CHRYSOMELID^. — EUMOLPUS. 363 



Out of hundreds of specimens of Cr. minutus, I have never found this species in 

 company therewith; and as the present insect does not occur in Sweden, 

 -whereas the one above-named is plentiful in that country, I consider that it 

 is perfectly distinct therefrom. 



Found at Darenth-wood, and in Devonshire, in June. 



Genus CCCCXL— Eumolpus, Fabricius. 



Antenna; distinctly shorter than the body, with the basal joint subobconic; the 

 terminal joints gradually increasing and broader, frequently compressed-di- 

 lated, the apical joint elongate, conic. Palpi thickened at the apex, the ter- 

 minal joint subovate: Amri retracted: et/e;? prominent: ^/lorax much narrower 

 than the elytra, the back very convex, subgibbous : body elongate-ovate : elytra 

 convex, entire : legs elongate : femora clavate. 



The genus Eumolpus differs from Cryptocephalus by the dis- 

 similarity of the structure of its antennae, as well as by the narrow- 

 ness of the thorax compared with the elytra, the length of legs, &c.

Black, pubescent, punctured, with the base of the antenna, the tibi^ occasion- 

 ally, the middle of the femora and the elytra of a sanguineous brown: head 

 with a frontal groove: elytra obsoletely substriate: legs elongate: femora 

 clavate. 



Indicated by Turton as British, but I have never seen an indigenous specimen. 



Genus CCCCXII. Colaspis, Fabricius. 



Antennce nearly as long as the body, subflUform or scarcely thickened at the 

 apex, the articulations, especially at the base, elongate-cyUndnc. Faipi hii-
