Var. plumigera, Y\\ Horn. 



Bather smaller and duller than the type-form, with shorter and 

 more slender tarsi ; forehead more finely striated between the 



resembles in colour and general 

 markings and also in the pub- 

 escence of the underside ; the 

 latter, however, is closer, coarser, 

 and thicker, and the hairs in 

 front of the white labrum are 

 also thicker and more conspi- 

 cuous ; the markings of the 

 elytra are similar, but on a 

 larger scale, and the granu- 

 lation of the upper surface is 

 stronger; the metallic reflec- 

 tion, also, is brighter. The 

 chief distinction, however, lies 

 in the fact that the male has, 

 on the underside of the fourth 

 joint of the antenme, a very 

 distinct solid fascia or plume of 

 thickly-set hairs which stand 

 out for some distance from the 

 antenna?. The margins of the 

 elytra in the female are some- 

 times irregular and sinuate ; but 

 this is not always the case, and 



Length 12^-15 millim.
