The French entomologists, now consider this as a variety of 
N. biguttatus ; and Mr. Bold’s specimens confirm this view, the 
additional impressions on the elytra being neither constant nor 
uniform.

On the banks of the Team near Ravensworth, and on the 
coast at South Shields and Hartlepool in April—J. Z. 
All the specimens examined have an indistinct pale spot near 
the apex of the elytra. It is more convex and less broad than 
the next, and the legs and antenne are almost black. We have, 
however, our doubts of its claims to specific distinction, as there 
are intermediate varieties.
