Yar. filicicola, nov. 



Differs from the typical form by at least the basal half of the 

 first segment of the antennae being ochraceous, usually the first 

 two segments being so. The colouring of the body is somewhat 

 variable, being often suffused with red; the pronotum may be 

 immaculate, or the postero-lateral angles may be more or less 

 widely fuscous. In all the specimens before me, the head is more 

 distinctl} T exserted than in Reuter's figure, but I presume that 

 this extra part is usually withdrawn into the pronotum.
