Easily separated from the next species by its narrower head and 
yellower elytra. I have not seen any recently-captured examples of 
this species, and I am indebted to Mr. J. C. Dale for the loan of his 
specimens, and the following communication with respect to their 
capture :—“The first was taken by sweeping grass on the downs by 
“ Marley Wood, Lulworth, afterwards on the heath by the Aylestone 
“in Purbeck, and since near Ryde, Isle of Wight.” 
Curtis, who supposed it to be the leporinus, Lin. (B. E., 673, 9), 
says—“in abundance on coarse grass by the side of the Avon, Clifton.” 
Time of appearance, June and July. 
B.—Crown transverse. 
Species 2.—OLIARUS LEPORINUS.

June, on Tamarix.
