5 (8.). Anterior legs, beneath, without long bristly hairs. The elytra without 
intermixed fuscous hairs. The eyes of 3 not very large and convex. Yertex not, 
or very indistinctly, carinate. 
6 (7.). Fourth joint of antennae scarcely twice, or a little less than twice, 
shorter than the third, and distinctly longer than the first. The genital segment of 
3 broader than the preceding ones ; the forceps very large, the right lobe bidentate, 
on the left lobe the teeth very long-produced O. prasinus, Fall. 
7 (6.). Fourth joint of antennae twice (3), or more than twice (9), shorter 
than the third, and scarcely ($), or very little, longer (3) than the first. The 
genital segment of 3 scarcely broader than the others ; the forceps moderate, the 
right lobe bidentate, with the teeth short, almost equal O. Scotti, Reut. 
8 (5.). Anterior legs, beneath, with a series of long, pale, bristly hairs. Hemi- 
elytra often (especially in the 3) with rather numerous intermixed fuscous hairs. 
Vertex carinate, in the 3 almost narrower than the very convex, prominent and 
large eye. Eves, in 3 , above, approaching each other. Antennae (especially in 3 ) 
rather robust, very densely and finely fuscous-pubescent ; third joint only one-seventh 
or one-eighth (3), or one-fifth to one-fourth (?) shorter than the second, and two 
and one-third — almost three times — longer than the fourth ; fourth joint as long 
as, or scarcely longer, than the first. Genital segment of 3 small.

Globiceps fulvipes, l. c ., No. 171. In vol. xv, p. G6, I have 
given the differential characters of fulvipes, Reut., and favomaculatus, 
Eabr., Reut., but now, in reading the descriptions of the British 
authors, I find that fulvipes, Saund. (= flavomaculatus , Dough and 
Scott) cannot be referred to fulvipes , Rout. Messrs. Douglas and 
Scott say (Brit. Hem., p. 3G5) : “ Corium : * * disc with a large 
pale yellowish-white triangular patch,” -while the <$ of fulvipes, Reut., 
has only an external, mostly very small, and often scarcely distinct, 
w r hite spot. Examining the descriptions, and also the figures, drawm 
and coloured by Fieber, I find also that there really exist three very 
closely allied species in Europe. 
1. Gl. selectus, Fieb. (— flavomaculatus, Fall., F. Sahib., Reut.). Vertex of 
3, as far as to the margin, convex-, the margin in the middle carinate, carina 
arcuate.* the front very convex. Head of 9 very globose, vertex emarginate, seen 
from the side, very convex, and highly raised above the eyes. Last two joints of 
antennse paler. Eves of 3 an d 9 remote from the pronotum. Pronotum at the base 
about two and a-half ( 3)> or almost two-thirds broader than at the extreme apex 
before the calli ; the calli in 9 very elevated. Corium, behind the base, with a large 
triangular whitish patch, which, at the apex, is emarginate. The right forceps at the 
apex incurved, not, or scarcely, to the right, but to the left, almost at a right angle, 
and much prolonged ; the prolongation with the margins almost parallel, the upper 
margin near the apex with small teeth. 
* The carina rarely reaches almost to the inner margin of the eye ; but in this case the species 
is also distinguished by the convex vertex, and by the eyes being remote from the pronotum ; 
lastly, by the different structure of the right forceps. It is possible that the British specimens 
(described as flavomaculatus, by Douglas and Scott; are to be referred only to this variety, and not 
to the following species.— 0. M. R.
