Material examined : 10 specimens, collected by B. Ogaza on Prunus spinosa L. 

 in Cracow, Poland during March, 1962 ; received from Z. Kawecki. A number of 

 specimens received from X. S. Borchscnius (collected by A. Kiritchenko in the 

 Odessa district, USSR in 1928) agreed well with the above description, but the 

 medial pronotal setae were not observed in any of the 10 specimens examined. 

 These specimens were generally in a poor condition (they were kept dry on cotton 

 wool), with many setae broken off.
