marks; between first stria and suture rudiment of another stria,

(H. luctuosus, Aube. Long. 5j ; larg. 2§. Black; head in front 

 rufo-ferruginous ; sides of thorax much rounded ; on elytra two large 

 transverse spots at base ; two round at margin, nearer the apex ; two 

 at the apex ; and two oblong near the suture, a little beyond the 

 middle, all pale ; at apex denticulated. France, Sardinia.) 



12. H. halensis, Fab., Germ., Erich., Aube. H. areolatus, Drifts. 

 H. griseostriatus, Steph. Long. 4j — 4 J ; larg. 2 j — 2j. Taken 

 in a deep lake in the Isle of Mull by Mr. Hislop and myself; at Rae- 

 hills, Rev. W. Little : probably to be found in other parts of Scot- 

 land. 



(H. griseostratus, Beg., Gyll. Long. 4f ; larg. 2j. Thorax with 

 sides hardly rounded ; testaceous, with two dark spots at base; elytra 

 with seven lines more or less confluent; sixth and seventh lines some- 

 times interrupted, and united again in the form of spots : distinct from 

 H. halensis, Fab., by longer form, thorax narrower, lines on elytra 

 more confluent. Throughout Europe.) 



(H. Ceresyi, Aube. Long. 5 ; larg. 2J. Allied to H. griseostriatus, 

 but larger; thorax somewhat broader, posterior angles sharper; elytra 

 with four entire longitudinal lines, and a fifth rudimentary at suture.

(H. Sansii, Solier. Long. 5; larg. 2j. Resembles H. elegans, 

 from which it differs in outline ; margin of thorax more rounded ; 

 elytra more parallel and compressed ; the two teeth at apex of elytra 

 not so acute. Spain.) 



(H. depressus, Fab., Gyll., Steph. Found in Sweden : is dark 

 beneath, and of a more elongated shape than H. elegans, ///. : it is not 

 ascertained that it is a mere local variety. — Schaum, in Zool. 1891.) 



14. H. duodecim-pustulatus, Fab., &c. Scotland; throughout 

 England : I found a black variety in profusion in the Isle of Bute,
