Foudr., Kutsch. {testacea, All.). 



Waterh. Catal. (tahida, Illig.). Ac- 

 cording to your testimony the 

 0. tahida, Fab., belongs to a 

 species hitherto denominated 

 verhasci by authors. We may 

 adopt the name jacohace, as 

 thereis no other. 



Fab., hitherto verhasci, Panzer. 



Marsham. Scarcely to be admitted 

 as a distinct species from T. 

 tahida, as similar variations of 

 colouring may be observed in 

 other species. 



A very distinct species,* at all 

 events different from T. tahida 

 {verhasci) . 



Marsh., Kutsch. The name exoleta 

 of Linn, cannot be kept up in 

 the face of the contradictions in 

 the first and second editions of 

 Linnaeus' Fauna Suecica.

t Described from specimens found by me at Mickleham, in Surrey, on the Ragwort {Senecio 

 Jacobeca), in the bf(;innin(i of September, 1S63.— O. R. W. 



{ I took several .specimens of this species in Darentli Wood in May and June, l^CO, ou the leaves 

 of a species of Verbascum, Specinuns sent to M. Allan! were returned to me a.s the II. laternli* of 

 Illiger, but as none of my specimens exhibited the slightest trace of any dark mark on the sides of the 

 elytra, as described by Illiger, I was not satisfied with tlie identification,' and mentioned my doubts in 

 my notes aceompanying the collection sent to Herr Kutschera.— G. R. W. [This is the insect recently 

 described aa T.pairMlit by M. Allard.— £. C. li.]
