 opinion nearly related form from Germany and Switzerland. If the 

 statement, that its abdomen is "vorn mit ausgepragten Mittel- und 

 Seitenecken", be correct , it is of course far removed from E. quadrata.

Fabricius has loc. cit. so fully described his A. impresm, that 

 no doubt can remain of its identity with E. umbratica. — Concerning 

 Ar. sex-punctata Linn., vid. Eec. crit. Aran., p. 88. 



E. silvicultrix C. Koch and E. bohemica id., placed by Walcke-
