I received this insect from Mr. Donovan, and therefore have no 

 doubt respecting the individual species. The elytra, according to the 

 above description, can scarcely be considered as bidentate ; they 

 appear as if they were abruptly broken off at their apex. 'I'he sexes 

 vary very much in size.

ITiis species, which appears to have escaped the notice of ento- 

 mologists, is abundant. I suspect that the male sex will have the 

 denticulation on each side of the thorax more marked than in the 

 female described.
