Gtmneteon Beccabung^e, Linn. var. f This is the insect named 

 villosulus in Mr Murray's " Catalogue." The thorax is clothed 

 with short snowy pile, the elytra red, with suture dusky. It 

 was so named by M. Chevrolat, who saw it in my collection 

 many years ago. The true villosulus, which I have taken in 

 Wilts, is a larger insect, clothed with long griseous pile, and 

 frequents- Veronica Anagallis. This variety ? was taken at 

 Lurgie Loch — one in 1846, a second in 1852 — by sweeping over 

 Veronica scutellata. The common dark form is not uncommon 

 near Girrick on V. Beccabunga.
