Page 136. Byrrhus pilula. To the preceding varieties of this insect I suspect 



the following may be added : — 

 Var. 5. Byr. alpinus. Ent. Mag. {Newman) v. i. p. 53. — Black; elytra finely 



punctured, with eleven elevated longitudinal lines : rather larger than By. 



pUula, with the head, thorax, elytra, abdomen, and legs black, with some 



scattered ha'rs. 

 Taken in grassy places on Snowdon. 



Var. £. Byr. rufiventer. Ent. Mag. {Newman) v. i. p. 508. — Of a golden- 

 brown and tomentose, the under side and legs ferruginous; antennae black. 

 Very abundant about London ; in profusion at Coombe wood in May lust, 



varying in all shades beneath to deep black : I therefore cannot but refer it 



to the Byr. pilula.
