Occasionally found in several localities by brushing amongst 
grass, but never in any numbers.

Common everywhere.

Cure, dissimilis var. major, Herbst. 
Never elothed with brilliant green scales like Hy. nigrirostris, 
and may further be distinguished from the varieties of that in- 
sect by having a dark denuded stripe on the middle of each ely- 
tron posteriorly, bordered within and without by a series of white 
or fuscescent spots : as to the form, size and sculpture it very 
closely resembles the foregoing. 
Although Gyllenhal and Schonherr have eited this insect as a 
variety of the preceding, yet I concur with Germar that it is 
sufficiently distinct. 
Common in the North of England on the different species of 
Vicia, Trifolium and Medicago.

This insect differs from the preceding by having the thorax 
very short, and much more dilated at the sides. 
There are foreign speeimens which agree with it in the cabinet 
of Mr. Kirby from Gyllenhal. 
Rare in the vicinity of London. Taken near Ross, Hereford- 
shire, by Mr. Spry. 
* This synonym is repeated under No. 11, because it is represented in 
Wilkins's cabinet by two different insects.
