These occur on the continent (Ulbricht 1984, pl 28, no. 1, pl 29, no. 1 and pl 72, nos. 1-3) and in England, where they have been recorded from Northampton and York (Baldwin Brown 1915, 391, pl LXXXVI, no. 2; Waterman 1959, pl XVIII, no. 2) as well as from London (VCH 1909, 165, fig 27, Baldwin Brown 1915, 391, pl LXXXVII, no. 1), the latter comb having fanciful animal head end-plates and an exagger-ated humped back.
