Fab. N.B.— Although the twc 
types of 8p. testacea in the Bank' 
sian collection agree with 8p 
cardui, a change in the nomen- 
clature is not justified, because 
8p. testacea is very distinctlj 
characterized in the Ent. Syst 
and Syst. El. by the words " tho 
race et elytris Icevissimis" whicl 
character certainly cannot bf 
applied to Sp. cardui.

Payk. var. (non violacea, Ent. H.^ 
The specimens communicatee 
under Nos. 113 and 194* an 
indeed not specifically distinc 
fi'om A. caerulea of Paykull, an( 
are a very interesting variety o 
the same which is not mentionec 
elsewhere ; therefore the state 
ment of M. Allard that Ch. pseu 
dacori of Mar sham belongs U 
Aph. ccerulea of Paykull is per 
fectly correct, and confirmed b] 
the habitat of the insect on thi 
Iris 'pseudacorus ; whilst Apth 
violacea, Ent. H., has a very dif 
ferent form, being more broadlj 
rounded, and has a veiy differen' 
sculpture ; and lives on Ev.phor 
hia palustris : nevertheless, i' 
exhibits similar variations in th( 
colour of the base of the anten 
nsD and legs. 
* The specimens sent under No. 113, are the dark-legged var. common on the Iris pseudacorus m 
the neighbourhood of London ; the specimens marlied 194 were from Deal, and have the legs entirely 
testaceous, excepting the posterior femora and the bases of the anterior femora, which are black.—
