A single specimen was taken by Mr. F. A. Harrison at Frinton- 

 on-Sea, Essex, during the summer of 1915. Unfortunately 

 Mr. Harrison does not remember the circumstances of its 

 capture. 



It may be an importation, but, like Gatharmiocerus viaritiiaus 

 and other exceedingly local coast weevils, it might easily have 

 been overlooked, especiall}^ as the locality appears to have pro- 

 vided but few attractions for British collectors.
