Variable in form : the narrow elongate varieties have been mis- 
taken for Cure, elongata of Gyll., of which there are foreign spe- 
cimens in the cabinet of the Rev. P. W. Hope. 
Frequently found in damp meadows and in marshy places. 
14. H. Arundinis, Fab.^ et auct. alior. 
Rhyneh. Sii, Leach MSS. 
Extremely rare ; I do not possess a specimen, nor have I heard 
of any recent captures : there are examples in the cabinets of the 
British Museum, Entomological Society, Mr. Stephens and Mr. 
Curtis. 
Genus Limobius, Schonh.^ 
Hypera, Germ., Steph., Curt. 
Phytonomus, Schonh. olim. 
Char. Gen. Antennse moderate, rather slender, eleven-jointed ; 
scape moderately incrassated towards the apex, reaching to the 
eyes j funiculus six-jointed, the first longer and stouter than the 
second, third obconic, fourth and fifth nodose, sixth cup-shaped ; 
clava ovate or oblong-ovate, four-jointed. Rostrum twice or 
three times as long as the head, rather stout, rounded ; scrobes 
oblique, somewhat deep. Eyes lateral, oval, more or less pro- 
minent. Thorax, base and apex truncate, dilated and rounded 
at the sides. Scutellum minute. Elytra ovate or oblong-ovate,
