CaPUT subleve. Palpi rufo-ferruginei. Antenne fuse, articulis duobus vel tribus 
primis rufo-ferrugineis ; magis quàm in precedente clavate, thoracis fere longi- 
tudine; articulis quinque ultimis subturbinatis, Svo contiguis dimidio bre- 
viore. | 
Truncus. Thorax transversé subquadratus, longitudine pauló latior, margine po- 
stico subrecto, apud angulos inconspicué et latè exciso. Coleoptra obscuré fus- 
co-rufescentia, thorace dupló et dimidio longiora et ejus latitudine, apice rotun-

For regarding this species, which is very distinct from the pre- 
ceding, as Catops agilis of Gyllenhal, I have the authority both 
of. his excellent description, and of a Swedish specimen sent me 
by my kind correspondent Mr. Schönherr, of Stockholm, author 
of the valuable Synonyma Insectorum.

CaPuT sub lente sub-punctatum. Labrum fusco-ferrugineum. Palpi ferruginei, 
Antenne fusce, articulis tribus primis rufo-brunneis, extimo pallido; crassiores 
quàm in duobus precedentibus, thorace feré tertià parte breviores, structura ferà 
ut in C. truncatá, 
Truncus. Thorax niger, angulis posticis obscure rubentibus, quadrato. transversus, 
longitudine dupló latior, margine postico subrecto, apud angulos vix exciso, 
Coleoptra rufo-brunnea, thorace triplö longiora et pauló latiora, apice subacuta, 
Pedes rufo-brunnei, anticis (coxis exceptis) dilutioribus, 
In colour this does not much differ from the preceding, but is 
furnished with other characters strikingly distinctive. The an- - 
teunz are shorter and thicker, almost precisely the shape and 
structure of those of C. villosa ; with Which, indeed, were it not 
for its round apexed elytra and rugulose surface, it might be 
confounded. The thorax is very short, being at least twice as 
broad
