48. Chrys. Barbai'ece (Faun. Suec. 169, 552) is a small black 

 Cryptocephalus, a trifle less than the Cr. Morcei : the whole front 

 of the head, the basal half of the antennae, the front and side mar- 

 gins of the thorax (narrowly edged), and the lateral margin of the 

 elytra on the fore half, pale yellow. The legs (with the excep- 

 tion of the posterior femora) are also yellow. The thorax is 

 smooth, the elytra coarsely and rather irregularly punctate-striate, 

 and somewhat rugulose in parts. Apparently the Cryjjt.Jlavipes 

 (Fab.), Suffr. Linn. Ent. ii. 170, 59. 



49. Chrys. sericea (Faun. Suec. 169, 554), Cryptocephalus 

 «?»??7?5 of Steph. = Cr. Hypochceridis of Suffrian. I compared the 

 insect with specimens of sericeus, SufFr., aureolus, SufFr., and 

 Hypochcsridis. The Linnsean specimen is a female, and is de- 

 cidedly smaller than either of the two former insects, has the 

 punctuation both of the thorax and elytra stronger, and, on the 

 thorax, more dense. But I was more influenced by the condition 

 of the fovea on the terminal segment of the abdomen: it agreed 

 ■with that in my female specimens of Hypochcsridis, in being less 

 deep than in the other two species named, and in having its mar- 

 gins less acute, in fact, somewhat rounded. The colouring of the 

 under parts also perfectly resembled that of Hyjoochceridis, being 

 of a dark, and less brilliant green when compared with the other 

 species. 



50. Chrys. Coryli (Faun. Suec. 169, 555), Cryptocephalus, id. 



51. Chrys. lahiata (Faun. Suec. 169, 553), Cryptocephalus, id. 



52. Chrys. Pini (Faun. Suec. 170, 556), Crj/ptocephalus, id. 



53. Chrys. sexpunciata (Faun. Suec. 170, 559), Cryptocephalus, 

 id. 



" 54. Chrys. merdigera (Faun. Suec. 171, 563) = Crioceris brun- 

 nea, Fab. It will be seen that Linnaeus describes the red-legged 

 species as the typical condition of his insect, and afterwards adds, 

 '* Variat capite et pedihus nigris." 



55. Chrys. Nymphcece (Faun. Suec. 171, 5Q5) =. Galleruca 

 Nymphcece, Gyll. 



56. Chrys. Caprea (Faun. Suec.'171, 5QQ) = Galleruca Caprece, 

 Gyll.
