 Antenna mediocres, media-, basi testacea?. Oculi sub- 

 immersi, inagni. 

 Truncus. Thorax leviter punetulatus, postiee lineola ex- 

 aratus. Scutellum ininittum. Coleoptra oblonga, atro- 

 caerulea, subsulcata : sulculis punctatis. 

 Obs. — Femina rostrum mediocre. Antenna pone apicem rostri in- 

 serttc capitulo temti. Tibia ahtcriores basi et medio subattenuata 

 unde siibflexuosa evadunt. 



What I have given as the two sexes of this insect (which is evi- 

 dently Anion vorax of Herbst, and which has been sent to me as 

 such from Sweden) stand in Mr. Marsham's cabinet as his CurculU 

 fnscicornis and villosulus • and once, led by the shape of the an- 

 terior tibiae in that which I take to be the female, I regarded 

 them as distinct myself; but upon reconsidering the subject, I 

 find that they agree together so exactly in every circumstance, 

 except such as are common sexual characters in this genus, that 

 I have scarcely any doubt of their identity.
