The colour is sometimes of a deeper hue. 



Not uncommon formerly on some aspen-trees at the London 

 entrance of Coombe-wood, but of late I have not taken it in that 

 locality : the insect has been found in other parts, but not abund- 

 antly, I believe. " Cardew-mire."" — I'. C. Heysham, Es^.
