22 Mr. G. R. Waterbouse's Notes on 



lenta, of Stephens's Manual (the northern species), and tlie C. dis- 

 tinguenda, of the same work (our southern insect), with the Lin- 

 nsean specimen, it agreed with neither. In the form and sculpture 

 of the thorax, and in the form of the orange band on the elytra, 

 it agrees with C. dislinguenda, but the elytra are much more 

 coarsely punctured tlian in that insect. On the other hand, when 

 compared with Stephens's sanguinolenla, it differed in being larger, 

 in having the sides of the thorax more rounded in front, the disc 

 smooth ; in having the elytra less rugose, the great punctures 

 rather less numerous, and in having the lateral orange band of a 

 different form. In fourteen specimens of our northern insect 

 which I examined, I found they all agreed in having this band 

 dilated at the humeral hump, and presenting an outline which is 

 convex in the direction of the suture, whilst in the Linnsean insect 

 this same band is of uniform width as in our distingue7ida, and the 

 outline is therefore concave in the inner side at the humeral hump. 

 Our northern species (which appeared to me to have the anterior 

 angles of the thorax more produced) is of a dullish black colour, 

 sometimes with an extremely faint bronze tint. D'lstinguenda, with 

 its comparatively fine sculpturing, is blue-black above: the Lin- 

 naean insect is black, with a very obscure tint of blue. I have 

 since seen specimens from Germany and other parts of Europe, 

 which appear to me are the same as the Linnsean insect, but 

 most of them (not all) had the disc of the thorax pretty distinctly 

 punctured. Of such specimens, from the continent, there are 

 many in the British Museum Collection, but in the same collection 

 I only saw one insect which perfectly agreed with our C, dislin- 

 guenda, and not one which quite agreed with our so-called san- 

 gidnolenta. This unsatisfactory note will serve to call attention to 

 the subject ; at present I am unwilling to identify either of the 

 two British insects alluded to with the sangninolenta of Linnaeus. 



27. Chrys. marginata (Faun. Suec. 16.5, 530) = Chrys., id. 



28. Chrys. marginella (Faun. Suec. 165, 531) = Helodes, id. 



29. Chrys. coccinea (Faun. Suec. \%Q, 532), Endomyc has, id. 



30. Chrys. oferacea (Faun. Suec. 166, 534!). Two specimens 

 on the label ; one is the Haltica Erucce, Steph. = Graptodera con- 

 sobrina, Allard ; the other is certainly the Grapt. oleracea of 

 Foudras, Allard, &c.
