Fab. N.B.— Although the two 

 types of Sp. testacea in the Bank- 

 sian collection agree with 8p, 

 cardui, a change in the nomen- 

 clature is not justified, because 

 Sp. testacea is very distinctly 

 characterized in the Ent. Syst. 

 and Syst. El. by the words " tho- 

 race et elytris loevissimis,'^ which 

 character certainly cannot be 

 applied to Sp. cardui. 



Gyll. 



Payk. var. (non violaceay Ent. H.) 

 The specimens communicated 

 under Nos. 113 and 194* are 

 indeed not specifically distinct 

 from A. ca^ulea of Paykull, and 

 are a very interesting variety of 

 the same which is not mentioned 

 elsewhere ; therefore the state- 

 ment of M. Allard that Ch. pseu- 

 dacori of Marsham belongs to 

 Aph. ccerulea of Paykull is per- 

 fectly correct, and confirmed by 

 the habitat of the insect on the 

 Iris pseudacon.is ; whilst Apth. 

 violacca, Ent. H., has a very dif- 

 ferent form, being more broadly 

 rounded, and has a very different 

 sculpture ; and lives on Euphor- 

 bia palustris : nevertheless, it 

 exhibits similar variations in the 

 colour of the base of the anten- 

 naa and legs. 



• The Hpeclmena sent under \o. 113, are the dark-IeRged var. common on the IrU pseudacorut in 

 the neighbourhood of London; the specimens marked 194 were from Deal, and have the legs entirely 

 testaceous, exeej)ting the posterior femora and the bases of the anterior femora, which are black.—
