elytra with a black baud on the middle; each 

 marked by two black spots at the hase, of which 

 one is near the scutel, and the other on the 

 humerus ; a black obsolete one near the tip : 

 abdomen silky. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



Not uncommon. I have found it in June, on 

 the oak and other forest trees : it very much re- 

 sembles Anthicus monoceros, of which Marsham 

 observes, " Thorax recta antrorsum exiens in 

 cornu nigricans ultra caput entensum, unde vere 

 monstrosa et insectis insolita facies." A. mono- 

 don was first described by Fabricius, but it has 

 not been hitherto figured.
