166 DOLERUS POSSILENSIS. 



Dolerus FISSUS (Vol. I, p. 176). 



The d of this species is described by Thomson 

 under anthr acinus. Konow refers planatus, Htg., to 

 hsematodes, and he gives varispinus, Htg., non Thorns., 

 as a synonym (D. E. Z., 1890, 251). 



Dolerus gonagra (Yol. I, p. 170). 



Brischke has described the larva of this species 

 (1. c.j 45, T. ii, fig. 6). It is 20 mm. long, yellowish- 

 green ; down the back is a darker dirty green line, 

 and there is a broader similarly coloured line along the 

 sides, the upper border of which is sharply defined. 

 Legs with brown claws. Head shining ; eye- spots 

 black ; the antennse conical, brown. The younger 

 larvsB have on the stripes and over the legs black 

 streaks. 



Brischke fed them on " grass " in June. 



Dolerus oblongus (Vol. I, p. 177). 



This is not, it appears to me, as quoted by Konow 

 (D. E. Z., 1890, 251), brevicornis, Zad., as that has 

 the thorax entirely punctured, while in oblongus the 

 sides close to the wings and base of scutellum are 

 very little punctured, and the abdomen is shining, in- 

 stead of being, as in brevicornis, without lustre ; nor 

 are the calcaria " very stout, needle-like," of " unusual 

 length," and " conical." 



Dolerus possilensis (Yol. I, p. 178) 



= anthracinus, Thorns., non Kl. = varispinus, Knw., 

 non Htg. = coruscans, Knw. (D. E. Z., 1890, p. 251), 

 which name it will bear.
