 anal i/^j/Ze elongate, acute, and slightly castaneous, or fuscescent; legs and 

 antenna; also ferruginous.

Fabricivis having a Mo. ferruginea, I have employed Marsham's second name, 

 or that applied to the variety, to designate this species. 



Of this species I found several examples at Ripley in July, 1827 ; 

 and I have also taken it at Darenth and Coombe woods, and near 

 Hertford. " Near Swansea, frequent." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq.
