black ; the disc with punctures like those on the clavus, fine, disposed in rows, 
anterior margin clear ; wembrane fuscous, darker at the base, near the outer 
basal angle a distinct lunate white spot, and one rounded and less distinct pos- 
teriorly on the outer margin ; the 2nd inner nerve whitish near the base. Sternum 
with yellowish hairs. Legs — thighs black ; tihicB piceous, black at the apex, 1st 
pair curved throughout, 2nd and 3rd pairs not spined, but thickly set with very 
fine projecting hairs ; tarsi piceous. 
Aldomen — Beneath, clothed with yellowish projecting hairs. 
A single (^ (deecribed above), iu tbe collection of Dr. Power, was 
taken by Mr. Hislop, in Scotland (locality not noted). 
Note. — This species, also a reputed native of Britain, appears to 
vary in colour, for some authors make no mention of the black spot in 
tbe corium, describe yellowish spots near the base of the coxae, and say 
that the 2nd or 2nd and 3rd joints of the antennae are brown-red. In 
Hahn's figure the hairs of the antennae are represented as long and 
strong, and the colour of the tibiae and 2nd joint of the antennae is 
yellow, in which particulars his own description differs. 
Qenus 10*. — Lampeonotus, Doug. & Scott, n. g. 
Oblong, sides parallel. 
Head 5-sided, triangular in front, the base much narrower than the 
pronotum, into which it is deeply set : Face — middle lobe elongate, 
prominent, side lobes compressed, pointed. Antennae long, slender, 
1st joint thickest, three-fourths the length of the head, half the 
length, at least, reaching beyond the apex of the face; 2nd one- 
fourtb longer than the 1st ; 3rd about the length of the 1st ; 4th a 
trifle longer than the 3rd; the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd very slightly 
thickened to the apex, the 4th long-fusiform. Eyes small, touching 
the pronotum. Ocelli Yerj small, rather nearer to the eyes than 
to each other. Rostrum slender, reaching to the 2nd pair of coxae. 
Thorax — Pronotum trapeziform, broad, almost quadrate, anterior 
margin cut out for the reception of the head ; anterior angles 
rounded ; sides very slightly sinuate, the margins, extending the 
whole length, narrow, distinct, scarcely reflexed ; disc in front 
(rather more than half the length) very convex, smooth, posteriorly 
depressed, hinder angles raised into a callus ; posterior margin 
concave. Scutellum large, longer than broad, apex pointed, disc at 
some distance from the sides raised into a V-form, the centre of 
which is deeply depressed, and from the apex a sharply defined 
keel extends to the apex of the scutellum, forming altogether a
