It is not improbable that the H. ater represented in Jurines14th plate may be nothing more than a variety of H. anoma-lipes with the legs entirely black; for in one of Panzers figuresall the thighs are black, and I have a specimen in which onlythe tips of the anterior thighs and their tibiae are ochreous. Helorus is by no means a common insect; I took speci-mens many years since in Norfolk, and Mr. Kirby has ob-served it in Suffolk; Mr. F. Walker takes it at Southgate ina marshy meadow in August; Mr. Dale has found it on ParleyHeath, Dorset; and Mr. Haliday sent me a specimen fromBelfast; he detected it in a marshy field at Holywood. The Plant represented is Solanum nigrum (Common Night-shade). /*%/.
