Fuscous-brown, pubescent, variegated : thorax with two dorsal tubercles and a 

 spine on each side : elytra with a broad di^ny-iuhite pubescent band at the base, 

 a little clouded on the shoulder, the apex near the sutiu-e with some black

 varied with cinereous : antennae with the base of each joint whitish-ash, the 

 apex black. 



Not uncommon in the woods within the metropolitan district ; at 

 Coombe-wood and Darenth I have frequently captured it, also at 

 Ripley and Hertford. " Botchardby Mill, Neale House, &c."" —

Ce. fasciculatus. Fabricius. — Po. fasciculatus. Steph. Catal. 197. i\^o. 2024. 



Fuscous-brown, pubescent, variegated : thorax with an obtuse glossy tubercle 

 on each side of the disc, and a small spine on each of the lateral margins : 

 elytra obtuse, the inner edge of the suture with a very minute acumination, 

 the disc with a longitudinal row of four or five elevated black fascicles of 

 hair, and outwardly towards the shoulders ivith an arcuated pubescent white 

 fascia, scarcely reaching to the suture : legs black, with the base ferruginous : 

 tibiae fuscous, with the base and a ring in the middle ferruginous : joints of 

 the antennte pale ferruginous at the base, black at the apex. 



Apparently very rare : I have seen only two indigenous examples, 

 both of which, I believe, were captured near Norwich.
