_ I have referred De Geer's Dermestes fornicatus to this species, 
rather than, as is usually done, to C. tristis of this paper, because 
both his figure, and his description of the antennz, which he 
calls longer than the head and thorax, are much more applicable 
to the former than to the latter.
