a Family of Coleopterous Insects. 651 
Parvus, statura P. microcephali et lineati, niger. Caput mag- 
num. Antenne magne, clavate, irregulares, ferrugineo, 
biarticulate, clavà elongatd integra. Thorax levis, ferru- 
gineus, immaculatus. Elytra strigà media, margineque 
omni a strigá ad apicem ferrugineis. Pedes nigri. 
I have been compelled, in consequence of not having met 
with any specimen of the genus agreeing with the description 
given of this species by Fabricius in the Entomologia Systema- 
tica, (to which no additional description is given in the Systema 
Eleutheratorum,) to draw the above characters from the Fabri- 
cian specific description: I consequently place it in this section 
with doubt. 
In addition to the preceding species, Latreille in the Nouveau 
Dictionnaire d' Hist. Nat. vol. xxv. p. 58. states, that ** M. Gat- 
toire en a trouvé une espèce à l'Ile de France." "The species 
is not, however, mentioned, but from its geographical habitat 
it would appear to be a distinct species: indeed, in his new 
work, Cours d'Entomologie, vol.i. p. 298, Latreille mentions 
this as ** une espèce inédite."
