Insects. 1891 



The H. depressus, Fabr., Gyll., Sturm, found in Sweden, is dark beneath, and of a 

 more elongated shape ; and it is not ascertained that it is a mere local variety.

16. H. novem-lineatus, Rudd, Steph. 111., $ .

— parallelus, Aube, $ , var. 



This insect is not the true H. nigro-lineatus described by Steven in Schonherr 

 Synon. Ins., which is identical with H. enneagrammus of Sturm. I have retained for 

 the above species the very significant name of H. novem-lineatus, under which 

 it is described by Mr. Rudd in Stephens's Illustrations, vol. ii. p. 192. It is very 

 scarce and local, and Mr. Stephens has only the female. A fine series of both 

 sexes has been taken by Mr. Haliday, at a little lake in the Isle of Bute. 



17. H. picipes, Fabr., Gyll., Steph., Aube, &c. 



$ var. H. alternans, Kunze, Steph. 111. 

 H. lineellus, Gyll. 



18. H. dorsalis, Fabr., Gyll., Steph., Aube, &c. 

 Var. H. figuratus, Gyll. 



19. H. opatrinus, Germ., Steph., Aube. 



20. H. latus, Steph., Curtis fol. 



— ovatus, Sturm, Erichs., Aube. 



— castaneus, Heer. 



21. H. palustris, Linn., Sturm, Steph., Erichs. 



— sexpustulatus. Fabr., Gyll., Aube. 

 Dy. lituratus, Fabr., Panz. 



H. proximus, Steph. 111. 

 Var. H. cambrieusis, Steph., Curtis fol. 

 The original specimen of Dy. lituratus, Fabr., which I have seen in Fabricius's 

 own collection at Kiel, belongs to this species, and not to H. lituratus, Aube. 



22. H. vittula, Erichs. 



— ambiguus, Aube. 



— nigrita, Steph., not Fabr., Gyll., Aube. 



By comparison of original specimens, I have ascertained that H. vittula, Erichs., 

 and ambiguus, Aube, are identical. H. striola, Gyll., to which H. vittula had been 

 referred by Dr. Aube, is a distinct species. 



23. H. xanthopus, Steph. 



— planus, Steph. Man., not Fabr., Sec. 



— flavipes, Steph. 111., not Fabr. 



— lituratus, Brulle, Aube. 



This species being neither D. planus, Fabr. (v. No. 25), nor D. flavipes (v. No. 28), 

 nor D. lituratus, Fabr. (v. No. 21), the name of H. xanthopus is to be retained 

 for it.
