4800 Insects. 



September, 1854, also in a small stream in Isle of Man : Mr. Newman 

 has found the same variety at Leominster. Long. 6 ; larg. 3.

 Steph. III.: $ var. H. lineellus, Gyll., Aube. Occasionally near 

 London ; Norfolk, Salop, Devonshire, Southend. I am indebted to 

 my friend Mr. Wollaston for recent examples which he took at 

 Killarney, Autumn, 1854. Long. 5 ; larg. 2f . 



18. H. dorsalis, Fab., Gyll., Steph., Aube. More frequent than the 

 above. I have taken it freely in Norfolk and Huntingdonshire, also 

 Cambridge Fens ; Cantire ; near London. This insect varies much 

 in maculation. Long. 4| — 5; larg. 2^ — 2§. 



(H. lapponum, Gyll. Long. 5 ; larg. 2j. Somewhat depressed ; 

 punctulated; pubescent; size and general outline of H. dorsalis; 

 head, thorax and elytra dark brown ; margins of two latter inclined to 

 ferruginous; sides of thorax more rounded than in H. dorsalis. 

 Lapland ; " peut-etre aussi en Allemagne et en Angleterre.") 



19. H. opatrinus, Germ., Steph., Aube. This is one of those un-

 rest not upon insufficient but upon too remote authority ; I cannot 

 ascertain that it has been taken since 1829, by Mr. Hope, "Netley ; 

 Salop." It is a very distinct insect, size of H. dorsalis, black, punc- 

 tulate, clothed with dark green pubescence ; thorax broad and rounded 

 at sides. Taken throughout Europe. Long. 4 J — 5 ; larg. 2^ — 2|. 



(H. platynotus, Germ. H. murinus, Sturm. Long. 4j; larg. 2j. 

 Allied to H. opatrinus, which it closely resembles in colour and 

 punctuation ; it is always smaller, comparatively broader, more de- 

 pressed ; margin of thorax continued in almost the same line as 

 that of margin of elytra ; and not forming an angle with it, as in 

 H. opatrinus.) 



(H. Aubei, Muls. Long. 4 J. Dark red-brown ; thorax as large as 

 base of elytra, and does not form an apparent angle with it: differs
