APPENDIX. 413 



club black ; thorax black, M'ith a chalybeous tinge ; elytra testaceous, with 

 black hairsj and the entire margins black ; the legs and entire under surface 

 black, with testaceous hairs. 

 " Taken by Mr. Bevington, in immense profusion, on the sea coast in the north 

 of Ireland." — New7nan, I. c., to whom I am indebted for the species : also 

 found in Scotland. 



Page 232. ^Valgus hemipterus. Mr. Babington has an English specimen of this 

 insect given to him by the Rev. A. Badger, who believes he captured it at 

 Chelsea. 



Page 233. Cetonia stictica. Curtis, v. viii. pi. 374. — Specimens have been 

 taken (it is here said) near Chichester : this insect is decidedly synonymous 

 with Sc. Greenii of Donovan, as I now possess the original specimen from 

 which his figure was taken. 



Page 234. Family BUPRESTID^. 



For the names of the modern genera, into which the British species of this rare 

 family have been divided, I must refer to columns 39 and 40 of the second 

 edition of my Nomenclature, being unable to describe them, from want of 

 specimens of some of them, though I may observe that the genera alluded 

 to nearly correspond with the sections I have introduced : — one new species 

 has occurred, viz. — 



Page 235. Sp. 1 a. fCHRYSOBOTHRis affinis. Fab. Syst. Eleut. ii. 199. — Pur- 

 puruscenti-cenea, ohscura, punctatissima, elytris vix costatis, marglne concolo- 

 ribus, punctis duobus disci aureis impressis. (Long. corp. 6 lin.) 



Brassy purple, obscure, very much punctured; elytra scarcely ribbed, the 

 margin concolorous, the disc with two impressed golden points. 



Taken by the Rev. F. W. Hope.

As stated in page 374, vol. iii., Eschscholtz has subdivided this family into 

 several genera ; but as most of them correspond with those I proposed, I 

 shall merely refer to the second edition of my Nomenclature, and briefly 

 point out the few that differ. My genus Cataphagus he divides into — 



Adrastus, Eschscholtz, 



Which embraces my first two species, and differs externally from Dalopius in 

 being of a more elongate linear form, and less convex. 



Dalopius, Eschscholtz, 



Includes my third species of Cataphagus, which appears to differ chiefly in 

 being of a more robust and less elongate form than the preceding, and in 

 being convex, 



Agriotes, Eschscholtz, 



Corresponds with § B. of Cataphagus, p. 249, to which may be added a new 

 British species, viz. —
